In brief

What you get

Unsubscribe works

A single click removes you, and only a suppression record remains.

Light first

Most issues deal with when to shoot before they deal with what to shoot it on.

Prints considered

Coverage assumes a photograph might end up on paper, not only on a screen.

The basics

Questions

How do I opt out?

Use the link at the bottom of any issue. We keep your address on a suppression list afterwards purely to make sure nothing reaches you again.

Do advertisers get my details?

No. The list is not a product and never has been.

How many emails will I get?

Once a month. Partner offers arrive separately.

Can I read a past issue first?

We will happily forward a back issue if you ask.

Is there a catch?

It costs nothing. No account, no card, no upgrade prompt.
