Good Light! Magazine Reviews

Though the mag is noteworthy, if you ever encounter a subscription issue like I have, you’ll discover that there is actually no way to contact the magazine or GoodLightMagazine developer for help. I renewed my subscription in November and as of yet have not been able to access any of the magazines onto my iPad though access to mags prior to renewal remain accessible. Even more frustrating is that I have to create my own process to rectify... after no responses from using email, Twitter, and Apple support. Perhaps it is wiser to benefit from the free products the publisher provides.

GoodLightMagazine continually asks for me to subscribe when I have an ongoing subscription through apple. Even though you have paid for your downloaded issues; once GoodLightMagazine ask you to resubscribe; you lose access to those previously purchased issues. If the creators can fix this glitch, it would be a perfect app because the issues are filled with very informative articles.

Photography magazines have all pretty much devolved into billboards for whoever will pay their bills.

Good light is different. It give practical inexpensive techniques that anyone can do as well as technique to push a photographers skill level,,

I’ve pretty much given up on magazines except for GL. This is the only one I actually subscribe to.

The articles are not written/edited well and seem amateurish. I know Michael is a good writer and teacher, but the contributing writers and photographers are not. Most articles I’ve read offer little practical help and are more of a day in the life of the writer. I used to really enjoy this magazine, but it has gone downhill in the past few years.

I have been a subscriber since the beginning but I am constantly asked to purchase individual issues. Past six issues don’t even have an option to download. Customer support is non-existent. If they can’t fix my problems I will have to cancel my subscription.

As with every issue, I find the tutorials brilliant! I can't measure the hours saved by your mentoring approach of telling me both how to setup, and more important to me is, your sharing your missteps. Tremendous time saver. Thanks Michael!

Honestly the best teaching tool I can imagine. Always interesting topics from great photographers. Ideas. Processes. Beauty. Love it!!! I use the ideas book with new models for ideas.

Aesthetically pleasing, informative and interactive without being too fussy. Good for photographers new and advanced as well as artists looking to spruce up their illustration or just seeking models. Nice price as well.

Great articles. I love that the articles come with diagrams to visualize the setups as having videos is a bonus.

Excellent information

This is a awesome app full of information and picture

Half the time won’t load.

Great start a lot of value here

GoodLightMagazine works well and the layouts are good. Easy to read

It is very good but recently it has become buggy and I cannot get in.

Anyone needing or wanting to go into photography for nudes, this is a must have!!

Has great articles on photograph

Love the articles and setups

Love app...great

This is an incredibly useful magazine that doesn't stray from it's primary subject. It is strictly about lighting. No industry news or product announcements that you can find on hundreds of web sites. Very little in the way of product testing/placement. Just articles about lighting setups and creative model photography from experienced professionals and up-and-comers. The well written articles are accompanied by lighting diagrams and example photos that contain all the info you need. While some authors mention specific brands that they use, the info they present is brand agnostic. I've subscribed to or bought at news stands just about every photo mag out there, but Good Light is the only one I really look forward to.
