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.

We are coming into very early autumn so it’s a good time to be brushing up macro skills – top macro shooter Courtney Victoria shares her secrets. Three photographers also show different approaches to architecture. It’s getting darker earlier too, so Brian Lloyd Duckett gives a masterclass on street photography at night. Nostalgia fans will also love Paul Hill’s recollection of the first photography workshop in the 70s. Hardware wise, we celebrate a century of Zeiss, and review an important new camera release – the Canon EOS R6 V. Tamron’s new 16-30mm f/2.8 zoom is also on test and we mark the latest round of Amateur Photographer of the Year, on people shots.
