This week: I’m talking about the importance of finding your creative ‘happy place’. It’s no secret that woodland is where I often feel most relaxed – especially if I’m in my hammock. A change of scenery and a change of place works wonders; it also give my creative juices the chance to flow. Everyone should have […]
This week: I’m talking about giving your pictures a creative nudge, so they continue to strike a chord. If you’ve ever felt that the photographs you share aren’t quite hitting the mark with your audience… you’re not alone! Staying constantly creative can be a challenge – but thankfully, getting on track doesn’t have to be a […]
This week: I’m talking about how photo opportunities are available to us everywhere, every day. With a little bit of creativity, it’s amazing just how effectively we’re able to connect with our audience – you just need to be able to see the possibilities for pictures that surround you. Some quick links to things mentioned in this […]
This week: I’m talking about the importance of embracing storytelling in your pictures. Stand-alone pictures are fine, but we are far more relatable if we attach some kind of narrative to them. Some quick links to things mentioned in this week’s show: TAP Episode #272: The Re-launch Episode (last week’s show) Giles on Instagram Photo […]

Hold the front page – MY PODCAST IS COMING BACK! What’s that? I had a podcast? If you’re new here… well yes, I certainly did – and what’s more, it ran to 270+ regular episodes plus a whole bunch of ‘special editions’, too. Feel free to browse the archive here. We all have to prioritise […]
Plagiarism – blatantly ripping off people’s work and calling it your own – is not cool. As a Visibility Coach, it saddens me to see people taking the work of others and passing it off as their own. Why? Because it simply isn’t necessary. It also highlights the fact that those people could likely do […]
To say that I’m excited to make this announcement is an understatement! I’ve been listening to feedback, getting my thoughts together and I can now reveal my… . 8-Week Brand Builder Programme!! . I just went Live on Facebook to officially launch it, answer some questions and fill you in on all of the details. […]
It’s a fair question – and one which I get asked a lot. The answer is quite simple… but very often, folks just don’t know where to start. Sound familiar? Sharing random pictures on your social media isn’t enough. These can be too vague, unrelated to what you do and, worse still, not relevant to […]
It’s Monday. What if I told you that by Friday, far from solidifying your reputation, the pictures you’ve used for promotion will have actually damaged it? Your ideal audience won’t be thinking “Wow… I need that!”. Far from it. Sounds dramatic – but I see this every day. It seems like folks sort of… well… […]
I messed up the shot. I had one chance… and I blew it. Then I did it again. And again. And again. Dammit. I just couldn’t get it right. Honestly, the only thing more off than my timing was the focus – and the only thing worse than the focus was the exposure. And you […]
I’m kicking off a new series, in which I’ll be taking a look at a range of pictures – both client work and behind-the-scenes – and elaborating, to give you the all-important full story.
