This week: I’m talking about the need to make alternative arrangements. This week’s show has a dual purpose. On the one hand I’m discussing the matter of how we work around situations which don’t quite go to plan – and at the same time, I’m bringing you up to date with my current activities. Some quick […]

This week: I’m doing a spot of location scouting for a forthcoming photo shoot. In conjunction with Volkswagen and my good friend, musician Tom Kent, there’s a lot to think about in advance. It’s important to get a head start in order to address multiple considerations – from vehicle access and lighting setups, through to any health and […]

This week: I’m returning to the water, in search of some elusive pictures. In last week’s show, you heard me talking through a series of images as I shot them down by the water’s edge. This time around, you join me as I revisit that area, taking advantage of the foggy conditions which I really needed […]

First up, you’ll hear my chat with renowned documentary photographer Alec Soth, in which we discuss the idea of narrative and the state of documentary photography today. Then, a name […]

This week: I’m heading back from a meeting where a client’s photography requirements were discussed. The process of collaboration between a photographer and client is often a very fluid one, starting with the very first conversation where details are discussed and a plan begins to form. Working out what is required versus what can be achieved whilst […]

This week: I’m talking through the pictures from a recent Christmas-themed photo shoot. In last week’s show, I discussed the photography kit I’d be using. As promised, in this edition I’m bringing you a follow-up to that, talking through how the shoot itself went and analysing some of the pictures I produced on the day. Some quick links to things […]

This week: I’m talking you through the kit I packed for a recent evening photo shoot.

Join me as I make kit selections in preparation for a quick, local, Christmas-themed photo shoot.

This week: I’m talking through a photography trip down by the water's edge.
