Professional Photo Magazine Issue 197 Back Issue

We’ve got a stand-out interview with none other than the great Sebastião Salgado in this month’s issue, and Mick Cookson caught up with him at the opening of his epic Amazonia show at the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester. Book a free ticket off our page to go take a look! Salgado reveals the story behind what he sees as the most important project of his life, and tells how it took 48 trips to the region over a seven-year period to bring it all together.
We’re also catching up with Martina Wärenfeldt, fresh from sweeping the board with her atmospheric imagery at the recent SWPP Convention, and she’s telling us how she arrived at her classical style and how it became her dominant way of working during the pandemic. Also this month we’re talking to mobile filmmaker Cassius Rayner about the epic productions he’s shooting using a smartphone that could be the same as the one you have in your pocket, while we’re also kicking off two important new series in this issue. In Marketing Matters expert marketeer Alan Hutchison is talking about ways to free up your time so that you can focus more on growing your business, while we’re also going to be highlighting some of the most environmentally conscious professionals in the business in our new ‘Focusing on the Planet’ series, and we’re starting off by seeing how wildlife specialist George Benjamin is taking care to minimise his impact through a comprehensive series of green-aware initiatives.
Finally, our big review this month sees portrait specialist Andy Kruczek heading to the studio to try out Rotolight’s brand new line-up of lighting modifiers, including the innovative new Smartsoft Box, a variable electronic diffusion panel made possible through the use of cutting-edge technology. It’s our usual eclectic mix of brilliant stories, so dive in and take a look around!
