This month we have another amazing issue for you, featuring professional tips, reviews, and practical how-to guides. Here's a sneak peek of what's inside!
Shoot fairytale macro photos brimming with detail and colour
Macro photography is a truly magical medium. It allows us to see the world in a completely new way, revealing details we never knew existed. In our main feature this month, we’re joined by two expert instructors, Ross Hoddinott and Catherine Régnier, who explain how to find and photograph closeup subjects creatively. Find out how to craft the perfect background for your macro studies, develop new lighting techniques and master the delicate art of fieldcraft.
In our second feature of the issue, we delve into the world of lenses, in particular, how to shoot using a single optic. It’s easy to think that buying more lenses is a route to better images, however, this isn’t always practical and if you’re on a budget it might not be possible. Discover how our guest professional photographers choose and use their lenses to their maximum capacity, learning to get the most value from any type. Save money and get better shots with improved composition in the process.
Our Shoot Like a Pro feature in this issue is an exciting one. We joined photographer, Jon Parker Lee for an industrial commercial shoot in a quarry in the Peak District to learn how he manages complex briefs, directs large shoots and works in potentially high-risk locations. The pressure is on to capture the essential images for his client, with millions of pounds and many livelihoods at stake, so come along and go behind the scenes of this fascinating photoshoot.

In our creative project, we reveal how a speedlight can be the perfect tool for adding colour and detail to your scenic shots and can even apply a stunning sunset effect to your photos. Fill in the shadows, add sparkle to foregrounds and even add sunlight to your scenic shots!
