Photo is a French publication for men that centers on photography and erotica. Initially released by Hachette Filipacchi Médias, it is now under the ownership of EPMA.

History and profile

Established in 1967 by Hachette Filipacchi Médias, Photo began as a monthly magazine inspired by the American men's magazine American Photo. Currently issued ten times annually, the magazine prioritizes the artistic aspects of photography rather than focusing on technical specifications. Its editorial focus is divided into three main segments: fashion, nude, and glamour photography; historical photographs portraying themes such as war and poverty; and a curated selection of international news images. With a global audience and distribution network, the magazine is recognized for showcasing nude models, striking graphic visuals, and hosting an annual amateur photography competition. The title was sold by Hachette Filipacchi in 2011.

From 1973 to 1978, an American version named Photo World was available.
