Dearest Subscribers to the Phobographer: we’ve got great news. We’re giving you a brand new perk. For all current and future members, you now can get a mystery box of presets made by the Phoblographer. This is on top of the banner-ad free experience, Capture One discount, Imalume Photo Thief Protection discount, all of our e-Books, and Herbs and Kettle. Additionally, we’re working on building up even more discounts across the board. And if you want to use your member benefits, you should shoot us an email and check in.

The mystery box of presets were created to give subscribers a taste of our other presets. It’s a simple idea: buy a mystery box and get a random sample. It’s kind of inspired by the nostalgic moment where you bought a box of cereal and found a random toy in it when you were a child. Or even a trading card!

This basically gives you extra value. And best of all, we haven’t raised the price of the membership since we launched it back in 2020. That means that we’re cheaper than all of the competition and yet we’re providing a whole lot more value.

Then there’s all the other stuff:

  • 20% off Capture One: Which is a huge discount and perhaps our most popular membership perk.
  • 20% off Herbs and Kettle: For anyone wanting to keep their caffeine supply higher with a completely unique and different experience.
  • 30% off Imalume: Track down anyone who’s stealing and using your images and then go after them for money.
  • Banner-ad free Phoblographer: The ultimate experience in reading our website.
  • Our eBooks: All for free

If you haven’t signed up for our $25/year membership, you really should.
