I recently read an interesting article over on LinkedIn. It was well structured and raised some very good points. However… Regarding how we engage with photographs, the author asserted “Your audience… go straight to the next one. Eventually your brand disappears behind all the selfies and chicken parmigianas.” I don’t necessarily agree with this. Sure, […]
When it comes to taking portraits of team members (regardless of industry), there can often be, shall we say, a certain ‘resistance’ to the idea. Often triggered by the official in-house reminder email doing the rounds, everyone has a number of days to overthink the situation and tell themselves all manner of reasons (excuses?) why […]
I’ve been asked to quote for a number of assignments recently, where the would-be client has approached me with something along the lines of: “We need photographs of X. How much will it cost?” Sadly, that’s not an over-simplification of their enquiries – it’s basically the full extent of their opening gambits. Whilst it’s a […]
This week: I’m talking about a recent assignment in London. The podcast is finally back! In this edition, we’re getting right down to the nitty-gritty of taking pictures under pressure – as I share my experiences of a corporate photo shoot. There’s a lot to get through, with a fair bit of technical discussion to keep you gear-heads entertained […]

This week: I’m talking about a couple of corporate conferences I photographed before Christmas. With similar considerations on the day (or night), the kit choices for these assignments tend to be pretty standard each time, perhaps with a little tweaking here and there. But invariably, the images are previewed in Adobe Bridge – and it’s here […]
This week: I’m talking about a recent corporate shoot at an end-of-year awards night. The pre-Christmas round of corporate photography ended with a nice little awards ceremony for a long-standing client.

This week: I’m working late into the night, preparing pictures for a client. Sometimes, you just have to do what you have to do – and that can mean facing unsociable hours. Editing a recent shoot gave me the chance to talk about the process. Some quick links to things mentioned in this show: TAP Episode […]
This week: I’m talking through the first of two shoots recently undertaken for a long-standing corporate client. On this occasion, the requirement was for a range of posed, studio-setup shots as well as unposed candid images captured during a meeting. Some quick links to things mentioned in this show: Test/Review – Peli 1510 Case Nikon D3 […]
This week: I’m in the car, recounting a recent last-minute client request. Ordinarily, I like to factor in plenty of time when supplying imagery to clients; on this occasion, however, I was asked to supply some prints with only a very narrow window of opportunity. Some quick links to things mentioned in this show: One Vision […]
This week: I’m talking through the technical side of a conference I recently photographed for one of my corporate clients. A couple of weeks ago, I once again returned to London to photograph a yearly conference. In this episode, I’m talking about the equipment used on that shoot. Some quick links to things mentioned in […]
