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!
Master minimalism
Time waits for nobody, as the saying goes, and no sooner have we headed out to capture the tones of autumn, pumpkin spiced latte in hand, that we’re looking at winter on the horizon. In anticipation of the season of sparse detail, we’ve put together a feature on minimalist photography just for you.
From p24, you’ll learn how to capture eye-catching scenes in either artful black and white or abstract colour. It’s incredible what negative space can do for the impact of your shots, so be sure to dive in ahead of the first snow of the year.
AI: what you need to know to protect your images
On the topic of change and progress, we have two features this month that explore different sides of a contemporary challenge for photographers – AI. It’s critical that we all take steps to protect our images from unwanted usage by AI generators, so first see our Career Feature on p66, which will explain how you can safeguard your hard work. It's an important theme in the modern age of digital technology so, you won't want to miss this one.
...but, AI isn't all bad
Conversely, our Creative Project demonstrates the potential AI engines have for pushing the creative process, enabling incredible backgrounds to be created without the need for location budgets and extensive travel. Popular online photography educator, Serge Ramelli explains how to use AI generators like Midjourney to craft unique environments for your photoshoots. He then explores how to light and compose your images and seamlessly blend your subject into your new AI backgrounds.
Capture the magic of newborn photography
For our Shoot Like a Pro feature, we joined newborn baby photographer Louise B on one of her photoshoots, to discover how to manage the responsibility of capturing infants at a special time of their lives. There’s a lot more to photographing children than you might think, so read Louise’s advice to find out how to plan everything from lighting to outfits, for a safe and enjoyable shoot for both baby and the proud parents.
The storm chaser
Want to try something new? Why not give storm-chasing a go? That’s what storm photographer Paige Vincent did a number of years ago and now she is an internationally renowned expert in this area. Turn to our interview with her on p76 to read her thrilling story of how she finds and photographs extreme weather, working against the clock and the elements to capture stunning and dramatic images.
