Digital Photographer magazine is celebrating circulation growth despite tough market conditions for 2010. The Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC), the body, which audits magazine circulations, has announced Digital Photographer’s average circulation now stands at an average of 20,645 per issue.

The leading photographic title from Imagine Publishing has managed to maintain strong and steady sales, with a circulation increase of 2.8% for its print sales – one of only two magazines to show a rise in ABC – against an overall market drop of 4%. This figure does not yet include sales of the Digital Photographer digital editions for the iPad, predicted to be strong since their launch in early 2010.

Editor Rosie Tanner commented, “We’d like to thank our readers for their continued loyalty and support. There’s no doubt it has been a challenging year on the newsstand, with photography being an extremely saturated market to be part of, but the latest ABC figures prove Digital Photographer remains strong and well received. We’re very proud of that.”

As well as the strong circulation figures, the Digital Photographer brand looks set for further success this year, with the growing popularity of its digital versions, an exciting website redesign and huge popularity of companion bookazines and eMags.

“Photography enthusiasts have never had it so good, with such a wide range of resources available to them to help improve their skills. Digital Photographer offers readers fantastic features, tutorials and advice, not to mention a free CD packed with Photoshop video tutorials every issue,” said Tanner.

The interactive stand will play host to talks from industry leading figures, including landscape photographer David Clapp. Designed to help Focus attendees improve their photographic skills, these talks will take place at regular intervals throughout the day and are free to attend.

Digital Photographer magazine will be joined on the stand by sister titles Digital Camera Essentials, Photoshop Creative and Advanced Photoshop, to allow visitors to see a wide selection of the imaging titles available. From buying a new camera to shooting techniques and essential post-production tricks, the stand will have experts on hand to help with any queries. There will also be some exclusive show offers to allow visitors to buy discounted magazines, bookazines and subscriptions.

Debbi Allen, Editor in Chief, explained: “As the leading show for photography and creative imagery, Focus on Imaging gives us the chance to be able to speak directly to our readers and hear what they like about the magazines. And this year we’re bigger than ever before – with a stand packed with demonstrations, events, magazine showcases and exceptional show offers on all our products.”

Focus is a key event in the UK for both the photographic and digital imaging markets and it ensures that Imagine Publishing continues to showcase its vast array of print and digital products to both the industry and the consumers.”

Focus on Imaging runs from 6-9 March at the NEC, Birmingham.
