I have been subscribing to LensWork for many years and look forward to its bi monthly arrival. It is an American publication that focuses on photography, and the creative process, with articles, interviews and portfolios.

I have been influenced by many of the photographers that I have discovered through LensWork and my interest in abstract, architectural and fine art photography is motivated with almost every edition.

The images are stunningly replicated. I am often disappointed with other books and publications when the images they are showing have been badly printed. The images in LensWork are of superb quality. The articles and interviews that go with the images help to get an insight into why they were taken and understand a bit more about the images themselves and the photographer behind them.

Some of the articles have inspired me to take a different look at photography and allowed me to recognise that there is a world if images out there just waiting to be captured. They have also frustrated me at times wondering how a particular image was created and if I am capable of being that creative! I have spent many hours resarching particular photographers and their techniques.

Although I subscribe to several other main stream publications and do indeed get inspiration and information from them, there is no doubt in my mind that LensWork is in a class of its own.
