EDITORIAL
I share what Olivier Zahm expressed in the ed-
itorial of the twenty-fifth anniversary edition
of Purple Magazine, "It’s been years now that
younger generations don’t use magazines to ex-
press themselves". (Zahm, 2017). In a digital age
in which we settle to look at a photograph on the
screen of a smartphone, it is essential that we, the
photographers, turn back our attention to maga-
zines, publish our best works in them and invite
people to enjoy pictures in this format. In this first
edition we had the honor of having the partici-
pation of close friends and colleagues, who were
contagious by the desire to show our photos in
a larger size than social networks allow us, enjoy
viewing a double page and navigate through the
magazine -simulating the page flip effect- with
the real feeling of turning a page.
We are so excited to share the work of fantastic
artists around the world, who are being protago-
nists of our time!
I want to thank the people who made this first
edition (BEAUTY) possible: Gonzálo Pepe (ARG),
Ruben Chanquet (URU), Gabriel Matula (ARG),
Victor De Prá (BRA), Julieta Pinto (ARG), Bruna
Torralba (ARG), and all the models and team that
participated in the productions.
