Photography Monthly Magazine

There are many photography magazines to be found on the newsagent's shelves, many are quite specialised or aimed at a particular market and it can be difficult to choose one that's right for you.

Being a chap who likes to dabble in the world of photography I find this magazine very interesting and it is also a fair bit less expensive than many similar mag`s out there. I have been reading this magazine on a regular basis for just over eight months now and it has something in every issue to interest me.

I have been buying this magazine for around 18 months along with Digital Photo, and I think this is an all round great magazine. It's only £3.60, so compared with Digital Photo it's £1.39 cheaper, but still has great articles and features. The editor Will Cheung gets really involved in the whole magazine,and it has a really friendly feel about it. There is a feature where you get to rate one of Will's photos and the best comment wins a prize, and it doesn't have to be complimentary! The gallery is a great place where readers send their photos and explain a bit about why they took them and how they took them. The monthly challenge gives ...  Read the complete review
