Protect your photographs. I know that we have been here before with this discussion but it is time for a reminder I think. I Heard a story the other day about someone whose mobile phone fell into the toilet and several years worth of images were lost. Many of you now keep the entire record...
Hi everyone, I was going to write a piece on the things to consider when looking at printed photographs v digital files when I found an excellent article that was written a couple of years back which I’ll print below as the writer has done it much better than I can. That being said the...
Changing our business. We have been trying out a studio space for the last few months as it was something that we always wanted to do. A review of the results suggests that we will be able to better serve our clients by doing location portrait sessions as it is a more flexible business model...
Last Saturday, 21 January 2017, I was invited to the Muscleworks Gym in Bethnal Green for the London Olympians British American Football Team pre season weightlifting Combine. The athletes were to take part in three disciplines, straight lift, bench press and squats. Normally you expect players in this sport to be heavily built. It was...
Concentration problems, Hi everyone, I hope that you are having a great weekend. Unusually I am having a thoughtful moment. Mother nature has seen fit to inflict a streaming cold and thick head on me. Now I’m not looking for either sympathy or mickey taking but rather asking a question. How do all of you...

It is something that I doubt those outside of the stable lifestyle would understand, particularly if you live some...

Last weekend I went to a training day at Damian McGillicuddy’s studio in Chester for a training day on using flash along with 6 other...
An amazing day out We have had a couple of opportunities over the years to go to the Farne Islands in Northumbria to photograph the breeding bird colonies there. We took a day trip to two of the islands controlled by the National Trust. One opens in the morning and one in the afternoon...
Hello once again folks. It’s camera phone reminder time. We have many occasions each year where we like to get as many photographs as possible for a memory of the day. Recently I was talking to many people and found that they still keep all their pictures on their camera phone picture roll. What happens...
The Christmas holiday is almost upon us once again. Many of you will be taking pictures of your children opening their presents. Some of you will be using a phone camera, some a point and shoot and others again will be using a larger single lens reflex camera. Remembering back to my childhood we had...
