Photo Review Australia Magazine Profile
The bi-monthly print edition of Photo Review tracks the latest digital cameras, printers and scanning equipment, and also keeps a weather eye on developments in digital video, removable memory and the kind of computer technology that is a pre-requisite for successful photography.

Important as the technological dimension is, we believe that the tools are but a means to an end. And that end of course is the photographic image. Whether it be a happy snap at the beach, a meticulously crafted commercial image, or the transcendent vision of an artist, it is the image and the making of it that matters above all. And that's why every issue of Photo Review magazine will feature a profile and portfolio section for your viewing pleasure and - we hope - your photographic inspiration.
