The Active Photographer

This week: I’m bringing you my third and final show based around this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.

This week: I’m talking about the camera setup I use for the majority of my social photography assignments.

The truth is that my equipment setup very rarely changes. Over the years, I’ve fine-tuned my kit selection and know it to be perfectly suited 99% of the time.

This week: I’m talking about photographers' need for common sense and professionalism.

People often talk about which cameras, lenses tripods etc photographers use. This is all very well, but the kit falls into insignificance if you don't know how to conduct yourself in front of clients in the first place.

This week: I’m sharing a less positive experience I recently had whilst out on location.

I always try to do everything the proper, above board, considerate way - so it really was quite disappointing to see my location scouting trip conclude in the way it did.

This week: I’m up and about early, photographing an old sunken ship at sunrise.

If you’re anything like me, once you get an idea for a picture in your head, you’ll go to all lengths in order to capture it. This was the case recently - and in this week’s show, I’m talking you through the process as it happened.
