The latest issue of Australian Photography + digital magazine is on newsstands and in the iTunes store now. This month, three photographers explain how shooting for charity has its own rewards, we meet a photographer who travels the country shooting extraordinary images of everyday Australians, we share some fantastic tips to help you take your image-making skills to the next level and we get the low-down on flash photography techniques.

In the November edition of Australian Photography + digital magazine we look at the work of travelling photographer Darren Clark, who has made it his mission in life to record every aspect of our Australian experience. Clark has images stored in the collections of every major state and territory library from his travels around the country (both city and bush).

He tells our writer Marc Gafen that his dramatic change of career (he worked as a motor body trimmer before switching to photography) has turned into a lifetime obsession about recording the habits and customs of ordinary Australians for future generations.

We also look at the pro bono work of three professional shooters who sometimes donate their images to causes close to their heart. From shooting in hospital wards to visiting African villagers these photographers talk to Rob Ditessa about the particular causes which they feel drawn to assist. It’s interesting to note that while they supply their images for free, these shooters also believe they gain substantial rewards in other ways by tackling these challenging (and sometimes time-consuming) assignments.

Recent AIPP documentary photography award winner Anthony McKee also writes from a different angle about the process of maturing as a photographer, and how hard-won experience can bring a change in attitude and approach to the craft.

Post-production expert Mark Galer looks at the dangers to your image in printing when those dreaded clipping highlight warnings rear their ugly heads in your software, and then outlines the steps you need to take to correct the problem.

And to round things off, we have a story from correspondent Theo Allofs about photographing a mysterious natural phenomenon in Africa’s Namib Desert, and a full round-up of the capabilities of the sensational new Nikon D810 full-frame SLR.

You’ll find lots more tips and advice in this month’s issue of Australian Photography + digital magazine, so don’t miss it in the newsstands. It’s out now in newsagencies, on iPad and via subscription.
