48 hours in Paris with Huawei
A whirlwind trip. 30 miles walked. 48 hours. SO. MANY. PHOTOS. Here’s a photo diary of Paris, shot with my new Huawei Mate 20 Pro. When I preordered my Huawei Mate 20 Pro, I did so hoping I’d have it just in time to take to Paris, and finally be able to travel a...
Saal Digital Alu-Dibond Print
Who doesn’t love to try out new methods of photo printing, display, and to coin my own phrase “memory preservation”? I always keep my eyes peeled for innovative ways to print and display images, which satisfies both the designer and photographer in me. This time, to...
Nikon AF-P DX 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6 G VR Lens
When you’re presented with an incredible landscape, as you are so often in the Nordic countries, which lens do you grab to best capture it? Should you really fork out on the cost of an extra wide angle lens for the sake of about 8mm? Well, in the olden days of prime...
Vanguard VEO 235ab & monopod
"Which tripod should I buy?" Is a question I'm often asked by other photographers, and largely, it's as personal a thing as buying a camera itself. Several requirements need to be factored in, such as the kind of photography you want to do, how long you plan on...
Tenba BYOB insert
I’ve briefly touched upon the difficulties a photographer faces when trying to search for the perfect camera bag in this post. - Do we ever achieve it? Does one bag really do everything we need and more? How many bags should we admit to owning, and how many must we...
Cheerz Photo Printing
In such a saturated digital age I love that we can still have tactile photo prints. They aren't and won't die out - we just need them in our lives! Though I'm not of the generation, I started my photographic life shooting film and developing it in a darkroom, and I...
Saal Digital Photo Book
Following my epic adventure to Iceland, I was asked by Saal Digital to review their photo book services, and so set about designing something a little more than your average photo book (being a designer has its advantages!) There are a variety of ways to put your...
Lomography Konstruktor
What could be more exciting to an avid photographer than the chance to create your own piece of kit, from scratch?! I’ve had my eye on a Lomography Konstrucktor kit for a while, so took the plunge and not only got one for myself, but one for a friend who shares my...
K&F CONCEPT FILTER SET
I’m a creature of habit when it comes to photography equipment. Mostly. I use SRS Microsystems for bigger pieces of equipment - lenses, camera bodies etc - SRB Photographic for ND filters, KeyPhoto for all my analogue needs, and of course WEX for, well, everything in...
SIGMA 18-300mm LENS
Lugging a heavy camera bag around just isn’t ideal when you’re out exploring on foot; my kit bag would typically contain my Nikon D7100 camera body, three lenses, a variety of filters, cleaning equipment, plus of course spare SD cards and batteries. Oh, and sometimes...
Lomography Colour Negative 35mm Film
Having recently made a Lomography Konstruktor camera, and fixed the shutter curtains on my Nikon F301, I was feeling inspired to take a wander and do things the old fashioned way! I would usually favour Ilford black and white film, as this is really where my...
ND1000
Like many photographers, I too adore a well-taken long exposure image. It’s no longer photography, it’s art. It’s pushing the boundaries of ‘true’ photography, and recording time like we can’t see it ourselves. And, I’m sure, like many photographers, I have serious...
