A week in photography
It is rare that we are given the
opportunity to share a photo
story as important Nick Mason’s
moving documentary project on
an Intensive Care Unit in Gwent.
It is the perfect response to those
who don’t take COVID-19 seriously or indeed think
it is some kind of made-up conspiracy. We also
feature Laurin Schmid’s very different but equally
compelling project, on Yugoslavia’s ‘Spomeniks’.
Best-selling author Michael Freeman offers us some
great advice on understanding light, award-winning
photojournalist Edmond Terakopian tells us why
he’s a convert to the L-Mount Alliance, John Wade
looks back at the Canon 7, and our Greatest Album
Covers series tells the story behind David Bowie’s
classic,
Aladdin Sane.
Finally, if your local lockdown
restrictions are making it difficult to get your copy
of AP why not take advantage of our subscription
offer on page 24?

Guy Fawkes
by
Reinhold Thiele
Crowds gather to celebrate
Guy Fawkes Night and
watch the burning of an
ef gy of Guy Fawkes on a
bon re. 2020 marks the
415th anniversary of the
notorious Gunpowder Plot,
the failed assassination
attempt against King
James I by a group of
Catholics led by Robert
Catesby. Authorities were
alerted by an anonymous
letter that they should
search Westminster Palace
during the early hours of 5
November 1605, where
they found Guy Fawkes
guarding enough
explosives to reduce the
Houses of Parliament to
rubble. Over the next few
days, he was questioned
and tortured into
confessing the plot.
Although just one of
several people involved in
the plot, it’s Fawkes’ name
which has become
synonymous with the 5
November celebrations.

Beauty in Simplicity
by Sony Rajput
Nikon D5300, 70-300mm lens, 1/60sec at f/5.6, ISO 160
Sony is a nal year post-grad student of digital journalism and took this
portrait of his elder sister on her birthday. ‘It was a personal project during
quarantine and was lit entirely by nature light, with the help of a strainer to
create a thrilling effect.’ Sony has used a simple kitchen accessory to great
effect here, and shows just what can be done with ordinary household items
and a little imagination.
