They\u2019re the orchestra \u2013 I\u2019m merely the conductor. However, for the past three months I\u2019ve had to put down the baton due to illness. That AP has not, during this time, missed a beat or hit a bum note is due to them. Many are unsung heroes who barely get a mention unless you scan the credits on page 20, so I\u2019d like to shine a light on them here.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll start with deputy editor Richard Sibley, who so ably stepped up to the rostrum in my absence. AP\u2019s reputation for quality news is down to Chris Cheesman. In the technical department, Andy Westlake, Michael Topham and Callum McInerney-Riley strive to bring you authoritative tests of the latest kit before anyone else, while on the features desk Phil Hall and Oliver Atwell sniff out the most inspirational stories and techniques. Designers Mark Jacobs, Sarah Foster and Antony Green make the pages look great, while Lesley Upton and Meike Abrahams make sure everything goes to press on time with as few errors as possible. Karen Sheard runs our websites, ably assisted by Paula Benn, John Layton shoots and edits our videos, while Sam Blakey arranges our reader offers, competitions, events and free gifts. All the images we print, whether by readers, or legends past and present, are managed by Rosie Barratt on our picture desk. Andrew Sydenham shoots our product photos, as well as the lab tests for our review cameras. The glue that holds us all together is my PA, Chrissie Lay, who fields your emails and calls, pays our contributors, organises our meetings and does hundreds of other things.<\/p>\n<p>Without them all, you\u2019d be looking at a lot of blank pages every week, so a big thanks to them and to you, our readers, whose continued patronage enables us to keep doing what we do.<\/p>\n<h2>Richard Sibley<\/h2>\n<h3>Deputy editor<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Richard-Sibley.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67119\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Richard-Sibley.jpg\" alt=\"Richard-Sibley\" width=\"115\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>For me, this year has been about using a feature that is on virtually every camera released, but that previously I have barely touched. That feature is video, and for the first time since art college I have been regularly shooting video. Most of this has been testing cameras for The Video Mode (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thevideomode.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.thevideomode.com<\/a>), but I\u2019m trying to create short films and learn more about creating a story, rather than just a nice-looking clip of a few seconds\u2019 long.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, I hadn\u2019t given the video features of most cameras a second thought, but with the image quality of most models being more than good enough for my stills photography, I now find myself looking at the video features as more of a priority. I can\u2019t wait to spend more time shooting video next year.<\/p>\n<h2>Phil Hall<\/h2>\n<h3>Features and technique editor<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Phil-Hall.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67122\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Phil-Hall.jpg\" alt=\"Phil Hall\" width=\"100\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Looking back on my photographic year, there\u2019s one thing that sticks out in my mind and that\u2019s a week capturing a stunning array of wildlife on the beautiful Masai Mara in Kenya. Never having experienced anything like this before, with such close proximity to wildlife that made it feel like I was in the middle of a BBC nature film, it was a trip I\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n<p>Having never really shot wildlife like this, it was a steep learning curve at first and I was well out of my comfort zone, but with the help of expert guide Paul Goldstein I quickly gained confidence and loved every minute of it. Without a doubt it has to be my most rewarding photographic experience yet. Looking ahead, if there\u2019s anything that comes close to rivalling this next year, then I can\u2019t wait for 2016.<\/p>\n<h2>Michael Topham<\/h2>\n<h3>Deputy technical editor<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Mike-Topham.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67121\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Mike-Topham.jpg\" alt=\"Mike-Topham\" width=\"100\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Looking back over the past 12 months, I\u2019m delighted to say that I have succeeded in what I set out to do this time last year, which was to rekindle my interest in automotive photography.<\/p>\n<p>Like any sportsman who finds it challenging returning to the sport they love after an injury or a period out of the game, it wasn\u2019t easy getting back on the bike, as it were. A few of my early shoots weren\u2019t successful, but then after some perseverance it all suddenly clicked and came together. I can\u2019t deny that returning to a subject you haven\u2019t photographed for some time isn\u2019t daunting, but I believe that taking on a photographic challenge and pushing yourself is one of the best ways of becoming a more competent photographer.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_67118&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Michael-Topham-car.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-67118 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Michael-Topham-car.jpg\" alt=\"Michael-Topham-car\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Michael-Topham-car.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Michael-Topham-car.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Michael-Topham-car.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Michael-Topham-car.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Michael-Topham-car.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Image by Michael Topham<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>If there\u2019s a photograph you\u2019ve always wanted to take or a location you\u2019ve always wanted to visit, make 2016 the year you do it. I have never photographed the Quiraing \u2013 the northernmost summit of the Trotternish on the Isle of Skye. Research into my 666-mile journey north to the location I\u2019ve always wanted to visit has already begun, and hopefully by this time next year I\u2019ll have an image to prove I\u2019ve been there.<\/p>\n<h2>Oliver Atwell<\/h2>\n<h3>Senior features writer<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Olly-Atwell.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67116\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Olly-Atwell.jpg\" alt=\"Olly-Atwell\" width=\"100\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>I tend to be a little childlike in my approach to the things I enjoy. Not content with being just a fan of something, I approach it with a near evangelical zeal. That\u2019s why 2016 will be full of my endless promotion of the new work from my favourite photographers.<\/p>\n<p>Yet this year, or perhaps even earlier, a funny thing happened. My infantile superfandom landed on the shoulders of a close personal friend of mine. Danish photographer Magnus Arrevad, finally put together a book and exhibition of work that was five years in the making. His extraordinary black &amp; white images, all of which were shot on 120 film, traces the male burlesque scene across New York and Europe. The project is called \u2018Boy Story\u2019, and it\u2019s an exquisite masterwork.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_67117&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Olly-Atwell-Magnus-Arrevad.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-67117 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Olly-Atwell-Magnus-Arrevad.jpg\" alt=\"Olly-Atwell,-Magnus-Arrevad\" width=\"1000\" height=\"803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Olly-Atwell-Magnus-Arrevad.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Olly-Atwell-Magnus-Arrevad.jpg?resize=300,241 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Olly-Atwell-Magnus-Arrevad.jpg?resize=498,400 498w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Olly-Atwell-Magnus-Arrevad.jpg?resize=900,723 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Olly-Atwell-Magnus-Arrevad.jpg?resize=562,451 562w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Olly-Atwell-Magnus-Arrevad.jpg?resize=435,350 435w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Olly-Atwell-Magnus-Arrevad.jpg?resize=180,145 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Image by Magnus Arrevad<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>I\u2019ve watched the growth of this project, from the time of meeting him at a mutual friend\u2019s exhibition, through our time living together in a North London warehouse, and ending at the exhibition.

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Michael-Topham-car-t.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-18 20:49:02","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67111"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67111\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67248,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67111\/revisions\/67248"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67111"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=67111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
