It’s fair to say that the Covid 19 Pandemic has affected each and every one of us in one way or another; be it with the loss of a loved one, a friend, or how the restrictions placed upon us have affected our everyday lives.
I can only talk about how it’s affected me, or rather how it could have affected. Now I say ‘could have’ because I know what I’m like and I know, that even with no pandemic to contend with, I’m the kind of person that gets restless and agitated if I’m not constantly working on something new.
As a Portrait Photographer, pre March 2020 it was easy. I had portraits to take and I had my 39-45 Portraits Project which in all honesty, I’m happy to say
If there’s one thing that has a BIG impact on your recognisable style, it’s how you colour grade your images.
There are so many ways to do this and a lot of the time it boils down to personal preference, however, imagine if there was a really easy way to take the colour from your favourite movie or tv programme and add that into your pictures!
Well, here’s a hack that I worked out to do exactly that with just one click!
The technique first of all makes use of Adobe's
Back in May 2019 I was at the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon, Wiltshire photographing and filming Mark Billy Billingham (former UK Special Forces and star of TV’s SAS: Who Dares Wins and Who Dares Wins Australia) whilst he was on his ‘An Audience with…’ tour.
Having met up with ‘Billy’ early in the afternoon, we set up on the stage hours before the audience streamed in to take some portrait and promo shots as it was shortly before his first book The Hard Way was released…
Seeing as I’ve revamped my website and also tidied up previous blog posts, I just wanted to make sure I included this one from early in 2020 when I spent a day with one of my closest friends, Brian Dukes, and photographed his incredible Ford Mustang.
We photographed it on a former airfield which saw action during World War 2, and is now owned by another great friend of mine Tom as it forms part of his farmland.
You’ll see in the video below, how I lit the image and that was by taking a serious of photographs with a flash positioned at different parts of the car; these images were
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been putting a lot of time into not just revamping my website, but moving it to a completely new hosting platform (thank you SquareSpace). I’m going to be writing a post about why I’ve done this, but needless to say I am VERY happy I finally made the (much needed) move.
Anyway, as part of the moving process I connected my Google Analytics account to the new site and what was really interesting to see was that ‘Invisible Black Background’ was still ranking high up there as one of the search terms used by folks and that lead them to my site. If you didn’t know, ‘Invisible Black Background’ refers to a photograph technique I named and that was featured in the New York Times, and is basically a way to make it look as though
If you missed the LIVE broadcast, here it is...
Celebrating the wonderful man that was Squadron Leader Allan Scott DFM (Spitfire ACE) on what would have been his 100th Birthday.
This is a recording of last night’s LIVE Broadcast so feel free to jump past the 5 minute countdown…
Sad that today is not as it should have been with us celebrating the 100th Birthday of our dear friend, Squadron Leader Allan Scott DFM.
Were Allan with us, today we would have been heading to Biggin Hill Aerodrome to see him again flying his beloved Spitfire; instead, we will spend today with Allan firmly in our thoughts
Here’s a short video showing how you can add or enhance Realistic Sunlight in your pictures QUICKLY and EASILY using Photoshop.
The technique makes use of a Gradient Fill and shows you how to use Gradients to create 3 individual circles that make up the sun along with how to resize them and use Blend Modes for ultimate realism.
Hope you like it,

Following on from a post last week, here’s a full length (10 minute) video where I go through ‘hands’ on use of the NEW Sony A1 and how I lit and photographed a recent surfer portrait on the beach at Saunton Sands at around 12pm on a VERY bright, sunny day…
