It may seem like a niche area but flower photography is a genre that tests all of your skills, from complex lighting to tricky compositions and colour control. In our first feature in this issue, we explore the key techniques you can use to capture stunning flower portraits, using both household lighting and flash. In the process, you'll learn essential techniques you can apply in almost every type of professional photography, honing your studio skills and finding innovative ways to capture detailed images.

Starting with kit advice, discover how to capture iconic landmarks with a fresh but also creative approach and talk about how you can earn money once back at home. Also, Bella gives us an exclusive interview about her mesmerising travel stories and discusses the most challenging aspects of travel photography.

Starting on page 14, join qualified landscape architect and photographer Andrew Haggar on a day in the beautiful natural scenery of Cumbria. Haggar has devised an innovative long-form project, photographing an area of one square kilometre and capturing it regularly over several years. 

He says, “The idea is to explore your space in depth through repeated visits.” Haggar also offers insight into his kitbag and gives advice on how to start your own MySqK project.
