Black+White Photography Magazine November 2011 Retour à l'édition précédente

November’s Black+White is packed with stunning monochrome photographs, advice on technique, and enlightening reviews and interviews.

In our features section acclaimed photographer John Blakemore reflects on the images that document his long career, while Jonathan Critchley battles with the elements in a bid to capture the majesty of the Tall Ships Race. Fine art printer and film devotee Robin Bell is the subject of a new documentary film by Richard Dunkley so we caught up with the man himself to see why digital can never replace the magic the darkroom. Plus, Susan Bernstine reports on a series of moving images, by Alen MacWeeney, portraying the lives of Irish travellers that are finally being published in book form after nearly forty years.

Deserving of a special mention is our new series, A fortnight at F/8. In this exciting new feature we get acquainted with freelance photographer Tim Clinch, he’s a character by the way! We look forward to sharing his insights from behind the lens with you in the coming months.

This issue in our review section, Ross Hoddinott puts the Nikon D5100 through its paces, we give you the lowdown on all the latest camera gear, and highlight six of the best light tents and tables for your money.

Once again Lee Frost and Tim Daly continue on their quest to make us all better and more inventive photographers as Frost explains how to create a digital montage, while Daly reveals the secrets of the Medium Format Holga.

Don’t worry we haven’t forgotten about the regulars that you know and love. Newsroom, In the Frame, American Connection, Readers’ Pictures and Assignment are all present and correct and waiting to inspire you.

All this plus the much anticipated results of our Black+White Photographer of the Year competition in a gorgeous supplement. Phew, it’s a been a busy month but a fun one and we hope you enjoy reading the magazine as much as we enjoyed making it.
