Faversham Hop Festival
With the last of the summer bank holidays feeling like a long-lost subtext to an otherwise non-existent warm season; the Faversham Hop festival signifies one last opportunity to see off summer. A welcoming to the light, colour, and flu germs that epitomise autumn in the UK.

The Importance of location
Over the August bank holiday weekend some important lessons were learned. People told me not to expect too much from my first portrait shoot. They weren’t joking! I can’t describe it as a complete disaster; I had a lot of fun and learned LOADS, needless to say on this occasion I have created lots of pictures that are genuine…

GamesCom : A Photographers Nightmare?
During August my team and I venture out to Cologne, Germany for the annual GamesCom conference. Since taking up photography and buying a few bits of half decent kit, I figured this will make for an ideal chance to find out how much I’ve learned.

Light – It gets everywhere

San Francisco Prt 2: Shooting in the street
The second part of our photographic journey round San Francisco involved a bit of candid snapping of the local wildlife. It seems there is even a technique for the simplest things when it comes to photography.

San Francisco – Pt.1 : Night Shooting
Deserves a quiet night… There are few things more spectacular than the golden gate bridge at night and I was extremely keen to use the excuse of being out in SF to have a first stab at night photography. In hindsight, it might have been sensible to have a go somewhere a little more boring…

Rain, Rain, Go away
In-Door shooting: Spring has sprung in the UK, which means my new hobby has been somewhat put on hold. It has been decided, I am not yet keen enough to brave all this crappy weather. The good news (for me) at least is, tomorrow I will be on a plane heading to mean old ‘frisco,  spending as…
