8 Magazine comes to Stack

Bringing together some of the most illuminating and exciting photography from around the world, 8 Magazine is right at the top of its game, and now it’s part of Stack.

If we’re used to seeing subjects like the Iranian protests and Guantanamo Bay in the news, 8 Magazine casts them in a fresh light that makes it feel as though you’re seeing it all for the first time, its lens going behind the headlines to give readers a whole new perspective. Not that it’s all about the news – 8 is just as happy in amongst the seething flesh of a suburban swinger’s party as it is in a war zone, and treats all of its subjects with the same seriousness and enquiring eye.

Like Eye, 8 Magazine is able to provide all this by charging a premium for copies. Coming out twice a year, each issue costs £20 and the cover price is reflected not just in the subject matter but also the quality of the physical object. Beautifully printed on a variety of papers with a smart black gloss spine, 8 is the sort of magazine that demands a space on your shelf.
