Get the best from your lenses

Use focal length to improve your shots with this huge guide to the five main lens types and how you can harness your lenses’ full potential. From ultra wide-angles to super telephotos, this is essential reading for every enthusiast.

Creative macro shots

See the world in a whole new way with this trio of fun small-scale photo projects. We’ll show you how to identify a subject, set the scene and select the best camera settings for each.

Dare you enter… the Red Market

Thomas Kast is an award-winning documentary photographer. He’s also a strict vegetarian, which is why Macao’s ominously named ‘fresh food’ emporium proved a challenge on every level.

Know your stuff

Deliberate lens flair, blurry backgrounds, and full-frame lenses on APS-C cameras are just three of the many reader questions we answer in this fascinating Q&A lens special.

Flash know-how

It’s time to take your flashgun off the hotshoe, as we explain the joys of creative off-camera flash and how you can use it to vastly improve your lighting when shooting portraits.

The edit

Create artistic pet portraits by adding interesting overlays, reduce noise with three simple editing techniques, and use our free raindrop overlay to fake a winter window effect.

Get into gear

Canon’s new 32.5MP 90D and M6 MkIII go head to head, while we review the Sony A7R IV, Fujifilm X-Pro3, Nikon Z 50 and Canon M200. It’s a bumper issue for new cameras!

Important news!

Due to overwhelming customer feedback and our commitment to reducing unnecessary packaging, subscription copies of Practical Photography will feature a download link only for access to all multimedia content, and not a CD.
This change will take effect from this issue.
