You will also find an exclusive feature on the fresh, challenging work from New Zealand’s best young photographers in the Canon EYEcon awards, and learn how not to bore your friends to death with dull GoPro footage in Mead Norton‘s action video tutorial.
Our beloved regulars also offer up some inspiring insights, including Chris McLennan‘s tour of New Zealand’s best kept landscape secretes, Jackie Ranken‘s use of double exposure in travel photography, Andy Belcher‘s heart-pounding rafting photography.
Plus our resident experts are on hand to help you master light, with Paul Petch looking at the fundamentals of location portraiture and Luke White laying down the many studio options available with a single light.
