The bible for both amateur and professional photo-enthusiasts around the world.

Amateur Photographer is the world’s oldest weekly photographic magazine, established in 1884. It is the respected authority for news and reviews, with detailed tests and investigations on the latest equipment.

The weekly contents include interviews and columns from many of the world’s leading photographers and practical technique to inspire and enthuse the devoted readership, to whom taking photos is far more than just a hobby. Essential reading for those interested in buying photographic equipment or wanting advice about improving their picture taking.

Long-term projects are a great way to stay motivated, and this week we talk to Beckie Burr, who travels the UK and beyond to document ancient stone sites, and Simon Buckley, who gets up before dawn to document his home city, Manchester. Plus we share a selection of images from President Trump’s return to the White House. We also test the Honor Magic8 Pro and two lenses aimed at users on a budget: Canon’s 200-800, for wildlife and sports shooters, and a cheap-as-chips portrait lens from Viltrox
