In Praise of Affinity Publisher for Photographers

affinity publisher

I don’t know about you, but I find the new Adobe subscription model a bit annoying. If I have multiple devices, I always get booted out, and I (always) forget my login passwords, having to reset my password, etc. Easier to just buy and own it forever — in praise of the new Affinity Publisher and Affinity Photo:

Based on the ‘Brill’ Photo theme:

The future of publishing

I am convinced– the future of photography is publishing. Why? New innovative ways you can share and publish your work. Photo books (printed) and also printed magazines and physical prints … seems quite antiquated. Also in this brave new digital world of ‘NFT’s’ (non fungible tokens, for digital art) — why not digital publishing? I am convinced– the reason why people think of print as superior to digital is because of old-school snobbery, and old crusty antiquated values.

Fun!

When I came from Chicago, I had a bunch of photos I was sitting on. And in creating a PDF magazine (e-zine) of my photos, it was soooo fun to put them together in an innovative new way with layouts, and just kind of having fun with it — putting together random spreads and such:

There is no right and wrong way to do it

Just play with it, add photos, create your own spreads, and publish as PDF, and share it openly and freely — on your blog, website, via email, messenger, Dropbox, Google Drive, whatever. Open source all the way!
