The Active Photographer

This week: I’m talking about daily planning and the expansion of services I offer to clients. I’ve recently been giving a lot of thought to the structure and development of what I do. There are a number of strategies which I find really useful in helping to push things forward and it’s these that I am discussing […]

This week: I’m on location, talking you through some of my recent bluebell photography. In last week’s show, you joined me in the middle of a woodland as I shared a few thoughts about the process of photographing and filming bluebells. Well, this week’s edition is directly related to that – a recoding made whilst making the […]

This week: I’m in a bluebell woodland, talking about shooting stills and video. As many of you know, around this time of the year, a wide variety of natural spaces across the country are transformed into wonderful displays of colour, thanks to the flowering of bluebells. Towards the end of last week, I headed out to capture the […]

This week: I’m talking about how networking can be of benefit to photographers. In this week’s show, I’m sharing a few thoughts about something which has to do with the business side of being a photographer – and, actually, of running your own business in general. There are many ways to encourage would-be clients. The process […]

This week: I’m on location, shooting a specific picture for a magazine article. You’ll remember that a few weeks back, I went on an overnight camping trip, putting together a walking feature for a magazine. Due to poor weather on the second day of that trip, I later returned to one of the spots we passed, in order […]

This week: I’m sharing a couple of conversations recorded live at The Photography Show 2017. Once again, I had a great trip up to The Photography Show and as ever, I recorded a number of informal conversions with manufacturers and service providers whilst there. Trōv: position 1:24 Nikon: position 13:48 Some quick links to things mentioned in this […]

This week: I’m talking through some feature article pictures as I shoot them. I recently submitted a feature to Camping Magazine, in which I discussed how families and individuals can put together a simple, tailored first aid kit to keep with them at all times. In this week’s show, you join me as I quickly shoot the […]

This week: I’m talking about the kit selected for a camping/photography trip. Around the middle of last week, I headed off to the South Downs in order to work on a feature describing a walking route. On that occasion, it required camping overnight and in the days preceding, of course, I had to decide which kit […]

This week: I’m talking about a quick Test/Review sunset photo shoot. I recently headed out on location to see how Peli’s 9490 RALS lighting would cope during an evening portrait photo shoot. In this episode, I’m talking about the resulting images whilst running through some of the considerations we faced along the way. Some quick links to things […]
