The mission of the photography magazine FILTER is to discuss the effect of photography on our daily lives: on our ways of thinking, of creating history and politics, of constructing a society and undertaking scientific research, of being creative and producing art.

Through in-depth articles, critical commentary, essays, reportage, portraits, reviews and extensive photographic content, FILTER exposes and discusses the innumerable forms and meanings of photography.

Filter for fotografi has a broad approach to photography and includes amateur photography, art photography, scientific photography, photojournalism, fashion etc.

The first issue came out in November 2007, presenting photographers such as Loretta Lux, Shoichi Aoki and Mari Slaatelid and discussing the theme ‘PHOTOGENIC’ through articles on fashion photography, military snapshots from the Iraq war, digitalization, Kate Moss etc.
The second issue, revolving around the theme 'PHOTOGRAPHIC SPACE' came out in June 2008 and included articles on Candida Höfer, Thomas Ruff as well as articles on the genre of the tourist snap shot and colonial photography. The third issue, on 'NORMALITY', presented photographers such as Pyuupiru, Roni Horn, and Catherine Opie. The current issue 'DISAPPEARANCES' focuses on the decomposition of photographs as physical objects and the challenge this generates for conservators and archivist, as well as disappearances as subject matter for a large number of photographers including Sophie Calle, Marie Sjøvold, Torben Eskerod, Marcelo Brodskyand Kyongwoo Chun.
