First Photoshoot of 2023Top Story - January 2023
As cliché as it sounds, 2023 really has come around so quickly. For me, 2022 was a dream of a year, both personally and professionally - maybe even my favourite year yet. I was lucky enough to travel to some beautiful cities, meet a lot of amazing people and work with clients I could have only dreamt of working with, and so, to say that I’m excited for 2023 is an understatement.

Getting Your First Photography Client
Getting your first client can seem like an impossible task: you need a portfolio to get a client, but you need clients to get a portfolio, right? It might seem like a catch-22 but here's where working on personal projects, often on a TFP basis, can come in handy and help you to tackle the first portion of the task.

Testing Kodak Gold on Medium FormatTop Story - April 2022
Most of us have shot Kodak Gold on 35mm at some point in our film photography journey. It’s arguably one of the most popular and affordable 35mm stocks available to buy and is one that I’ve enjoyed for years.

We don't tend to award the artistic merit of a painting based on the price of the materials used but, in photography, we often believe that we must have the most expensive equipment in order to create worthy artwork.

The Ultimate Gift Guide for Photographers
It's almost that wonderful time of the year already. How December has come around so quickly, I'm not sure. It feels as though it was just yesterday that we were welcoming in the new year, unsure of what 2021 would bring and whether or not it would be any different to what the anomaly we had hoped 2020 was. Maybe that's a topic for another day.

Lomography's Lomochrome Metropolis: A Review
I've expressed previously that I don't tend to be very adventurous in my choice of film stock. I like to work with what I know, what I think I can control, and I don't tend to stray too far from that.

The Lucky OnesTop Story - September 2021
Your teenage years can often feel like you’re living in limbo. Or, at least, that’s how I remember them. It’s a strange paradox of feeling like an adult and starting to take on adult responsibilities, but not quite being an adult or having any of the freedoms that come with adulthood. You’re too old to be a child but not old enough to be an adult. I think that, at times like this, where you’re living in that in-between, finding a purpose can be difficult.

How to Shoot Portraits in Natural Light
Shooting in natural light can be a daunting experience when you begin with photography. The most obvious thing that people struggle with when it comes to natural light is its lack of predictability.
