It’s been a hectic few weeks and there hasn’t been much time at all to take pictures. At this time of year the weather is unremittingly dark, wet and gloomy so I tend to become immersed with other aspects of my work, including the annual Societies Convention in mid January where I’m one of the […]
I don’t think I could have developed my skills as a professional photographer (or built a sound business) without dedicated training from some of the finest photographers in the world. As amateurs we can spend many years attending our local camera clubs, reading books and watching videos. All of these are great ways to improve. […]
November sees the closing round in The Societies professional imaging competition and in December we find out about The Societies Gold Medal upgrades. There are two winning designations in the competition, a prestigious and rare Gold Medal, and Highly Commended for those images which have just fallen short of the top award. There’s often very […]
I haven’t got around to entering The Societies competition much this year, but since November represents the final round before the awards in January it would be a shame not to take part.

A few months ago Olympus asked me to act as judge and mentor on a very exciting project. In brief, the Olympus Protege 2014 competition sought to identify the most promising amateur photographers in four genres – Animal Photography, Fashion Portraiture, Music Photography, and Landscape Photography. Heading up the Animals category is hugely exciting but […]
I think there’s something fascinating and compelling about catwalk photography, particularly the homegrown confines of London Fashion Week 2014, the hub of which is the beautiful and refined setting of Somerset House on The Strand. It was great to see so many familiar faces from the occasions when I’ve shot here over the years – […]
