A week in photography
There is always something new
to try in photography, and it’s
no surprise to hear from
retailers that there has been
an upsurge of interest in macro and still-life
gear during lockdown. I am no exception,
and have been paying a lot more attention to
flowers and insects on my daily walks. So this
week Tracy Calder shares tips for better
still-life images, also bringing in her insights
as co-founder of the Close-up Photographer
of the Year contest. Another highlight is our
round-up of the best new cameras you can
buy at the moment; once you’ve found the
right model using our guide, you can find
some great deals from AP’s advertisers. In
addition, check out our guide to Skylum’s
Aurora HDR, which AP readers can get for
FREE. Keep calm and carry on shooting...

Legends of
photography
Louis Armstrong on Stage
by Haywood Magee
American jazz trumpeter and band leader Louis
Armstrong shouts after clarinetist Edmond Hall’s solo,
on stage during the Louis Armstrong and His All Stars
British tour in May 1956. An unidentified bassist
stands in the foreground. The band exhaustively
toured the world, booking more than 300
performances a year, with the All Stars including a
number of different performers at various times.
The photographer, Haywood Magee, was one of a
number of those working regularly at this time for the
Picture Post,
including Bert Hardy, Thurston Hopkins
and John Chillingworth.
The
Getty Images Hulton Archive
is one of the world’s great cultural resources. Tracing its origins to the founding of the London Stereoscopic Company
in 1854, today it houses over 80 million images spanning the birth of photography to the digital age. Explore it at
