Loupe is a forum for new discoveries and new images. Befitting its name, the journal provides closer views of photographic art-making. Interviews with established and emerging image-makers will expose first-person insights about the complex realm of 21st century photography. Commentary accompanying the portfolios illuminate salient aspects of the artist’s process while allowing and encouraging viewers to engage each project on individual terms as well. Images, and the pleasures of reading them, prevail over text.
