I was absolutely delighted and extremely proud to be asked to contribute to an article (with a number of immensely talented photographers) about intentional camera movement.

There are 3 parts to the final article. My main contribution is in the first and the cover image of the second is mine too. I've added all the links below.

If you're interested in the technique and the thought process behind ICM, please take a look. There's some really valuable content! If you have any questions or want to talk camera techniques, I'm always available and happy to chat about my favourite subject!

This month Share Six is focusing on one of my favourite compositional tools, {negative space}. Negative space in art – photography or indeed any other art form – is often as important as positive space in terms of composition. Creatively, we can find a balance between positive space (the subject...

If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen my recent announcement, but in case you missed it....

Last week I was absolutely thrilled to hear that I have been selected to be a Lensbaby Ambassador!

I got my first Lensbaby lens - the Edge 80 - for Christmas 2017, and it was love at first click. Prior to that I was doing a lot of freelensing (detaching my lens from the camera to create a shallow depth of field and incredible blur), but the Edge 80 enabled me to create amazing blur without getting my sensor so filthy and ultimately get even more creative with the images I was creating. The natural progression was to add a few more lenses to the collection!

Today, these lenses help make me the creative photographer that I am. I'm so thrilled to be representing them, and I'm even more thrilled that I can now offer my friends a 10% discount on purchases from Lensbaby via this link https://bit.ly/2OpMFUu with the discount code: WHERD

Is it easy to look carefree, but there are a lot of people really struggling right now. It's totally okay to admit you're not okay, okay?

How are you? How are you really? I'm here for you, however and whenever you need.

Still doing my best to get back on track, posting and processing images from 2020. Reminiscing about the light on this walk along the canal gives me all the feels! There is light and hope and joy in the world, even when it may not feel like it.

A throwback to when we could go out, order coffee, read and relax in . It seems like a whole world away right now, but we'll be get back to those carefree ways again and we'll appreciate it all the more.
