Amateur Photographer Magazine

20 September, 2025

Black & white special issue! We feature one of the all-time greats, Richard Avedon, whose acclaimed book ‘In the American West’ has been re-issued. We talk to Piper Mackay about her love of Africa and her award-winning b&w infrared images. We share the best ways to convert colour images to mono, explore the top phone apps for b&w, and look at the best-value b&w films. Kit-wise, we test the long-awaited Ricoh GR IV compact, and Peter Fenech explains why he still uses a Samsung NX1 a decade on.
