Photography for Beginners issue one hits the shelves

The new photo magazine from Imagine Publishing, targeted at beginner photographers and keen social network users, arrived on UK shelves this week.

“We’re so pleased with the reaction to Photography for Beginners – we’ve created a magazine that echoes the current trends in photography, and people are embracing that,” said Editor in Chief Debbi Allen. “The first issue is packed full of practical tips and techniques – from the best ways to shoot portraits and landscapes to removing red eye, straightening horizons and syncing your images to an iPad. And issue two looks set to be even better!”

Issue one of Photography for Beginners, which went on sale on 30 June, is accessible, inspirational and loaded with practical guides, says Imagine. Learn to shoot better images with the beginners guides, around the mode dial features and big projects. Perfect your photos with image editing workshops using Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, iPhoto, GIMP, the iPad and android apps. Discover the best sites to share your photos on. “Every issue of Photography for Beginners addresses all this, and more!”

Photography for Beginners boasts a hands-on teaching style, with projects that readers can follow along at home.

From 5 minute Photoshop techniques to photography projects that might take a little more time, Photography for Beginners claims to be the ultimate learning tool, no matter whether you shoot with a cameraphone, compact or system camera

Accompanying the new magazine is a brand-new tutorial based website, www.photoforbeginners.com. Mat Toor, head of digital at Imagine Publishing explained; “We’re plugging into the power of social networks like Twitter, Facebook and Flickr to make it incredibly easy for readers to share their photos and interact with the site and each other like never before.”
