Best photo magazine to learn tips & tricks

Recommended Posts

I have been doing SLR photography at an amatuer level for 8 years, but now

looking to become a professional. Although I'm definitely not a beginner - I

am also definitely not a professional, and there is still quite a bit I need

to learn about digital photography (had film until last year), lighting,

flash, etc. Can anyone recommend some good resources (books, sites, magazines)

for someone at my level? I am especially interested in magazines to subscibe

to as the web is a bit overwhelming and books are more expensive.

 

I'm looking to get into any photography having to do with people... wedding,

fashion, event, etc.

 

Thank you so much for your help!

hi there

perhaps you are a lot more experienced than i am. after looking through the magazine racks here in UK i have found PRACTICAL PHOTOGRAPHY to be the most useful. it does have a very simple approach and caters for beginners to intermediates.

i believe there is a website as well which you might find doing a google search.

best regards

puck

If you're on speaking terms with Photoshop, one of the best magazines is <i>Photoshop

User</i> magazine. You can buy it at the newsstands, and it comes along with a

membership in the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP). You don't have

to be a professional to belong. Another recommend is <i>Shutterbug</i>.

the best photo magazines are ones that do not give you tips as such - IMHO - but make you think differently about photography. The best of this genre is Lenswork. Highly recommended -- you will get some technical information, particularly in the interviews of profiled photographers -- but the most important things to learn are not technical at all!

Experience is always the best teacher, so while you are reading the resources described above, do remember that a huge advantage of digital photography is the opportunity to see your shots right away, and to learn on the spot (or very soon after). Plus you can just delete your mistakes, so do be proactive in teaching yourself what the magazines advise and suggest. Good luck in going pro.
