“IF WE NEVER REMIND OURSELVES OF DIFFERENT WAYS OF DOING THINGS, THEN WE RISK LIMITING OUR OWN CREATIVITY”

Welcome to the latest issue of DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHER magazine. If you’re anything like me, you’ll feel that you get rather inured to certain techniques and approaches to photography over time.

If we never remind ourselves of different ways of doing things, then we risk limiting our own creativity.

In the feature that starts on p34 of the magazine, we’ve put together a guide to creative techniques that you can use to improve your work and expand your photographic range.

Whether you’re a fan of Photoshop, or prefer to master the image in-camera, we’ve got you covered this issue. Lovers of black and white photography will be pleased to discover that Lee Frost – a noted expert on all things monochrome – has written a feature on achieving the best possible results incamera. Head over to p48 to begin reading it.

We’ve also got a detailed guide on how to use your editing software to enhance the light in your images. Peter Eastway includes extensive image processing as a regular part of his workflow, and on p62 of the magazine he reveals some of his secrets, covering basic adjustments through to much more complex image manipulations.

As ever, we’ve got a fantastic mix of interviews, image galleries, product reviews and industry news for you to get your teeth into, and a compelling career guide exploring some key ways to make your business more efficient – and thus more profitable.

As always, we’d love to see some of your own images, so please upload them to our Facebook page at WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/DIGITALPHOTOGRAPHERUK.

Until next time, enjoy your photography!
