Seeing & Feeling
2023-07-18 19:06:21 UTC
Today was all about seeing with emotion. Feeling connected to everything; life, people, my neighbourhood and allowing myself to be open to being surprised and delighted. The contrast of these first two images were quiet revealing to me: Nature and then Art. I live next to the BBC Recording Studio.…

Visual Vocabulary
2022-11-30 20:25:34 UTC
Singular Theme Subjects can be documented with a 50mm Lens. This mean a tight Frame around the subject with enough breathing space. I am looking at the environment now as part of deepening my understanding of Visual Vocabulary. 18mm/28mm on my Fuji/Nikon is my natural wide Frame. This is my…

VC | A Day at The V&A
2022-11-07 15:55:34 UTC
South Kensington always offers up a few choice moments. Visual stories in a single frame. People being themselves. Girls on a day out. Grace and Alice - two new friends. and The David I stopped off at The Victoria & Albert Museum. I Like to sit quietly in this gallery…

XF 10-24 | Seeing Deeper
2022-05-18 10:22:22 UTC
Seeing deeper is all about embracing the wider canvass. The Frame is still the classic 35mm, however, the optics of this Lens forces me to stretch my vision and imagination. The human eye doesn’t perform such optical tricks. The standard Lens of 50mm has achieved its reputation for matching our…

XF10-24mm | Academic Learning
2022-05-17 17:21:45 UTC
I have had this Lens for a few years. It just goes to show how long it takes for appreciation to kick in. When I got it, I just felt I needed a Wide Angle for my Images. I used it a few times, but not with the focused learning…

The Wider Frame
2022-05-04 19:29:50 UTC
I love The Wider Context to my classic frame. To be clear, the classic frame is 35mm as on a frame of film and digital sensor - this means using a 35mm Lens and learning how to work it. I love the classic 35mm Lens - my visual field of…

The Perfect Lens
2022-05-04 12:21:53 UTC
It has taken me a while to discover this. Henri Cartier said my first 10,000 images will be my worst. I think I have clocked that number of images since 2013. I feel confident now in my choice of Lens: 28mm - 35mm - 50mm - 70mm & 85mm Lets…

As the golden light cast across her face I thought this would be an ideal moment to create a photo. This is how I roll as a photographer. I seek the magic in the Light and where it falls.My friend looks beautiful and I told her so and she loves…

Visual Growth

It was very complex once I started. The 18-105mm was my Lens - I used it on my D90 in 2013. The X-Pro 1 was released the year before. I had no idea what I was doing. When I look at my images today, I am astonished and greatfull. I’m…

Five Paces & Create
2021-09-12 22:06:17 UTC
I walk five paces Stop. I start scanning my surroundings looking for where the light is falling. Repeat. This is an interesting visual training process, because I normally just walk until something catches my attention. Here, no. I am actively seeking, something. Light first. Colour. Texture . One exercise my…

Visual Poetry
2021-05-11 10:57:17 UTC
Visual Poetry & Philosophy: expression of Light. No light, no image. The original canvass was a backdrop of Black. Let there be Light; what a glorious moment. This was the beginning, the Genesis of all creation. The Birth of The Sun became a landmark event. Today, I can hold The…

The Joy of Seeing | Visual Maturity
2021-04-27 19:09:35 UTC
Visual Maturity is a phrase I heard my coach Bryan Petersen say on one of his workshops. It stuck in my mind. I gave this a lot of thought - VISUAL MATURITY. I understood the syntax but not entirely as applied to creating images initially. Slowly but surely it began…

2020 | Visual Artisry - Stairs
2020-05-14 18:35:07 UTC
I have a thing for Stairs. Don’t ask me why. Stairs speaks to my muse. My Visual Expression and Stairs get along just fine. I can’t really explain why. In Photographic terms, Stairs provide perfect leading lines to somewhere. Where? Not important, that’s for your imagination. For my expression, I…
