This afternoon, keen to bang the drum for storytelling, I decided to do an informal Facebook Live. I should probably mention right up front that this was after I had stayed up all night in order to meet a deadline. In hindsight, not the finest idea I’ve ever crafted, perhaps?! A easy mistake to make? […]
In my quest to think broadly in a creative sense recently, I’ve been playing around a bit more with time-lapse video. Now, this is nothing new to me – for many years, I’ve used the technique when documenting photo shoots, to great effect. In these cases, I set a camera up in a convenient position […]
I was on a Discovery Call for my Outdoor Impact package the other day, which many of you will know is all about helping outdoor brands tell their story using photography in their marketing. I love hearing what they’re all about and how they’re developing their message – and getting products and services in front […]
Time lapse video is such a great tool when it comes to storytelling. With the ability to illustrate a process from start to finish, it’s perfectly suited to all manner of situations. For example, you might set up a camera in the corner of a shop, moments before a refit begins. Or maybe you want to […]
You’ll remember that a while back, I headed up to the Lake District to film an event called Mind Over Mountains with my good friend, Alex Staniforth.

It involved a long, hot weekend of walking, two very big mountains and a lot more besides! It was a great […]
I’m deep in the process of research at the moment, working through all manner of ideas processes for my business. I’m checking out videos, Instagram pictures and stories, twitter feeds, websites and blogs… You name it, if it helps towards the ultimate goal, I’m there. Nothing is out of bounds. This past day or so, I’ve come across […]
If you follow my Stories feed on Instagram or have listened to Episode #239 and #240 of the podcast, you’ll know that I recently headed out to make a short film about bluebells. Well, I’m pleased to say that the final video is now complete and has been uploaded to my YouTube channel in the past day or […]
This week: I’m on location, talking you through some of my recent bluebell photography. In last week’s show, you joined me in the middle of a woodland as I shared a few thoughts about the process of photographing and filming bluebells. Well, this week’s edition is directly related to that – a recoding made whilst making the […]
This week: I’m in a bluebell woodland, talking about shooting stills and video. As many of you know, around this time of the year, a wide variety of natural spaces across the country are transformed into wonderful displays of colour, thanks to the flowering of bluebells. Towards the end of last week, I headed out to capture the […]
In this recent podcast, I told you about how I teamed up with Peli for a Test/Review featuring one of their location lights – a 9490 RALS. The product write-up will follow, but in the meantime I want to share some of the details of a shoot I did using the light… The premise was […]
