Why Disposable Cameras Are Your New Best Friend
I can see why disposable cameras have become a trending topic. As film starts to gain traction once again, the general public will look for a simple way to try it out. Personally, I am a huge fan of the disposable cameras and have captured some of my favourite images while using them.

Shooting Portraits: Best Camera Angle Techniques
It seems that nowadays everyone owns a DSLR. The world of photography is more accessible than it has ever been with the help of digital technology and cheaper prices. We all have memories to capture or a story to tell, but what is the most effective way to represent your story. The superficial objects in your photo may offer a basic explanation but many other factors are noticed when an audience looks at your work. In most cases, those superficial details will be noticed first. For portraits, this would be the model displayed in the image. After registering this first element, the audience then begins to conceptualize a story. This is where things like colour, pose and camera angle become apparent.

Try B&W Film: Take It Back to Basics
As a new photographer, I was inevitably attracted to colour images. I saw greyscale as something for old family portraits or the photography class at my local high school. Growing up in an era dominated by the internet, my initial inspiration was, of course, found on apps such as Instagram and Pinterest. These apps are filled with bright, saturated colour images, focused on bokeh (background blur) and neon lights. I knew nothing about the ins and out of photography, but I believed that I could create something as impressive as the accounts that filled my feed. Eventually, I strayed from digital photography to take up an interest in analog (film) photography. This led me to black and white, which I believe to be the purest form of photography.
