Calling all monochrome photographers… July sees the launch of the Black+White Photographer of the Year and this time you have the chance to win Leica’s sensational new black and white camera, worth £8,000!

Get your competitive streak going with classic Olympic shots from acclaimed photographer Eamonn McCabe, go on a monochrome adventure with Lee Frost’s stunning images of Namibia and immerse yourself in Martin Bogren’s powerful photographs of his Swedish home town.

From Hollywood to Belfast, first assistant film director and photographer Gerry Gavigan talks to us about his intriguing new photographic project and it’s unlikely connections to his ‘real’ job. Take inspiration from Gavigan and technique tips from Tim Daly with his step by step guide to shooting better video with your DSLR.

We put pro photographer Paul Debois in the hot seat with our quick fire questions, re-live the heyday of commercial beach photography and go stateside in search of the late James Fee’s haunting images. And, please give a warm welcome to our new series, Making a Photobook, with Eddie Ephraums – don’t worry, we’re starting simple with a timeless foldout book.

On test this month, we compare six of the best tablet computers for photographers and put a much-anticipated new semi-pro camera from Sony through its paces. Has it been worth the wait?
