Popular Photography, formerly known as Popular Photography & Imaging, also called Pop Photo, is a monthly American consumer website and former magazine that at one time had the largest circulation of any imaging magazine, with an editorial staff twice the size of its nearest competitor.[ citation needed] The magazine ceased print publication in early 2017 but began publishing as a web-only magazine in June 2018. It officially relaunched in December 2021. [3]

One of its most well-known editors was American photographer and writer Norman Rothschild, whom Edward Steichen once called "the man who makes rainbows." [4]

History

The first issue of Popular Photography was published in 1937. It was based in New York City [5] and owned by a number of companies during its lifetime, including Ziff Davis. [5]

In 1989, Diamandis Communications purchased Modern Photography, a smaller rival of Popular Photography, and merged the magazines adding a circulation of between 500,000 and 689,000 at the time. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]: Vol. 2 – p. 1059 

Diamandis was purchased by Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S. in 1988 which subsequently sold the magazine to Bonnier Corporation in 2009. [11] The magazine's last publisher was Steven B. Grune and its last editor-in-chief was Miriam Leuchter. [12]

In early March 2017, the magazine folded, owing to declining advertising revenues from the consumer-camera industry. [13] The March/April 2017 issue was its last. In May 2017, Bonnier was offering to fulfill PopPhoto subscriptions by sending other magazines. [14]

PopPhoto soft-relaunched as an online-only publication in June 2018, and officially relaunched in December 2021. [15]
