PHOTO 100% NIKON 100% INDEPENDENT

A year on from its triumphant debut, the second edition of The Photography Show is finally here, and 2015’s installment promises to be bigger and better than ever. Where else can you meet – and be inspired by – so many of the world’s leading photographers in the space of a single weekend? From Martin Parr to Mary Ellen Mark, the line-up of speakers on this year’s Super Stage reads like a Who’s Who of 20th-century photography.

And if you can’t make it to the show, or just can’t wait, then allow us to bring some of the stars of the show to you: Geoff Harris’s poignant interview with

legendary photojournalist Don McCullin, whose Nikon F famously stopped a bullet in Cambodia, is a truly compelling read, while Lynsey Addario’s harrowing but ultimately moving account of the story behind her best shot will leave you humbled and inspired in equal measure.

On a lighter – but no less inspiring – note, this issue’s Lightbox boasts the world’s very

best flower and garden images, while our fantastic feature on focusing shows you how to nail pin-sharp shots every time.

Plus we have our usual mix of creative projects in this issue’s Skills Zone, from adding some sparkle to family portraits to creating a comic book hero. Enjoy!
