Specta: Journal of Photography, Arts, and Media [E-ISSN 2615-0433 | P-ISSN 2614-347X] is a journal that aims to support and highlight the research and creative work of a growing and diverse community of academics, artists, and practitioners. With photography as a central focus, SPECTA provides a platform for exploring the evolving artistic practices, technical innovations, and conceptual developments within the medium. As photography continues to grow significantly - both as an art form and as a tool for cultural expression and documentation - it also raises important questions and discussions that deserve critical academic attention.

The journal encourages scholarly articles that not only examine photography from historical, aesthetic, and theoritical perspectives, but also consider its intersections with broader areas such as visual culture, media studies, and area studies. By bridging the worlds of photography, art, and interdisciplinary research, SPECTA contributes to a deeper understanding of how images shape and reflect contemporary society. Though photography is at the heart of the journal, submissions that explore related media and artistic practices are also welcome, creating a rich and dynamic space for dialogue across fields.

SPECTA is based at the Fakultas Seni Media Rekam, ISI Yogyakarta in collaboration with Asosiasi Program Studi Fotografi Indonesia (SOFIA) and Published biannually in May and November.

Specta is nationally accredited (rank 3) based on the Decree of the General Director of Higher Education, Research, and Technology of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia Number 177/E/KPT/2024.
