welcome
The world of professional photography is filled with images that confuse, mislead, challenge and, let’s be
honest, lie!
A photograph is no longer an irrefutable proof of fact and is more likely to be a representation of
a vision; if the creator of that vision wants to distort the facts they will. It has never been easier or cheaper to cheat,
manipulate or change so convincingly. Can we believe what we see? Do we owe it to the viewer to present facts
and admit the lengths to which we go to manipulate what we saw to what we wish we’d seen? Photoshop has become
a verb, commonly used by anyone looking at pictures which they cannot believe. This leaves each of us as
photographers to make our own pact with the retouching devil and feel comfortable with however far we decide to go
and how honest we will be when questioned. This month we address the world of post production, concentrating
on the perfection of fashion, beauty and celebrity but the same moral dilemmas apply to a bridal, still life,
interior, sports or reportage image; in fact any photograph. I asked
regular contributor Peter Silverton to bring this contentious issue into focus by speaking
to those on the frontline of retouching decisions.You can read his findings on
Page 80.
Our Post Production report continues with
Guy Gowan
answering your Photoshop
questions on
Page 46
and this month I share my inexperienced, upgrade adventure
in
I used to care but things have changed...
on
Page 41
as well as my experiences
shooting the Monaco and British Grands Prix in
Monte Carlo and bust!
on
Page 35.
This month’s cover photographer,
Regan Cameron,
is no stranger to
the world of high fashion, shooting covers for UK
Vogue
as well as for many
international fashion brands. His approach to working with these clients to create an
image of luxurious perfection is examined by Cass Chapman in
In Vogue
on
Page 86.
Another photographer working in the fashion world but creating her own
very distinct visual language is
Alice Hawkins
. This is her self-portrait,
but don’t judge her on that alone – read her interview with Alannah Sparks
in
Who the f**k is Alice?
on
Page 56
to find out what makes her tick
and why she is one of
Nick Knight’s
favourite photographers.
Each month I share my experiences with you on some of the pro
shoots I’ve been on, but there is no way I can compete with the
hectic schedule of food, still life, portrait, plant and lifestyle
photographer
David Loftus
. Check out his hand-written diary
to find out more in
Dear diary
on
Page 62.
We’re always happy to hear and learn from a voice from the
past and when it’s one as talented as
Barry Lategan
we’re
even happier. Hear him talking about his iconic beauty work
of the seventies in
Back to the Future
on
Page 72.
If you love what we do each month make sure you check out
this month’s great value subscription offer on
Page 50.
I’m running out of space, so it’s time to extend the
background and drop in my signature. But don’t worry, we
only deal with non-destructive layers!
