Is the subscription access to the full archive?
No. Reading Room is a slow, fair library. Each month of membership unlocks one Photography Atlas issue, so your personal archive grows with the length of your subscription.
Questions
FAQ
A practical reference for memberships, issue credits, printed objects and checkout. The language is intentionally plain: you should know exactly what you are buying before subscribing.
Membership
Issue credits
How do issue credits work?
Each active month gives you one issue credit. If a new issue is released that month, your credit unlocks the new issue first. If there is no new release, you can use the credit for an older issue from the archive.
What happens with special issues?
Special issues count as the monthly release for active members during the month they are published. Older special issues can be bought separately or unlocked later with issue credits.
Do I keep the issues if I cancel?
Yes. Issues already unlocked and delivered to you are yours to keep. Cancelling only stops future issue credits, postcards, prints and member benefits.
Can I unlock extra issues?
Yes. Extra digital issues can be bought separately in the shop. Reading Room members receive a discount on additional digital issues.
Postcards and prints
Physical editions
What is included in Correspondence Europe?
Reading Room access plus one A6 photographic postcard each month, handwritten, stamped in Spain and sent within Europe. Ordinary European postage is included.
What is included in Correspondence Worldwide?
Reading Room access plus one A6 photographic postcard each month, handwritten, stamped in Spain and sent outside Europe. Ordinary international postage is included.
Are postcards tracked?
No. Postcards are sent by ordinary stamped mail. This keeps the tier affordable and preserves the feeling of receiving real correspondence rather than a parcel.
Can any message be written on a postcard?
No. Postcard greetings are reviewed before they are handwritten. Offensive, hateful, threatening, discriminatory, harassing, explicit, illegal, doxxing or otherwise harmful messages will not be written or sent. If a message cannot be sent, you will be asked for a replacement text or an appropriate fulfilment adjustment.
What is included in Print Room?
Reading Room access plus one A6 open-edition print of your choice each month from the shop collections. If you prefer A5, you can upgrade by paying the difference.
How do I choose my monthly print?
Each month you receive a selection link or form. You choose the collection, photograph and format. If no choice is received before the monthly deadline, a print may be selected for you from the current collections.
What is included in Collector's Table?
Reading Room access, one monthly handwritten postcard to any address, one monthly A6 or A5 shop print sent to your home, one poster after every fourth paid month and the highest subscriber discount on shop releases.
Are prints framed?
No. Prints are sent unframed. They are prepared as small paper objects, usually with a white border when the photograph needs room to breathe.
When are physical editions sent?
Postcards and monthly home prints are usually prepared and sent once per month from Spain. Collector posters are prepared after every fourth paid month.
What if I move or change address?
Update your address before the monthly fulfilment deadline. Items sent to an old or incorrect address cannot always be replaced.
Shop
One-time buying
Can I buy a single issue without subscribing?
Yes. Digital and printed copies of individual Photography Atlas issues live in the shop, separate from the subscription.
Can I buy the full archive?
A Photography Atlas Archive Pack may be added later as a separate shop product. That keeps the base membership fair while giving late readers a way to catch up.
Can I buy prints without subscribing?
Yes. Prints, posters and postcard sets can be bought separately in the shop. Subscriptions are for recurring access, correspondence and monthly editions.
Checkout and support
Payment and help
How does checkout work?
Payments run through Stripe Checkout. Stripe handles secure card payment, invoices and subscription billing. You can subscribe from the website and complete payment on Stripe's secure checkout page.
Can I cancel?
Yes. You can cancel your subscription. Cancelling stops future renewals and future monthly fulfilment, but does not remove issues you have already unlocked.
What if an item arrives damaged?
Send a photo of the packaging and the damaged item to hello@dnomadphoto.com. For physical editions, a replacement or refund can be arranged depending on availability.
What if a postcard never arrives?
Ordinary stamped postcards are not tracked and can occasionally be delayed or lost. If repeated delivery problems happen, the address can be reviewed or the physical tier can be adjusted.
