The complete digital version of the magazine is only available to our digital subscribers at the moment. However, sometimes we make PDFs of previous issues available to our community, so make sure you’re subscribed to our newsletter and Facebook page to stay informed!
We publish Photo Life every two months (in January, March, May, July, September and November). The issues are usually available for purchase and sent to our subscribers a few weeks before their publication date.
You can buy subscriptions and individual copies of Photo Life magazine in our online store. Photo Life is also distributed to newsstands and photo retailers across Canada. Please refer to the Where to Find page to locate one near you.
We are always looking for new writers and photographers! Just make sure that you’re familiar with the content of the magazine and that you’ve read our submission guidelines before sending us your article ideas and images.
We’d love to see Photo Life in your store! Please email our publisher, Valérie Racine, at vracine@photolife.com.
We currently offer two print subscription packages. Since Photo Life is published every two months, the one-year subscription includes six issues, while the two-year subscription includes 12 issues.
