QUICK SNAPS • SEVEN AUSTRALIAN PHOTOGRAPHERS RECOGNISED IN PORTRAIT OF HUMANITY 2020 SHORTLIST

GET BETTER! • How can you improve your photography? And more importantly, how can you reach your creative goals?

YOUR BEST SHOT • Food, glorious food! It may be our number-two hobby (after photography, of course) but that’s not to say photographing food is at all easy. Just like the perfect pasta, the key to good food photography is not to overcook it. Here are our favourite images this month.

HOW TO ENTER • YOUR BEST SHOT IS OPEN TO AP SUBSCRIBERS AND APS MEMBERS. TO ENTER AN IMAGE IN THE COMP, CHECK THE COMPETITION THEMES AND INSTRUCTIONS BELOW AND EMAIL YOUR BEST IMAGE TO YOURBESTSHOT@AUSTRALIANPHOTOGRAPHY.COM

ANIMAL ATTRACTION • The route to wildlife portraits that stand out head and shoulders from the pack is easier than you think if you follow these simple guidelines.

THE ART OF SIMPLICITY: A FOCUS ON COMPOSITION • Composition is a skill that challenges even seasoned photographers. Here are some ideas for breaking away from the rule of thirds and drawing your viewer right into your frame.

HAPPY SNAPPERS • Dedicated photography TV show Snap Happy returns for its sixth season later this year, but first there’s a dedicated COVID-19 special to check out. We speak to series producer Tim Robinson about the story behind the hit show.

DECONSTRUCTING LIGHT • Light is a critical element to any image, and having an understanding of how it falls on your subject will not only improve your ability to read the light in a scene, but also take better images.

FUJIFILM X-T4 • As the fourth iteration of Fujifilm’s X-T series of cameras, the X-T4 takes the X-T3 and further polishes what was already an impressive unit. Sam Edmonds takes it for a spin around the streets and suburbs of Sydney.

NEW HORIZONS • The opportunity to take images in India last year was one not to be missed for this photographer.

OF ANGLES AND ESSENTIALS • What, at first glance, appears to be a simple image presented a number of challenges to capture accurately.

IMAGE DOCTOR • Images need a pick-me-up? The doctor will see you now.
