Almost three years on, it is timely to take a step back and examine the way that the paper scene has moved on, especially as we are writing our 40th issue of Professional Imagemaker. Paper Chase has been ever-present in the magazine.

dodge & burn
As the title suggests, the phrase dodging and burning originated in the darkroom.

Macro Photography - A close-up look
Macro photography basically means getting close enough so that the subject or object being photographed is approaching life sized and beyond. In practical terms this means for example if an object is 1cm in height then it will be 1cm on the film plane or sensor plane.
