Don’t Take Pictures was a photography publication from 2013 to 2021 created by Kat Kiernan. Published in print every March and September, each issue focused on high quality reproduction of photography and elegant print design. Don’t Take Pictures Online complimented the print magazine with weekly columns, exhibition reviews, and art world news.
The title, Don’t Take Pictures, references the language of modern photography. Over the years, the term “taking pictures” has begun to be replaced with “making photographs.” The change signifies a distinction between the widespread use of cameras in the modern world and the more systematic, thoughtful process of creating photographic art. At Don’t Take Pictures, we strive to celebrate the creativity involved with the making of photographs.
