We are currently looking for people to take part in 'Reader Masterclass' across the UK over the next six months.

Every month Bob Barclay takes three AP readers on a shoot where the participants compete to win a Samsung Digital SLR. Bob sets a task and the photographer whose image best fulfils it wins the camera. Simple as that!

In the past, locations have included Donna Nook to photograph seals and a night shoot on London’s Southbank. We have lots of exciting assignments planned including location and studio shoots. Feedback has been positive with those involved commenting on how much they have learnt.

If you are keen to join Bob and have your work published in Amateur Photographer, please send an email or letter containing your name, age, address, telephone number, occupation, photographic interests and a brief summary of why you’d like to be involved.

Send your details to gemma_padley@ipcmedia.com marked 'Reader Masterclass' or post to 'Reader Masterclass', Amateur Photographer, IPC Media, Blue Fin Building, 110 Southwark Street, London, SE1 OSU.

Please do not send any images. We keep all requests on file and will contact you when a suitable Reader Masterclass is available.

I look forward to hearing from you.
