I’ve been wielding a camera for years, shooting everything from weddings and ad campaigns to standing in the rain trackside at Silverstone. These are some of the things I have done and learnt over the years.
Is it just me, or is everyone a photographer these days? I don't mean everyone has a camera or that photography is a popular hobby, I mean I'm seeing more and more people proclaiming to be a bone fide, card carrying professional photographer. They have a large black...
It's advice you'll see over and over again, not just from photographers but from people in all walks of life: If you want to stand out from the crowd, do something different. Now while I am not lauding this as the greatest photograph ever taken, but I like to think...
Last weekend saw Modified Nationals at Peterborough Showground roll around again and with it, a chance to see how far my photography had progressed since last year. It was a similar situation to last time - a case of shoot when you can where you can, make the best of...
The fact you are here, reading this blog, probably means you are like me and you love photography. Not just like or enjoy, but love. Put a camera in my hands and I'm happy. I love being able to unleash my creative side that starts to scream from inside if I keep it...

Focus On Imaging is the biggest photography trade show in the UK - think of it as our version of Photokina or Photo Plus. While it's not as large, you still get a few product launches there and this year I was particularly interested in The Flash Centre's launch of...
Last month, I spent a weekend getting up close and personal with some classic rally cars as they hooned around a wet and muddy Stoneleigh Park. It was all relatively low speed stuff on a tight tarmac circuit full of 90 degree turns but Race Retro is a great...
I've known Michelle Westby from the car show scene for quite a while now but it wasn't until Autosport in January that we finally set a date to shoot together - part of my "Actions, not thought" motto for 2011. Unfortunately, the weather let us down so a lot of our...
I'm lucky enough to have access to what can loosely be called some studio space (a huge empty room, large enough to get a car in that gives me completely control of the ambient light) so last night I tried a little automotive light painting. So armed with nothing more...
