Dont make it happen, just let it.
I’m back, and aside from responding to a couple of pressing emails, the last week saw a complete abstinence from anything photographic or business related. In an effort to recharge my batteries and just take some time out for myself I felt it was a necessary course of action I needed to take. Iv had [...]
Sabbatical
Time out. After another busy couple of weeks I feel that I need a holiday. Not an actual holiday, I don’t know what one of those is anymore! Just a mini sabbatical from my Camera. I can feel that i’m starting to push myself a little too much again as enjoyment turns to frustration. Trying [...]
From the pocket
Taken in firle village church near Lewes. This is a snap shot of an alabaster effigy of sir John Gage and his wife Philippa. Gage died in 1556 at Firle place which is still the current Gage family home. Im not a religious person but im fascinated by the architecture of churches, and was really [...]
The wrong side of the lens
Since I began shooting portraits last year it became very apparent early on how just much confidence can impact on the final pictures.

I took this on my phone whilst shooting example images for my filtered blog. Although i probably wont see it through, i want to try and upload a phone pic every couple of days. I recently saw one of chase jarvis interviews and something that stuck with me was the quote “the best camera is [...]
Filtered
Just a quick addition to the big stopper project blog I did recently. I thought i would do a brief follow up showing the different type of results that can be obtained with different filters. I am rather limited to showing just 3 examples as I only have 3 basic filters that I use. But [...]
From the pocket
On a day that saw the first, and probably only snow fall of the year in Sussex. I was working!! I was presented with a quick opportunity to snap this pic on my iphone. Seeing this snow covered lane reminded me of a road that lead to my grandparents cabin in Finland. Even Made me [...]
Discombobulation
Once again, paper, pen and a 24 minute train journey save the day. The last week has seen a bit of an “imbalance” which has needed a little time and thought to resolve. A while ago I made a decision that lifestyle photography would be my bread and butter work, eventually leading to include wedding [...]
