One really lovely surprise I had a while ago was a mention in Adobe’s Spark Blog! I already knew that I had made it onto their ‘Wall of Inspiration’ which is covered in one of my older blog posts. However, it was an extra honour to feature in their blog too! I have worked with Adobe’s creative tools for many years and each year they just keep getting better and better! Having used the Adobe Spark Pages product for developing web pages I can thoroughly recommend it. Photoshop for photographers, in my opinion is also essential. I love to experiment with photography and I hope to do more soon. In the meantime here’s my feature. I am blog/Spark page number 2 in the article.

The Corona Virus

The Coronavirus has brought many problems, but it has also afforded many opportunities. A problem I constantly run into is finding time to update my blog! Over the last couple of years I have worked on many great projects but sadly not had the time to document them. Coronavirus has now changed all of that for me. Therefore I’m currently taking advantage of all of my newly found free time to catch up on things I enjoy doing. This includes keeping my blog up to date. The image I’ve chosen for this opening 2020 post is one from March last year. The reason I’ve chosen this image is because it made the Wex Photographic shortlist for one of the weeks in March. The Wex Photographic Photographer of the Year competition affords some very stiff competition. Every week, photographers are invited to enter the competition with an image each Monday that they shot the preceding week. This is a great way of keeping content fresh and forces photographers to go out and shoot something new. However the competition is extremely high with entries often running into hundreds each week. Many photographers enter on a regular basis but never ever make the […]

Training to be Human

In September 2018 I was very privileged to shoot my local college’s immersive drama production called ‘Training to be Human’. This was yet another successful production which built on a previous immersive theme from the year before called Memoirs of a cinema. The cast and crew were absolutely amazing. Below are some of my favourite images from the evening. There are more images here. [Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”66″ gal_title=”Training to be Human”]

Adobe Spark

I have worked for a while now with the web ‘Storytelling’ software from Adobe, called Spark. I use Spark for almost everything from weddings to commercial photography. Adobe Spark Pages are a quick and easy way to journal and document my images. It’s also really easy to share Spark content too, simply a case of cutting and pasting a link. I was therefore absolutely thrilled when Adobe asked if they could use my work on their ‘Inspiration Wall’. My work has been there for a while now and amassed over a whopping 30k views. My Adobe Spark Page about Bokeh shows just what can be done with a little bit of know how and some creative thinking. The project originally began as a college project. I wanted to explain to my students the relationship between aperture and depth of field. I also wanted to show some of the amazing effects that can be created by knowing about this simple relationship. During the lecture I demonstrated the theory using my camera to take shots. It wasn’t until I was sorting out my old images that I discovered the work I produced that day was actually quite interesting. In the image […]

Memoirs of a Cinema

In 2017 I covered a production by my local college at the ‘Old Picture House’ in Paignton, Devon. The show was titled Memoirs of a Cinema and was both truly amazing and a highly immersive performance. I have included some of my favourite images from the evening and one of my images was used as the poster to advertise the event. I am including a link to the full story of the evening and this includes many more images. Event photography is rapidly becoming one of my more favourite types of photography as it is always fun trying to capture those special moments and action shots. Please click on a thumbnail below to take you to a few of my favourite images. and please click this link to see the whole story of the evening.

Moving Into 2017 – A Quick Update

Some of you may have noticed that I’ve been a little absent since the Torbay Airshow 2016. I’ve not been lazy honest! In the Autumn of 2016, I began work as a part-time photography lecturer at my local college. In May 2017, I was asked to cover the local Brixham Pirates’ Festival. Two the highlights were winning a Viewbug award and one of my jewellery images appearing in Devon life. Dabbling with Documetary Looking back, 2016 was a great year for moving my photography forward. I have even begun to dabble with film. I also really enjoyed working on some images for a friend of mine. The Brixham Fish Quay was a great opportunity to shoot both documentary and commercial shots which was great! A round up of of the day can be seen on my Adobe Spark page. This half term holiday has afforded some time to update my work. In fact, I can safely say I’m really pleased to be back! Please come and follow me at my Instagram and don’t forget to keep checking back, as I’ll keep posting hints and tips for any keen photographers out there.

Jewellery Commission

These are images of our first jewellery commission. We had the privilege of photographing some really beautiful handmade silver pieces. They lend themselves to natural lighting which helped to enhance the beauty of silver. [Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”3″ gal_title=”Jewellery Commission”]
