Being in London for a few days, I was immensely pleased to learn that Tracy Hallett was promoted to Editor of Outdoor Photography magazine. Tracy was Deputy Editor for two years, and will be replacing Keith Wilson who will be moving to a new job at the magazine's holding company.
Congratulations to you Tracy....a well deserved promotion!
It's fitting that Tracy's talents extend to being an excellent photographer herself...she has recently exhibited images images from Thailand, Guatemala, Prague in Brighton, has had an image exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London, and has work published in 18 consumer titles including The Independent on Sunday, British Journal of Photography, Photography Monthly, Travel Photography and Black & White Photography.

Outdoor Photography is one of the better photography magazines published in Great Britain, and is known for its informative balance of features, tests, techniques, travel and environmental stories. Each issue features an array of landscape, wildlife and travel features, with regular contributions (including some of mine) by Britain's leading photographers, and tests of digital and film equipment by photographers for photographers.

Having worked on the editorial team of Outdoor Photography magazine for six years (including two years as Editor) I left GMC Publications with a broken stapler, a bulging contacts book, and a passion for British landscapes.
Prior to my nine-year stint at GMC Publications Ltd, I spent a week guest editing Company magazine after winning its ‘Land your Dream Job’ competition in 2000. In the same year a selection of my photographs appeared at The Photographers’ Gallery in London after being short-listed for Channel 4’s competition YR.1: A Snapshot of Britain in the 21st Century.
Two years later a set of my pictures appeared at The National Portrait Gallery as part of a touring exhibition entitled Self Portrait UK. Other accomplishments include recognition in The Guardian’s summer writing competition in 2009, a place in the short list of Red Magazine’s travel writing awards in 2003, and a commended entry in the Photo Projects: Monochrome category of the International Garden Photographer of the Year competition in 2012. In the last 10 years my work has appeared in more than 25 consumer titles including BRITAIN, Outdoor Adventure Magazine and The Independent on Sunday.
Before embarking on my journalist career, I attended Southampton Institute (now known as Southampton Solent University) where I gained a First Class Honours degree in Media with Cultural Studies. During my time at the university I undertook a part-time job at the local arts cinema, Harbour Lights, where I met my husband, fellow island adventurer Daniel Calder. When we’re not bobbing about in a boat, climbing a mountain, or snorkelling through a kelp forest, we can be found in lovely landlocked Lewes in East Sussex.
