Editor's Letter - 16 May 2013

Editor Photo

Hello Photo

A well-shot portrait can tell you so much about its subject. Whether you're shooting friends, family or the rich and famous, our interview with Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Brian Smith in the latest issue of the magazine is packed with fantastic advice that will help you achieve great shots. And he has a great story about how the great and the good are just as prone to getting starstruck as the rest of us...

Of course, if you're not fussed about either celebs or portraits and prefer the great outdoors, we've got plenty of other content in this issue for you. Learn how you can unleash the power of panoramas to create incredible landscape shots. Get tips on product photography from Karl Taylor - who is also offering you the chance to win a free photography workshop - and wildlife shooting tips from Paul Joynson-Hicks MBE. You'll find all that and much more in issue 135 of Digital Photographer.

Once you've followed some of our pro advice and inspirational guides, why not collate your shots into a photo book from our sponsors Blurb? They're offering an amazing discount just for you!

Enjoy the issue,

April Madden, Editor
