The Special Issue No. #86 of B&W + Color magazine announcing the 2011 Portfolio contests winners is now on the newsstands in Australia, the USA and Europe. Over 8000+ photographs were submitted to the magazine for entry into the competition and I am very excited to announce that my work has been selected for a full Portfolio Spotlight Award and will be featured in the October B&W + Color Special Edition magazine to be released in a few days (I believe it may already be available in the USA).

B&W + Color magazine  is published in over fifty countries and is a prestigious photographic journal featuring fine art photography from international artists. Issue #84 announcing the 2011 Portfolio contest winners can be purchased at all major book sellers and newsstands as well as online via B&W + Color magazine’s website. This issue has the full list of Spotlight Portfolio winners and Merit Award winners. It also includes one of my photographs from Landmannalaugar in Iceland; which was selected as a sample to head the winners list. The B&W + Color Special Edition including my full Spotlight Portfolio; which contains a series of photographs from Iceland, and article should be available to purchase in the next week or so depending on availability in your location. 

Over recent years traditional paper magazines have been adding more and more online content to their websites in an effort to keep their readers interested, engaged and to maintain their relevance in a world increasingly enamoured with (must have it now) online content. These magazines walk a somewhat tenuous line between satisfying their traditional readership base who purchases the magazine at a news stand and those who just visit the website for the highlights or selected (usually free) online content. They have a foot in both camps as it were in an effort to both placate and satisfy readers from both technological demographics; whilst offending neither. Some magazines walk this balance beam very successfully; others less so.

Another magazine offering – the “Online magazine” is becoming more prevalent every day and offers some significant advantages to both the publisher and viewer (provided the viewer has access to online content of course). One of the those that is gaining significant readership and traction in the professional photography world is ‘f11 For Photographers and Aficionados‘. f11 is a FREE online magazine presented in a page flip format as a PDF and is aimed at professional and enthusiast photographers, designers and creative people working with images, as well as buyers and collectors of photography.

Now in its fourth issue, I am very pleased to announce that one of my photographs from Iceland has been chosen to grace the cover of the current October issue of f11.  The magazine also includes a recent interview article and features more of my photography from Iceland all in an online PDF magazine format that is iPad compatible.

If you have an interest in photography and have not yet checked out f11 Magazine then I would encourage you to to do so – You can subscribe online for updates via email as issues go live and best of all its FREE. Let me know if you enjoyed my interview article!
