I present a determination of the photon PDF from a fit to the recent ATLAS measurements of high-mass Drell-Yan lepton-pair production at √(s) = 8 TeV. This analysis is based on the \tt xFitter framework interfaced to the \tt APFEL program, that accounts for NLO QED effects, and to the \tt aMCfast code to account for the photon-initiated contributions within \tt MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. The result is compared with other recent determinations of the photon PDF finding a general good agreement.
