1:1 is a not exclusive group of photographers interested in photographic art. In this group there is no head or control, no rules, no regular meetings, no adscription to photographic, artistic, politic or any other school or trend.

We, the member of this group, have different social and geographic backgrounds, a broad scope of ages; both sexes are equally represented, some of us there make a living on photography and others live for the sake of it, with many possibilities in between. Different styles are to be found among us, as well as diverse technical choices, from pinhole cameras to the most advanced digital technologies.

This diversity fosters the expressive and intuitive capability of each of the members of the group and develops the necessary critical abilities necessary that help appreciate the work from other colleagues. We got to know each other in Internet, first by taking part in online forums like Photo net, Foto si and others. Afterwards we met in Madrid, where we did some activities and projects together.

This magazine is our most ambitious project at the moment. We want it to be a platform for the diffusion and knowledge of nowadays photography and attempts to become a portal for forms, expressions and discussions that will appear in the future. With an inclusive spirit 1:1 receives and publish works produced by photographers considering the extensive and rich variety from different cultural and geographical traditions. We are interested too in reflections by photographers, critics and thinkers on photographic art.

This is the origin of this magazine. It reflects the group that originates it and its interest, passion (and pleasure) for an activity that has shaped – from inside and from outside- not only the forms of contemporary art but, thanks to the technological advance of last years, provoked a redefinition of many functions of photography, art and culture.
