Magazine review

The magazine that I browsed through was "Click"(nov/dec 2014), a magazine intended to inspire women photographers. This magazine is a very useful tool for many professionals and even beginner photographers. It provides its readers lots of inspiration and even advice to get to their desired level.

The magazine includes photo essays, before and afters of image production in Lightroom, advice from professional photographers and even lots of equipment ads that are relevant to the profession. I would definitely purchase this magazine off of the shelf and my favorite sections were the photo essays with detailed descriptions by the photographers. This magazine is full of beautiful images that desire and motivate the reader to become a better shooter. I believe this magazine targets many different types of photography to appeal to many different kinds of shooters. There's landscape, portrait, macro, creative, etc.

The one thing I noticed is that there's not a lot of sport or movement photography. I am okay with that absence because I am not focused on that type of photography anyway. I love the different portraits in the magazine because that's the section in photography that I am inclining towards.

In conclusion, this magazine is very impressive and I really am intrigued to read more issues. The content in the publication is very unique and I give it 4/5 stars. The images presented in this magazine are beautiful and that's what I love the most about it.

Sirli Raitma is a self taught photographer who is known for her landscape work. Raitmas work is very dark and mysterious and that is what attracted me to her work. There's a lot of fog in her images and it's very beautiful. I couldnt find the kind of equipment she uses because those websites are blocked by AISD but I am guessing that she uses a very wide lens because of the broad shots that she produces.
