Amateur Photographer

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.

What is ‘British photography’? Is it about the colour of the photographer’s passport or more about their sharp insight into British culture? How are we regarded across the Channel? Peter Dench went to find out when he, Martin Parr, Don McCullin and others, were invited to participate in an exhibition in France dedicated in part to British photography. Also, we look at DxO PureRAW; we test the Panasonic Lumix S1IIE; test the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE; and we visit the cowboys of the American West
