There’s a characterful portrait gracing the cover of the latest issue of Professional Photo, provided by Italian American photographer Michael Chinnici, whose love affair with Cuba forms the basis of this month’s Project feature. French photographer Umbertha Richeux shares her atmospheric portfolio with us, which consists of a revealing series of self-portraits, all set against a rich tableau of sumptuous yet slowly decaying abandoned buildings, sourced across Europe.

The latest issue of Professional Photo has a decidedly fine art feel, with a gorgeous Old Master-influenced portrait by Barbara MacFerrin gracing the cover. Inside we’re featuring a full interview with the photographer who is creating such a buzz at the moment, and we’re discovering the story behind her distinctive style and hearing how it’s helping her to build an international reputation.

The bumper new issue of Professional Photo is the biggest we’ve produced to date as an independent publisher and it’s positively heaving with unmissable content! For our Portfolio slot we’ve caught up with the legend that is Albert Watson, and the great photographer is bringing us up to date on how his New York studio has survived the pandemic and he’s sharing, for the very first, time, some of the images from his latest project, with one of them featured on our cover.

A new book from wildlife specialist Tim Flach is always a special treat and we’ve got an eye-catching cover image from the great photographer plus an insightful interview and a further selection of wonderful avian imagery to feast your eyes on inside.

There’s a dramatic portrait of a firefighter gracing the cover of our first issue of the New Year, and inside you’ll find a full interview with photographer Josh Edelson, who has spent the past ten years chasing the Californian forest fires, which sadly appear to be increasing in intensity year by year.
