Blog Update: I'm Back!

It's been a very busy few months for me and thus I've struggled to make the time to keep this blog up to date. I've had the opportunity to shoot in Tuscany, Italy along with trekking through the alps for 4 days and been up and down the country shooting architecture.

Property Photography Before & After

Property Photography Before & After

Though now becoming less common, in the past estate agents have been known to produce some pretty poor photography for their property listings. Whether it's wonky composition, exposing for the windows leaving a dark and dingy interior, lack of depth or an ultra wide angle resulting in an unnatural view of the space, it's not flattering to the property and space and could either turn off potential buyers from enquiring further or they could feel deceived when it comes to viewing the property.

In Plain English - Photography Quotations & Invoices

In Plain English - Photography Quotations & Invoices

When receiving a quotation or invoice from a photographer, if you are new to the industry or process or even well versed in the business of photography you may come across certain terminology that you do not fully understand or that makes no sense to you whatsoever. I like to be as verbose as possible on the estimate and/or invoice to ensure nothing is lost in translation, but in some cases when dealing with multiple or large/complex projects, in order to make the estimate/invoice clean and easy to read for all parties that it may pass through, this is not possible.

Shooting The Most Sustainable Student Accommodation in The World

Everything was working in my favour for this shoot. The weather turned out for me giving me a nice spread of puffy white clouds and deep blue sky. I arrived on time to make sure the sunlight was at the right spot for the image and shot a few brackets. For one of the compositions, a lady also conveniently walked past my camera right on cue  to add some foreground interest and motion to the frame

Shooting Modern Office Interior Design With A Twist in Stockton-on-Tees

Back in October, I had the pleasure yet again, to work with one of my favourite clients, Dale Office Interiors, photographing a complete fit out they had finished just days before for rapidly expanding e-commerce experts Visualsoft. I had a really great time shooting this office, the interior design was bright and lively yet modern and functional, a great reflection of the warm and welcoming Visualsoft team. The design seemed a perfect fit for them, as the staff arrived for the day, you really feel a buzz about the place and I feel this design plays a big part in this.

After a long day of lazing around on the Egyptian coast, recovering from the previous days excursion to Cairo I spotted this group of rocks on an eastward facing beach that seemed to form a very pleasing arrangement. I knew immediately I wanted to return the following morning with my camera to shoot the sunrise.
