We like to call ourselves, “The Website for Real Photographers.” Read this website and want to help? In 2025, we’re trying to get to a minimum of 2,000 subscribers! Members get our articles without banner ads, Capture One discounts, and more are coming. The Phoblographer membership is based on our website — so you can read our articles wherever you go just by logging in. Best of all, our prices haven’t gone up, ever. One year of banner-ad free Phoblographer is still only $25/year. That’s pretty great!

The Phoblographer Subscription Membership Perks Include:

  • No banner ads in The Phoblographer’s articles when using the mobile or desktop website after confirming the subscription.
  • Discounts on Capture One products: The Phoblographer’s staff uses Capture One software for our product reviews. Manufacturers often recommend it to us.
  • More benefits are coming soon!
  • For membership support inquiries and instructions on how you use your benefits should be sent to admins(at)thephoblographer(dot)com

We’ve been working incredibly hard behind the scenes to get all this done. And we’re working with other vendors to try to bring our members even more benefits.

Here’s the info on how to become a member

  • When you want to use your member benefits, email admins(at)thephoblographer(dot)com and we’ll get you ready.

We hate banner ads too. We know folks complain about them, but we also need to pay our staff a fair and living wage. Beyond that, we’re also one of the few outlets making and publishing original articles every single day.
