A few months ago I was contacted by Photography Monthly magazine and asked if I wanted to join their team of "Masters" to contribute some technique examples to their re-vamped publication. Of course I said "yes" and then promptly forgot all about it until the deputy editor rang me and asked for my first contribution. This was about a month before the deadline and I hatched a plan to do a picture that I had been thinking of for quite a while.

 
   
     
   
 

The result was a really fun shoot and a five page spread in the January Issue of Photography Monthly. The idea behind the picture is that it is a portrait of my nephew who plays golf - a lot of very good golf - on the beach near his home in Bournemouth at dusk with plenty of creative lighting.

If you want to know the full details of the pictures, you are going to have to buy a copy of the magazine but I'm sure that you can imagine what the article is like. The magazine have recruited 14 photographers as masters including Ian Berry and John Swannell and I hope to be contributing two or three pieces a year for the series. This is a new departure for me and I'd be really interested to hear from anyone who sees the piece about their opinion on how it is written and about the usefulness of this kind of in depth explanation.

 
If you are in the UK and can get to a decent newsagents, the cover looks like this (no it's not one of mine).
