First issued in 1894, Das Atelier des Photographen became one of the most influential German-language photography journals of the early 20th century. Edited by F. Matthies-Masuren and Dr. Adolf Miethe, it combined high-quality photographic plates with substantive articles on studio practice, new photographic techniques, and advances in reproduction processes. Each issue was structured in three sections: stand alone images, a magazine section featuring essays and reviews, and a “Photographische Chronik” that reported on industry news and developments. Between 1904 and 1910, the magazine appeared under the expanded title Das Atelier des Photographen und Allgemeine Photographen-Zeitung. From 1928, it merged with Deutsche photographische Kunst and served as the official organ of the Gesellschaft Deutscher Lichtbildner and the Süddeutscher Photographen-Verein. The periodical continued at least until 1932. Matthies-Masuren was also an editor of German publications such as Photographische Rundschau and Photographisches Centralblatt where he supported and advanced pictorialism. [1]
