Amateur Photographer is published every week and is the longest running photography magazine in the world. It would have to be accepted that photography as a hobby has passed its peak but there are still many thousands of enthusiasts and there is a market for cameras and associated products which is still worth £500m per year.

For the vast majority of people photography is too grand a title for what they do. For most people the mere recording of an image is sufficient. It provides a reminder of a place, a moment in time or an occasion. Equipment for most people is often bought for that basic functionality. There are however a significant minority for whom the content of the image is far less important than the composition and execution of achieving the image. Photography for these people is not just taking snaps but of taking photographs.
Amateur Photographer has had to move forward with the times now and this is reflected in the fact that now all images go through a chemical process to be developed but now many are likely to be produced digitally and printed through the use of a modern ink-jet printer.
