In a digital photography world, the analog process of shooting film is often seen as a relic of the past.

Yet, although we may be experiencing a collective shift toward a more technologically infused creative industry, many artists still maintain an unrelenting passion and dedication to the film techniques that essentially built the medium of photography.

In order to keep the art of film photography alive, creators have been holding strong to the idea that “Film is Not Dead.” In an attempt to showcase the photographers and visual storytellers still using film to create captivating imagery, there have been multiple photography magazines created that consist only of images shot on film.

To show you that Analog is Not Dead, we have compiled a list of our favorite photography magazines that are keeping the beauty of film alive. Whether you are a film photographer seeking a publication to submit your work or truly just drawn to the analog aesthetic, these are the photography magazines you need to know.
