Better Off Zine is a photo art publication in a printed format that started at the beginning of 2021. It is based in Sacramento, California and ran by Travis Cannady.
Better Off Zine features work from a different photographer in each issue. The goal of these zines are to give an opportunity for photographers in this ever-growing film community to share their work and to make it accessible to as many people as possible.
Travis Cannady formats and designs each issue. Let's take a look at the four zines we will now have in stock at The Newsstand...
