Amateur Photographer

December 9 2025 The long-delayed Sony A7 V is finally here. Andy Westlake takes a first look to see if it was worth the wait. He also tests Sony’s flagship full-frame compact RX1R III to see if it’s worth the eye-watering price tag. Our big feature profiles the work of late US fashion photographer Rodney Smith, a name that is not as well known as it deserves to be. Don’t forget, a ticket for our next Festival of Photography would make a great Christmas gift. See inside for details! Plus, we talk to CreativeSoul Photography about their amazing fantasy child portraiture

I've been reading on and off since 1964 when I picked it up at a seller's stall in Aden. In my opinion, it is the most enjoyable and educational magazine available for the amateur photographer. Reviewed 08 July 2023
