Photo RAW photography magazine goes through a complete transformation!
After seven years in print Photo Raw magazine is going through a complete reshaping process. The new magazine will be a 160-page book-like creation, issued three times a year and delivered to your doorstep. Published completely in English, the relaunched Raw focuses on documentary photography and is aimed at anyone interested in photography and the photographic art form.
The new magazine presents photo series by both established photographers and the up-and-coming younger generation. It offers in-depth features and tells the surprising stories behind the images.
Designed by renowned graphic designer and photo book specialist Teun van der Heijden, the new and visually stunning magazine utilizes four types of art printing paper. Raw will also be given a new name and, with the relaunch, will begin again from issue #1. The first issue is a limited edition, so make sure you get yours before they run out!
Did you know that most of the people who come together to make Raw do it for free? Because of this, we need your help. You can now become our patron. As a part of the magazine’s renewal we’ve also developed a tablet version and a new, user-friendly website. This whole process costs around 23 000€, of which we’re looking to raise 15 000€ through the Mesenaatti.me crowdfunding platform. We’ve already received grants of 7 500€ for the relaunch.
The money raised will be spent on revamping the magazine’s design and content, developing new platforms, and planning and production costs. We are also expanding our channels of distribution: although the magazine is already sold in several corners of the world, we continue to grow our network. At the end of October 2014 the new Raw will be launched in Canada, California and Finland.
