A REFERENCE EDITION
Amongst the many social media platforms that dominate the visual image today, exhibiting work and inevitably standing out from the crowd ‘so to speak’, can pose a real challenge. The saturation of photography in today’s society has resulted in many publications and magazines surrendering to an ‘online platform’. And while the resurrection of genres like film photography and large format have re-invigorated the nostalgia and love that many photographers share. Print has continued as an ironically essential part of the photographic repertoire. DODHO magazine continues to support the continuation of this beautiful process and provides opportunities for photographers to exhibit their work beyond the screen.
For this reason, we saw the need to create a unique instrument, a promotional tool focused on a specific objective, which was real, authentic, in format and printed. Away from noise and it offers ephemeral recognition by social networks, a defined style that fulfills our main objective and that can be presented and distributed in galleries, agencies and festivals around the world.
Since we launched our first edition five years ago, it has become a reference magazine, a bridge connecting the most talented of photographers with experts in the photographic world. We are honoured to have published photographers the likes of Julia Fullerton Batten, Maria Svarbova, Laurent Baheux,
Michiko Chiyoda, Larry Louie, Gili Yaari, Thomas Alleman, Sandro Giordano and Stefanie Minzenmay. They are all but an example of the 84 amazing photographers featured to date.
Building opportunities
The accumulation and support of our audience and readers has not only allowed us to continue our ‘printed’ editions’ but also support the continuation of photographers and their practice. Our supporters, readers and audience across our various social media channels and website has been invaluable to us! DODHO magazine is committed to showcasing the best that photographers have to offer and build a community of photographers, writers and artists that share each other’s work and opportunities.

So, in case you couldn’t make your way into the shortlisted candidates, you can still enjoy an enhanced exposure through our online magazine!
