 A must for the film buff. April 25, 2010
Vic Setterholm (Silicon Valley, CA USA)
This my inspiration for B&W photography. I have a Nikon f100 for B&W film taking and a Nikon D80 for color exposure. I get my digital color ideas from Aperture magazine, and together with American Photo, I am good to go.
Love this journal April 4, 2009

As a practicing photographer and not a collector, I've been very disappointed with B&W on the few occasions it's crossed my desk (I've never had a subscription, so I'm basing this on just the few issues I've seen).
Quality wise, the last issue I received was poorly printed - it contained streaks through the images and rampant misregistration, among other things. The paper is unimpressive as is the printing itself - the line-screen looks quite course. In a full-colour magazine, it would be fine, but for one in which everything is in monochrome, I would expect that they would print stochastically or at a higher resolution etc.
In terms of content, every time I've seen this magazine it has been filled with work which is typically very well-executed technically but un-innovative and un-inspirational, at least to me. Most of it is of the hobbyist/dedicated amateur variety, with few capital-A Artists or professionals. Stereotypical nature and bodyscape-style photos seem to dominate, with few examples of conceptual, thematic or `high art' work, and I've never seen any fashion or photo-journalism either.
We could use more non-technical photography magazines, but B&W caters to an audience obsessed with traditionalism and the imitation of old masters such as Cartier-Bresson and Ansel Adams.
PS: reading body copy set in Futura with tight leading is a real pain.
B&W Best photo Magazine September 23, 2005

This is by far the best photo magazine I have seen in my 40 years of being a photographer.(and I subscribe to half a dozen).
The reproduction is superb, and it offers a variety of genres without getting into the freaky stuff like Aperture sometimes does. I have saved every issue I have received as if a book.

This past summer I picked up two issues of this magazine and they sat on my shelf for a few months before I finally got around to reading them. I was impressed. The quality of this magazine is higher than any other photographic magazine I've seen. The image quality, the paper, all top notch. This is a fine arts magazine and doesn't (at least from what I saw) spend time with articles about the technical side of the art. Rather, it focuses on individual artists and shows samples of their work. There are more great photographs in here than in any other photo magazine I've read. I intend on subscribing.
