I don’t pack up my camera when the sun goes down – here’s how I capture urban low-light photography
August 19, 2025
You’ve spent all day out and about with your camera, and it’s time to go home, right? Well, hold your horses, once darkness descends, urban areas start to light up with neon signs, gaudy entertainment, and the beams of passing traffic. For the main image here, I decided…
Worried you’re getting on a bit, and there’s a ‘best before’ date on your career? Well, there’s an army of octogenarian photographers who will politely – or perhaps mischievously – prove you wrong.

If you had told me back when I was in high school that I would one day be shouting at large groups of people, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. But my decision to pick up a camera hasn’t just given me the ability to freeze time – it has given me the confidence to speak up as a soft-spoken introvert.

Let’s be honest: everyone wants to look their best. When you wake up in the morning, you rub the sleep out of your eyes, remove anything green dangling from your nose and brush your teeth (or at least, I hope you do).
If your eyes are bloodshot, you might use eye drops. If…
I’m worried we’re in another big tech bubble…. and it’s about to burst all over your photography business
August 18, 2025
If you run a photography business, chances are that AI hasn’t impacted your bottom line yet. Because although AI is able to do things like generate studio-quality headshots, it’s still a long way from being able to replicate the work of wedding photographers, sports photographers or fashion photographers, for example.

Each photographer is given near-total creative freedom and the results have ranged from sultry to subversive…
