This week: I’m at this year’s Festival Of Speed motoring event again, this time taking advantage of the quiet at the end of a hot day, capturing images of historic racing cars.

Episode #11 – Pizza, Paint And A Big Red Bus

This week: It’s another look into the considerations surrounding one of my latest shoots. This one had it all – colour, fun and context. The great thing about photographing kids when they’re engrossed in an activity is that the shots look really natural. Working with natural light means I can move around freely, capturing a [...]

Episode #7 – Unpacking The Kit

This week: I’m following up on last week’s location recording, unpacking my kit bags afer a second shoot for the same client. Just what is involved in photographing a conference? What equipment do you need… and what can you do without? Are you mad on a mountain bike, here in the UK? Do you go [...]
