WHY PRINT MATTERS…
Aint–Bad’s readers are passionate about the current state of the arts and contemporary photography. They are interested in learning and growing within the medium of photography.
Most photographers would agree with the thought that nothing beats holding a physical printed object in your hands. Aint–Bad feels the same way. We view the magazine as an art journal and collectible object think of the white pages as the walls of a gallery. We have been dedicated to printing our magazines since 2011.
