Outdoor Photographer is an American nature photography magazine. [1] [2] It is published eleven times per year, monthly, save for a combined January/February issue. [3]
Outdoor Photographer was founded by Steve Werner and first published in 1985. [4] In 2000, it had roughly 172,000 regular subscribers. [5] Regular contributors have included Galen Rowell, [6] Frans Lanting, [7] Dewitt Jones, [8] William Neill, Amy Gulick, Justin Black, and QT Luong.
In July 2014, columnist Bob Krist revealed that he was not paid by the magazine in over a year. Many other contributors were awaiting payment as well, and the magazine stopped responding to payment requests. In July 2015, an announcement was made that the magazine was acquired by the Boston-based publishing company Madavor Media. [9] Shortly after the announcement, former contributors were contacted and promised that information would soon be provided about how to recover fees owed by the former owner. [9] The headquarters of the magazine is in Braintree, Massachusetts. [10]
In 2023, it was revealed that multiple contributors had not been paid for months. [11] In February of that year, the BeBop Channel Corporation acquired Madavor Media, [12] including all its photography-related publications: Outdoor Photographer, Digital Photo Pro, Digital Photo, the Image Creators Network, and Imaging Resource. In May, Outdoor Photographer Magazine Editor-in-Chief Dan Havlik confirmed that all the magazine's staff had been laid off and that the June/July issue would be Outdoor Photographer's final issue. [13] BeBop subsequently announced that on February 29th, 2024, it transferred ownership of Outdoor Photographer, along with several other former Madavor Titles to "Titles JCMJ, LLC" [14]

Stock photography is the supply of photographs that are often licensed for specific uses. The stock photo industry, which began to gain hold in the 1920s, has established models including traditional macrostock photography, midstock photography, and microstock photography. Conventional stock agencies charge from several hundred to several thousand US dollars per image, while microstock photography may sell for around US$0.25 cents. Professional stock photographers traditionally place their images with one or more stock agencies on a contractual basis, while stock agencies may accept the high-quality photos of amateur photographers through online submission.
A graduated neutral-density filter, also known as a graduated ND filter, split neutral-density filter, or just a graduated filter, is an optical filter that has a variable light transmission. Typically half of the filter is of neutral density which transitions, either abruptly or gradually, into the other half which is clear. It is used to bring an overly-bright part of a scene into the dynamic range of film or sensor. For example, it can be used to darken a bright sky so that both the sky and subject can be properly exposed. ND filters can come in a variety of shapes and sizes and densities and can be used in all types of photographic applications from still photography, motion photography and scientific applications.
