Darkrooms keeps growing – A look back and a glimpse ahead

After almost three years of Darkrooms, I am renewing: expanded interviews, additional e-books and premium magazine editions. Here you can read all the changes for 2025 at a glance.

What a year it has been for Darkrooms! And even better: 2025 promises so much more. Let me take you through what Darkrooms has achieved and where we’re heading next.

144 Weeks of uninterrupted Darkrooms
Every single week, without fail, a fresh Darkrooms newsletter lands in your inbox. For 144 consecutive weeks, I’ve shared exciting photography by photographers worldwide, inspiring stories, and in-depth interviews. And I’m far from done – I’ll continue this weekly tradition with great pleasure.

More stories from the Dark Rooms
The feature “The Dark Rooms Of...” has captured your hearts. In 2025, I’ll open even more doors and take a closer look at photographers who usually remain outside the spotlight. Similarly, “Un/Taken”, where we explore the stories behind the photos that were never made, will have a more prominent role.

New e-books on the horizon
For the bookworms among us: a whole new series of ebooks is in the works. A collection of the best interviews from recent years will be brought together in one richly packed edition. The popular series “Long-Term Photography Projects” is returning in a completely revised version. And of course, you can expect fresh specials from Darkrooms Magazine.

Darkrooms Magazine evolves: A new chapter for the magazine!

Exciting news! We’re making Darkrooms even more accessible and user-friendly. As a loyal reader, I want you to be the first to hear about some thrilling changes.

Easier access to the magazine
No more fussing with Google Drive links! From now on, subscribers can simply download the magazine and read it offline whenever it suits them. Perfect for that long train journey or when you don't have a web connection.

A fresh look for every edition
I’m not only looking ahead but also revisiting the past: all previous editions will receive the same fresh, updated look. This way, it will create a consistent experience across the entire collection.

Premium content for true enthusiasts
I’m working on an extended premium version of the magazine, packed with extra content for the dedicated Darkrooms fan. The price for this will be just $3.95 – still less than a good cup of coffee in the city. This small investment will allow me to keep innovating and elevate the quality of the magazine even further.

The free version will, of course, continue to be available and might be supported by carefully selected advertisements that align with the Darkrooms spirit.

Why these changes?

All these developments serve one purpose: to make Darkrooms even better for you. My goals are to:

• Provide you with an even better reading experience

• Deliver excellent photography content

• Share more in-depth stories

• Strengthen the Darkrooms community

• Ensure the magazine remains sustainable

I’m incredibly excited about this new phase and hope you are too. Together, we’ll make Darkrooms even better!

PS: Have questions about these changes? Let me know – I’m happy to help!
