About Hotshoe International
Hotshoe International Ltd comprises Hotshoe magazine, Hotshoe Gallery in London and our publishing arm, Hotshoe Books.
Hotshoe is the UK’s leading independent contemporary photographic magazine showcasing the best of established and up-and-coming talent across a wide range of photographic genres. Its informative and incisive comment is complemented by extensive information on what is happening and what is new in the international world of contemporary photography. HotShoe is published bi-monthly with six issues a year Feb/March, April/May, June/July, Aug/Sept, Oct/Nov, Dec/Jan. The content of Hotshoe reflects the interest of its readership.
Established over 30 years ago, HotShoe is edited by Melissa DeWitt who has overseen significant design and content changes. In October 2010, the magazine went to a larger format (285mm x 215mm), and was redesigned with Sarah Boris, a leading graphic design artist specialising in photography and art whose clients include the ICA and the Royal College of Art, London.
In 2008, Hotshoe opened an editorial office in New York and started North American distribution. This development has reaffirmed Hotshoe’s longstanding market position as the magazine of choice for individuals and businesses with an interest in contemporary photography both in Europe, and now in the US. The content of each printed magazine are available online at www.hotshoeinternational.com.

Product reviews and updates, covering the full gamut of traditional and digital technologies, are included in Hot Gear with awards and prizes featuring in HotAwards. At the back of the magazine, an extensive Listings section covers international shows, photography festivals and fairs.
