"A zine is most commonly a small-circulation of self-published work. It could be about many different topics: photography, illustration, design, etc…Usually zines are the product of a small group or individual people, and the primary intent is exposure rather than profit.
A photography zine, for example, is a tool that photographers can use to tell a visual story, to inform an audience about a specific topic or issue, to showcase and advertise a new idea or simply create a preview of an ongoing project. Zines were originally called fanzines, alluding to the fans who made them. Later on, Fanzine was just shortened to zine." - Jenna Black
I discovered zines at the end of 2020 when I was coaching artists to become entrepreneurs. Two years ago, I started making photobooks using my photos. The books are quite expensive. I just do it for my own records.
Currently, to share my photos, I blog and share on my Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. All are virtual and online. Some how I got the feeling that I wanted my photos in prints to share as well as to sell. Photography Zine may be my alternative because my photos portfolio is not good enough for me to print a book on photography.
Let me work on it.
