I’ve had a few questions lately asking me about how to get sharp photos – specifically, how and why my photos are consistently crisp. The short answer is that as a professional photographer I’ve had plenty of practice (technique is hugely important) and I’m always thinking about the technical considerations which can influence the final […]
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. […]

I know quite a lot of self-employed people and whilst the world of self-employment can be satisfying in so many ways, we also bear huge responsibilities to our clients, ourselves, and of course to our business. We have to understand what it’s costing us each month (and perhaps each hour) to run our business and […]
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 […]
