Photography, video, lecturing and drone filming, it's what I've been doing for over 30 years. This isn't a showcase for my work, if you want to see what I do please visit my business website. This blog is about my views on the industry, new practices, reviewing products and offer help if you have questions. If you can contribute to the blog by writing articles offering advice and information to other photographers I'd love to hear from you.
Having the ability to be upload images to a dedicated website for my clients to view and purchase has been a vital part of my business since moving from film to digital in 2009 (that really makes me sound quite old!) and bearing in mind how much competition there is out there offering similar services I’ve continued to use the same company, theimagefile I have a…
With the www.photographyshow.com starting this weekend this latest product release sent to me from the simimaging team has been perfectly timed. If you’re visiting the show be sure to head over to the Sim section where they’ll have this product displayed on their stand so you can get your hands all over it.

For a lot of our video jobs my team use Canon C100 Mark 2 camera, www.canon it’s a large, solid camera…

If you’re looking for detailed technical specs on the material and how it’s made I’d suggest contacting…
The annual SWPP Convention swpp.co.uk took place at The Hilton Metropole over the last few days with a number of masterclasses and talks taking place. Being very short of time this year I visited the free trade show only on Saturday for a couple of hours so this is a very short review. I’ve been going to this event since it started (was the first…
I spend a lot of time editing photos and video using Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere Pro on both PC and Mac (I far prefer PC but that’s another blog post). www.adobe.com For years I relied heavily on professional photo labs to colour correct my edited images and in most cases the prints I received never accurately matched what I was seeing on my screens,…
