welcome

february

It’s the second month in a new year and a new decade, but some things never

change. We’ve all just had to make sure that our tax returns have been

completed, we’re thinking about how to get new clients (and keep the ones

we have!) and are looking forward to the technological developments that

the coming year will bring to help us progress our work.

Ensuring your tax returns are completed correctly and then delivered on time is

an annual headache for many photographers, and especially those who work as

independents on a freelance basis. The reasons why you need an accountant and

understanding how one could help often seems like a black art that no one is willing to explain. Well we are,

and whatever your current financial position, you cannot afford not to read our easy-to-understand guide to tax

and accounting It Doesn’t Have To Be That Taxing... on page 52.

When it comes to getting new clients, it always starts with your book/portfolio. Even in this world of websites,

most clients want to see a well printed and presented set of images. Regular contributor Clive Booth decided it

was time to start work on a new book at the end of last year, and he brings us his tips, advice and experiences in a

Dispatches special Me, Myself, I! on page 58.

Two photographers working in very different fields, Bob Martin and Nigel Parry certainly know how to win

and keep clients. Bob is the only non US-based photographer in the world shooting for the prestigious US

title Sports Illustrated . He speaks to us about his career and how to capture the decisive sporting moment in

This Sporting Life on page 46. Nigel Parry left London in the early nineties to live

and work in New York and hasn’t looked back. Now, as one of the leading

portrait photographers in the world, he speaks to us about the need for

consistency and nervousness in An Englishman in New York on

page 72. Someone at the other end of the career spectrum is young

wedding photographer Kevin Mullins, who shares his experiences of his

first year in the business on page 37 in First Year Report.

If you’re thinking of moving into the world of fine art, auctions and galleries,

there are no better people to hear from than the people to whom we asked

the question: Who Buys Photography? on page 66. We also speak to the

director of The Photographers’ Gallery in London Brett Rogers

about the best ways to get exhibited in Frontline on page 29.

As far as technology is concerned, you can’t get

much more cutting edge than the use of CGI in photography.

It’s being used a lot in car photography, but who knows

where it’s going next? Check out the work currently being

created in Drive-By Shooting on page 79. We also put

the Leica M9 into the hands of Magnum legend Ian Berry

for review. All this, plus editing tips , Bruce Weber and

Guy Gowan. Surely that’s enough to make your day!
