Issue 86

This issue’s cover photographer is Nando Azevedo who photographs former refugees to help them overcome challenges and rebuild their pride. We learn from NZIPP Photographer of the Year Tony Carter what motivates him to propel his craft forward, Esther Bunning tells us how switching her focus to horses has helped to reinvigorate her photography, and artist Fiona Pardington interrogates the space between the living and the dead in her occult-informed new series. In our How To features, three noted photo-book authors explain how they sequence their photographs, Ian Rotherham talks us through how simple set-up changes can hugely influence the feeling of a portrait, and digital artist Gee Greenslade gives us some tips for bringing photos to life in Photoshop.
