What they say about us:
Underdogs:
“The light observer, true to its name, worships the light in its various manifestations”
MagCulture:
“To wrap up, reading The Light Observer is an emotive and liberally visual experience”
Stack:
“The power of light: [...] to devote a magazine to light is to devote a magazine to sight itself.”
Fotografia Europea:
“È attraverso la luce che nella rivista si indaga in modo poetico e sensibile la molteplicità e la ricchezza del mondo.”
Frab’s:
“Not only dedicated to photography or cinema, as one might mistakenly think, this unique magazine talks about light at 360° through articles and in-depth interviews”
