Thanks

Taking a quick look (knowing nothing about the magazine) it looks like standard London high fashion. What that is is turning fashion into theater. In the 90’s there were fashion shows with giant hoop skirts and ridicules bird costumes. I believe there was an all nude show once.

Just study all the magazine you might find in rich white ladies houses.

"commercial" covers a wide array of things including advertising and fashion.

My bad, I was relying on some old information on a program transfer to Cardiff.

PS I’m not going to Newport (where they do Documentary photography), because I live in Chepstow (about a 20 minute drive) and Newport, from my experience, is a pretty undesirable city. Gloucester also offer it, but again, it’s too close.

You might want to look into a photo journalism degree. If you are worried about proximity you might even want to check for online classes.

No, I haven’t. I hate when "ethics" runs wild and stops good photos from being made but that’s something I really hate. When they freeze frame Obama in the middle of saying "Minnesota" so it looks like he’s snarling then put up the text comparing health care to terrorism.

If anything I have a problem overly choosing good sides. I live in a small rural city and sometimes do work for the public affairs office of the university. The last job i got one of the prompts was "Diversity," underlined three times. As horrible as it might sound I’ve calculated the demographics that are likely to come to the college and pretty, thin, white, blond, girls or large muscular, confident men are who I focus on when making a brochure. My job is to get people here and if the rural people have a inherent racial bias I can’t put ethnic people in the brochure. That’s just the way it is. (I’m SE Asian myself).

However, that being said I think I would put people in the light that I need to in order to do my job. If I did Ann Coulter I would have done the low, dramatic pose to make her look menacing. I like the darkness, It looks like they lit her to make her less attractive, I might not have gone that far. I think there’s a fine line between telling your story and making one up. In this case making her more physically ugly crossed that line. She is mean and menacing, that’s what needs to come out in the photos. Weather that is because she’s a strong competitor for the right wing or just a bit– is something for the audience to decide, not the photographer.

By the way, I knew a guy who did a lot of editorials for Photographer’s Black Book in the mid 90’s– Is that periodical still being published today? Just curious…

If you are looking to be a professional, there are two that I recommend. They are "Rangefinder" and "Professional Photographer." I don’t think you’ll be able to find them at book stores, but you can find them online and get a subscription. "Rangefinder" has great articles which focus on the technical side of being a professional photographer and getting the best images. "Professional Photographer" has articles geared toward the business side of being a pro photographer. It is the official magazine of the Professional Photographers of America.

If you are not looking to be a professional, I recommend Popular Photography and Shutterbug. Other magazines that you can find at book stores focus on specific aspects, such as "Black and White Photographer," "Outdoor Photographer" and "Photoshop Techniques" and the like.
