Customer Rating:      Summary: French PHOTO Comment: I have not yet started to receive this subscription but, I have been buying single copies off the newsstand for several years.
Although I do not speak French, this is an image publication with items primarily from Europe. French PHOTO gives a bit of visual perspective to those of us stuck on this side of the pond.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Best by far... Comment: This magazine explores the art of photography in true style and without false boundries. Even though the text is in French, they often reference an article's subject with a web link that you can explore or, of course, you can google the artist name and learn more about a particular work in English. Buy it at the newstand if you don't want the hastle of dealing with a subscription. The price is very reasonable considering it's an import.
Customer Rating:      Summary: OOH-LA-LA! Comment: When an American photo magazine tests a new camera or lens, they all too often photograph some inane collection of poseable figurines on their desktop, or a boring vista of the office buildings out the editor's window. Photo-France often photographs nudes with their reviews. Strike a blow against the idiocy of 'Freedom Fries' and remember that France helped us win our Revolutionary War each time you buy an issue (at the newsstand).
Customer Rating:      Summary: Photo-France Comment: I have not recieved my copy yet. It was supposed to be deliver by aug 1st.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent magazine, best purchased at the newsstand. Comment: Tough to decide how many stars to give Photo France; the magazine itself is exceptional: think of "American Photo" but more freewheeling in every way. Clearly 5/5. But my review here reflects the experience of purchasing a subscription from Amazon.
I should have read the previous reviews before subscribing; I have yet to receive a single issue of this beautiful magazine, even though the vendor claims to have mailed out at least two issues. It's hard to know who to blame: the publisher, Amazon, the distributor, or the postman.
If you're lucky enough to live near a good newsstand, save yourself the headache and just buy it in person. Spend your time enjoying the great photography instead of tracking down undelivered issues.
