Portraiture Magazine Issue no. 1

When I founded Portraiture Magazine, I had one goal: to lift others up. You see, the catalyst for creating this magazine was the COVID-19 crisis. As I’m writing this, many businesses have shut down, halted production, or closed their doors. Photographers like myself have had to put their businesses on pause which leads to a lot of uncertainty for the future.

This time of instability can lead to mental and emotional distress which becomes a downward spiral that’s hard to break out of. I, myself, started spiraling and found it hard to be hopeful about the future. Because of this, I wanted to create something that would give light and hope to other photographers who are struggling at this time.

Photographers deserve to have their work recognized and seen. My goal with Portraiture Magazine is to showcase the multitude of talented photographers out there and give them the recognition they deserve for the artwork they create.
