Portrait Shoot, January 2020 Well, well, how tricky it is for a photographer to be the subject of photography! In general, we photographers are behind the camera for a reason, and I certainly don’t usually enjoy the process of being photographed. However, from time to...

Its a funny time of year isn’t it? I don’t usually notice this so much as I have this year, but I seem to be in a sort of limbo. It’s not quite Christmas yet, but it’s dangerously close, and I’m not sure I am ready! So I was surprised to...

I am not sure why it is the case, but often when I have completed a photoshoot I can’t ‘see’ what the images are like. It takes a while to visually digest what’s there, and see it for what it is. Maybe others don’t have this problem, but...
