Last Sunday, I visited Liverpool to meet up with fellow photographer and good friend Steve O’Nions. It’s been some time since we’ve had a joint trip to a city, and I don’t mind admitting that I struggled initially trying to find compositions. My initial idea had been to photograph abstract subjects, like paint on walls … Continue reading Exploring Liverpool’s Vibrant Wall Art
Last week, I shared a couple of photos I shot at the end of the day on a trip to Blackpool. Those were captured using a Nikon Z7ii, but that wasn’t the only camera I used on this trip. I spent most of the day photographing with my iPhone, and the Nikon only came out … Continue reading iPhone Photography Around Blackpool
This week, I headed over to Blackpool and met up with a friend for some photography. The weather looked very promising. I love the idea of photographing old seaside towns out of season, so this looked ideal. We met up around midday and grabbed some fish and chips for lunch (when we found a chippy … Continue reading Photographing Blackpool
Last week, I mentioned that I wanted to try my hand at Urban Photography again. So, I met up with a friend and we headed into the city with our cameras. What I realised very quickly is that I’m out of practice. I was flipping between spotting too many good opportunities and being confused, to … Continue reading Forgotten Advice From An Urban Photography Trip

Anyway, whilst I was there, I began spotting … Continue reading Feeling The Need For Urban Photography

I’ve been lucky to work in some wonderful locations around the world, but my favourite is probably Manchester where I started and finished my career. But even though I’ve left the corporate world … Continue reading Missing Manchester and City Photography
This is another of my images from last week's London trip. For those of you not familiar with the skyline, the large domed building is the Gherkin. And the building in front of it covered in ducting and cranes is Lloyds of London which I'm sure must be pretty well known around the world (if … Continue reading Friday image No.018
Recently I have read quite a few articles by professional photographers who have been using lightweight cameras in their work. Cameras that were once dismissed as “toys” are now being accepted, even embraced by top professionals. I read one article where the photographer (I wish I could remember his name) had finished a shoot using … Continue reading Creative Freedom in Photography
