Tales, techniques, tricks and tantrums from one of the UK’s top portrait photographers. Never just about photography but always about things that excite - or annoy - me as a full-time professional photographer, from histograms to history, from apertures to apathy, or motivation to megapixels. Essentially, anything and everything about the art, creativity and business of portrait photography. With some off-the-wall interviews thrown in for good measure!

Ep.64 The Importance Of Being Present
Friday Nov 29, 2019
Friday Nov 29, 2019
So you know what it's like: you're in the middle of a busy week, the weather is crappy, you're tired and you have a shoot to do...
Not exactly conducive to creativity. And yet, and yet... your job is to weave your magic - from the experience to the images, your clients rely on you, nay your business relies on you to kick into gear and perform to the absolute limit of your ability. Even if you'd rather be sitting with a cup of tea (or a glass of wine!)
And that is always the case. No matter what, it is crucial that you turn up and you're present. 100%. Each. And. Every. Time. Your clients deserve it.

Ep.63 Interview With Photographer Richard Bradbury FBIPP FMPA
Sunday Nov 17, 2019
Sunday Nov 17, 2019
A real pleasure to have interviewed Richard Bradbury FBIPP FMPA. Richard is one of the world's great photographers and an all round nice guy and the interview is full of little gems about preparing for sales, customer service and authenticity. In fact, our chat in his west London studio is full of useful stuff for anyone interested in running a photography business.
As is our way, I asked Richard to recommend a book or two for our ever-expanding library of interesting books. Richard recommended Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind and The Work Of Hipgnosis : Walk Away Renee by Storm Thorgerson.

Ep.62 Think About The WHY Not Just The WHAT!
Thursday Nov 07, 2019
Thursday Nov 07, 2019
In this episode, I ponder on WHY on earth I am taking the shot? There has to be a reason, right? Surely I am not just lying in the dirt for the fun of it!
In this day and age it is all too easy to simply take the photograph because you can - not because it's a good image or there's a profound reason to take it. These are my thoughts on some reasons why you should create that image - and some thoughts on not bothering if there's no good reason to.
