Hintology

Hintology

Magazine of Abstract Photography

Currently on hiatus

Issue #3 was cancelled and Hintology is on hiatus.

Both printed issues are still available to order below, and you can reach us anytime.

Hintology started online, championing abstract photographers through interviews and curated work, then grew into printed editions made to break the conventions of the art book.

We treat abstraction as a gradient: work that takes apart objective reality on purpose, leans into subjectivity, or questions the medium through experimentation. Semi-abstract and figurative work is welcome too, when it is approached with originality.

When We Return

Submissions

Hintology is open to photographers, writers, and graphic designers. Submitting is free, up to ten works per category. We look for aesthetic quality, storytelling, emotional impact, and work that fits the theme.

Submissions are paused during the hiatus. Tell us you are interested and we will reach out when the next call opens.

Collaborate

We are always looking for curators to form an editorial core: visual artists with an eye for a specialization, from minimalism to microscopy, plus help with interviews, translation, design, and social.

Every contribution is credited. If you are interested, write to us.
