Black+White Photography Magazine August 2012 Back Issue

Whatever the weather, our August issue is a real summer bonanza! We look at the seduction of the picture postcard, learn how to master iphoneography at the seaside and Editor Elizabeth Roberts takes Jonathan Chritchley to a different sort of beach – how will he interpret the eerie Dungeness?

If the rain is dampening your creative spirit take inspiration from Eddie Ephraums’ guide to crafting a handmade portfolio photobook, increase your post-processing skills as Tim Clinch makes something from nothing in Lightroom, or shoot your first DSRL film following Tim Daly’s step by step guide.

We also talk to self-taught professional photographer Charlie Hopkinson about his many careers and the importance of not giving up, while fine art photographer Huntington Witherill (yes we want his name too!) takes to the Black+White Photography hot seat for a 60-second exposure.

On test this month, we review six of the best pinhole cameras and investigate whether Sony’s new mid-range camera, the NEX 7, has more to offer than its sensor.

All this plus, news, photography exhibitions, Building a Classic Library, American Connection, Colin Harding delves into the archives of the National Media Musuem and, of course, our favourite reader images.
