Korean Photography Blog

Shaking the dust off

One of the newest and quite possibly the most attractive new foreigner run publications is 10 Magazine. This excellent Magazine features some stunning photography and excellent insight on how to live it up in Korea!

One of the first things that I noticed when I first picked up this magazine was the quality of the publishing and awesome layout. This is a pro job and it is something that I only wished we could have pulled off when I was doing the “Ulsan Pear” This magazine looks as well as it reads.

What I like about this mag is the great photography and I hope many of you get a chance to grace its covers because I know that this publication is going to be a hit! The other great thing is the attempt at making this publication “non-Seoul-centric” To me the biggest down of most publications that are for “Foreigners” is the Seoul-centric-ness of the information. However, the hardest part of attempting to expand the borders is finding out useful stuff across this nation. They do a really good job of informing its readers of all noteworthy events in Korea.

Why would this be important for us? Well, where else are you going to get interesting shots like that one from the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festival? The Calender is a highly organized listing of events across the country and organized by regions. Just flipping through the pages, I have already started planning my next few photo shoots.

At any rate, next time you can, pick up a copy. They are distributed across the country through Kyobo Bookstores and are cheap! about 3,500 won. Also many restaurants and cafes like Tom N Toms have them for you to read in their stores.

Their website is always interesting and has tons of information for you to check out. The address is http://10magazine.asia/

Now I have no affiliation with 10 Magazine, just a subscription. Why I am writing about them today? Well, I got the magazine the other day and was very impressed. If you pick up this month’s issue, check out what the Managing Editor Stephen Revere has to say on page 4.

I was impressed that this slick mag has a great mind when it comes to helping foreigners. With the more success that they get, the more they will give back to the foreign community and charities that we are involved with. I feel happy that I sent in my $26 a few weeks ago and now can get this every month. Guys and Gals, seriously get out and pick this magazine up and I assure you that you won’t be able to put it down.
