Let's talk about Photography, Art and Magazine

Regardless of the time and era, the culture of photography is constantly diverse in both definition and people’s understandings towards it. Whether it is the time when we still stick with film cameras before the millennium, or, when digital photography has seamlessly integrated into our lives today, we will say, without a second thought that, photography is a direct record of our daily lives, a self-initiated hobby, or a professional skill set. How many of us will bear in mind with this sincere belief that “Photography is art”? Besides, traditional publishing media is losing its dominating positions to the rapid growth of web-based media, a couple of well-established publishers announced their decisions to cease publication of their print magazines. Does it mean traditional publishing or print publications have lost their places in the industry entirely? We assume, at this time being, reading this passage with your hand holding this actual published magazine, you already have your own realization regarding the last question. Based in Hong Kong, Photography Is Art (PIA) is the cutting edge print magazine published in bilingual on a monthly basis, which focuses only on examining and discussing the artistic aspect and value of photography.

Not another bilingual photography magazine is seen in the market, either in Hong Kong or worldwide. It is rather shocking that a young publishing house in Hong Kong is willing to spend the time and manpower (also money, of course) to launch a magazine which only talks about photography and art starting from zero. It is especially astonishing to those inside the industry, as they know better than anyone how much efforts one has to put into the whole process. Our editorial team has spent countless sleepless nights in recent months, perfecting every single detail of the pilot launch of PIA, demonstrating the true value of print magazine. Web-based media reacts so quickly to their focusing areas almost in a non-stop manner 24/7, and we as a monthly print magazine, are not striving for competition on the reaction speed with them. What we do is to nourish and nurture our readers in the world of art and photography. In this pilot launch of PIA, we have interviewed several renowned photographers for their stories. At the same time the local creative culture is not something to be missed. We have collaborated with artists and practitioners on a series of contented and fun projects. We have no intention to blow one's own trumpet by connecting photography and art together.

Putting all our efforts into this magazine, searching for photographers with unique style, and introducing masters and emerging artists from China and around the world, is our only mission and responsibility towards our readers. Using a statement to name a magazine is definitely a bold and daring way to state its presence. Imagine if we put a full stop, a question mark, or even an exclamation mark to end the statement, the title is then instantly changed to a serious topic of discussion. Is Photography regarded as Art? What can we call Art? In this print magazine, let us go through this adventurous journey with our readers month by month, to meet people bearing different roles in photography, to observe the artistry in the pulse of this distinct culture. Be relaxed and curious, come join us and embrace the brilliant world of endless writings and images.
