"Aperture" is a sophisticated guide to the world of contemporary photography that combines the finest writing with inspiring photographic portfolios. Presenting fresh perspectives accessible to the photo practitioner and the culturally curious alike, each issue examines one theme at the heart of contemporary photography, explored in two distinct sections: Words, focused on ideas, interviews and debate, and Pictures, offering an immersive photographic experience of artists' projects and series. Columns include Studio Visit, The Collectors, Dispatches, Object Lessons and What Matters Now. The Spring 2015 edition, "The Queer Issue," looks at how contemporary photographers are engaged with earlier queer references and touchstones, in addition to revisiting key figures and historical projects.
