Loupe Mag

Launched in 2016 , Loupe has built a reputation for featuring the best in contemporary photographic talent. As society increasingly uses imagery to communicate they recognise photography’s ability to document, create, debate, and make sense of the world around us.

Loupe showcases work that tackles big subjects, issues that shape the human experience. Loupe is not a photography magazine written by photographers, we commission articles by experts on each theme to explore and contextualise the projects we feature. In the landscape of photography magazines, Loupe is unique.
