We are already 2% of the way through 2020. 0.02 of 2020. Go figure. I’ve used that time so far to grab tools, some wood and to hack away at our studio – goodness knows it (and me) needed it. It’s a long time since I’ve drawn up engineering drawings and I am, honestly, loving every second. Oh, and I’ve …
Ah, and so here we are: 2020. We’ve careered through the holidays like a kid on a brand new scooter, bouncing down the road until we’ve crashed headlong into the New Year, and here we are, bruised and smiling, all ready to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and get back on for the ride ahead. This year, this year, …
So you know what it’s like: you’re in the middle of a busy week, the weather is crappy, you’re tired and you have a shoot to do… Not exactly conducive to creativity. And yet, and yet… your job is to weave your magic – from the experience to the images, your clients rely on you, nay your business relies on …
A real pleasure to have interviewed Richard Bradbury FBIPP FMPA. Richard is one of the world’s great photographers and an all round nice guy and the interview is full of little gems about preparing for sales, customer service and authenticity. In fact, our chat in his west London studio is full of useful stuff for anyone interested in running a photography …
In this episode, I ponder on WHY on earth I am taking the shot? There has to be a reason, right? Surely I am not just lying in the dirt for the fun of it! In this day and age it is all too easy to simply take the photograph because you can – not because it’s a good image …
It’s always a pleasure when I get to sit and chat with someone with such a wide and interesting view of photography as Su Kaye, MPA’s Chair Of Judges. I’ve known Su for a few years and, as ever, she is intriguing, knowledgeable and engagingly honest about her life, career and what the future holds for her and the photography …
You’ve finished your shoot (in this case, a wedding), everything is packed up, the memory cards are shared between you (you know, just in case you’re in a car crash – you have clean underwear on too, just like your mum told you) and you’re trundling your way home. And then it hits you. That all-too-familiar wave of paranoia and …
Well, I’m back on the microphone! Had a bit of a break as the summer peak workload kicked in but once more, I am sitting in the cab of the Land Rover Defender, muttering musings into the microphone on the move. Haha, a little alliteration for you. Anyway, this episode’s topic is the choice between constancy or invention: should we, …
In this interview, I get to spend a very happy hour in the company of Melanie East, an extraordinary Newborn Photographer and Trainer: Melanie is known around the world for her passion and creativity for newborn photography and is the author of the book The Art Of Newborn Photography. She is equally passionate about running a business which is key …
Meet one of our clients. Rob Panting, Communications Officer for OxLEP (The Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership) has been a commissioning client of ours for nearly decade – starting at the Hearing Dogs charity in 2011 and then with Affinity Trust, Bucks Care and his current employer, OxLEP. I thought it would be interesting to ask him what he values …
