This issue takes us from the tiny hidden worlds of flowers and plants to rugged mountain ridges, painterly landscapes, and the streets of Wellington after dark.
🌿 Finnish photographer Taru Rantala shares her beautiful dreamlike macro photography and explains how she finds inspiration in the smallest details of nature.
🎼 Swedish photographer Erik Malm discusses his unique approach to photography, combining his background as a symphonic musician with abstract imagery that he describes as "making music with images".
⛰️ Peter Laurenson takes us into Kahurangi National Park on a journey to Mt Lockett, proving that some photographic locations really are worth sweating for.
🌙 We also join the Wellington Photo Explorers as they venture into the world of night photography. What began as a simple experiment quickly became an addictive challenge, producing everything from quiet and mysterious scenes to creative long exposures and camera movement techniques.
As always, you'll also find inspiring photographs from our community and plenty of ideas to encourage you to pick up your camera and explore.
Happy reading and photographing!
