It's been a while!
June was a busy one for me so had to take a break for a bit.
As I was doing my monitor calibration last week I thought it would make an interesting video/podcast talking about how and why cameras and screens translate colours and why we need to make corrections.
I'm no expert but know enough to get by so I'm hoping this is useful for those who are stating out and wondering why their images don't look accurate or correct when displayed on different screens and printers.
Here's some links to the reference material I use, the equipment I use and where to get them.

Next one will be back to normal and talking about more art theory and practice, once I've had chance to do some proper research.
Thanks again to everyone who's been listening and getting in contact, blows my mind everything that people decide to listen to my ramblings.

Hi everyone!
Thank you once again for the amazing engagement and support you've been offering, we're still a small group but I'm so appreciative to everyone who has watched and subscribed to my channel.
This week I'm talking about the story of Migrant Mother and how it was manipulated in order to provide a story which the editor and creator felt was more engaging.
You could call it 'Fake News', but was this a purposeful change or a mere mixup of details by the photographer?
And in the case of Migrant Mother, did the ends justify the means when it meant that the New Deal institutes of the Resettlement Administration and the Last Farm Securities Administration received more funding and support from Congress and the public?
Dorothea Lange made a universally acclaimed and iconic image which has remained one of the most influential and recognisable documentary photographs of the 20th century and together we will look at the context surrounding its creation and the Florence Owens Thompsons reaction to it, as well as the reaction from her family.

After a few weeks of burying myself in work and research I’ve finally got round to making a new video & Podcast!
This week we will be talking about improving your art and photography by investing in reading instead of equipment.
These are some of my favourite books and make a great set of introductions to deeper reading and delving into more specific topics over time.
Overall the focus of these works are to help us understand how photography developed, the changes in usage and movements and the practitioners who drove forward the progression of photography as an art medium. There’s so much insight knowledge here about the intent and execution of works as well as how those intentions tied back to their placement in cultural and time. Here are some links to the books discussed in this video, they are not affiliated so make sure to shop around.
Many can be found for less that £10 including shipping when looking at eBay and other used book stores or charity shops.

Hi Everyone!
Thank you for all the recent support on my photography videos and podcast!
In this video I'm taking a look at the myth that Victorians were always miserable. Typically we see lots of portrait photographs with the subject looking very wooden and stoic, so I thought I'd share how the use of posing supports, the limited technological ability of cameras, and the conventions of portraiture dictated how the photographs looked.

In this episode I'm taking a look at the 2006 portrait of Steve Jobs that has become one of the most iconic photographs of the last 20 years. We'll be discussing why it works so well, what we can understand from what we see and a little about why we shouldn't just copy what Albert Watson did when making this superb photograph.

I have recently had the same question asked by at least 4 different people?
How much should I charge for photography? This also falls into the question, how much does photography cost?
I wanted to try and answer this question for both new photographers but also those who aren't familiar with booking a photographer.
Hopefully you'll find this useful for planning your own business or help explain what it is you are paying for when you book a session or project with a freelancer.
As always, this podcast is the audio from a YouTube video so if you wish to watch along instead you can find this episode at;

I'd love to hear your feedback and ideas both on the episode content but on my work in general.

Hello Everyone!
Those who know my podcast and channel already will know that the focus of my writing is not on the technological side of photography but the theoretical and critical.
However I understand that some people will ask the inevitable question 'What gear do you use?' so this video is for you!
Here's my 2021 gear list, I think its a fantastic setup for anyone who wants to get the best out of a relatively limited budget especially as I know that it works for not only creating great artwork but working in a commercial role for studios and businesses etc!
Also it gave me chance to try out my new lights and studio setup.
Before I get into more complex subjects. Video editing is a pretty steep learning curve for me at the moment, so I apologise for any errors or issues that are in this video. I did notice that there are focus issues as it got stuck to my mic and not me, there a flickering at one point which appeared during rendering and whilst I did my best to hide all my cuts there are a few I just had to leave in haha. Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
I shot this on my iPhone 1, I could get better results using my cameras but they are in the video plus I'm not so committed to this that I want to dedicate a camera or mess with setting up every time, at least not right now, if I start getting an audience then I'll consider moving to using my a7ii but for now I think the iPhone will be fine once I get used to colour correcting the footage properly and also nailing the lighting setup, it looks better at night but as you see here daytime is quite flat!
Anyway, hope you enjoy the video, if you do please do all the podcast things would love to hear your comments and see you in the next episode!
