A Photographer's Guide to Editing with Adobe Lightroom
As a photographer by trade, photo editing is a big part of what I do. Generally, I spend more time editing my photos than I do actually taking them.

Is a Film Scanner Worth Buying?
Ever since I started scanning my own film, I've had a lot of questions as to whether or not purchasing a film scanner is really worth it.

A Homage to Croydon
I moved to Manchester in 2017, ready to start a new life in a city where I would be studying and without much of a consideration of the city I was leaving behind, despite the fact that it would now be 200-odd miles away.
