Practical Photography – the UK’s biggest monthly photo magazine – has collaborated with DMA Media – experts in multi-channel, news and factual video production and distribution – to launch Photography Now.
www.photographynow.tv is a dedicated video-on-demand channel for photography enthusiasts. The collaboration blends the editorial expertise and heritage of Bauer Media’s Practical Photography magazine with the content curation and video production skills of DMA Media.
