= Hungry Eye - The Film-making and Photography Journal =

Hungry Eye is a magazine which showcases exceptional image-making. The magazine, which publishes a printed issue four times a year, is on an insatiable search for original image-making and showcases the work of artists driven to push their creativity further and deeper than their contemporaries. From black and white analogue stills to short films shot with the latest technology, Hungry Eye explores the creative process and both the making and meaning of the image(s) in question. With Hungry Eye, image makers from each and every discipline have a title that understands them and that has been created specifically with them in mind - a journal that brings the world of quality professional image making directly to the professional, the advanced, the inquisitive and the passionate. Image making is now part of our every day lives. It is not simply a hobby or just a career.

The magazine also explores the narrow, deep channels that exist between stillness and movement, silence and sound, the art and "action". Hungry Eye's expert contributors discuss these divides without diluting artistic spirit. The magazine re-presents the work of those in documentary, fashion and art image-making and discusses the conception and production of music videos, short films and full-length movies with Hungry Eye's directors and DoPos.

Hungry Eye is also on hand to capture the formative experiences of distinctive image-makers and weigh-up the technological moments that have the potential to empower digital creativity. They aim to inform, inspire and illuminate the most pressing aesthetic issues photographers face today. Hungry Eye Magazine is produced and published by Life Media Group.

Since the launch of Hungry Eye in October 2011, Life Media Group has worked with specialist distributors to ensure the title is available in the specialist magazine and book channels. In late 2014, Hungry Eye appeared for the first time in 44 WHSmiths Travel stores. 2016 sees this number increased to 82 WH Smiths Travel stores, along with an increased presence in the gallery channel and also in selected Waterstones outlets. Hungry Eye can now be found in over 550 niche outlets including the Photographers Gallery, BFI Bookstore and Somerset House in the UK, as well as numerous outlets internationally. These include stores in Australia, Malaysia, France, Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Austria, Germany and all 650 branches of Barnes & Noble in the US. Also, around 170,000 copies are sold per issue along with over 5,000 UK based subscribers.
