Which gift will improve your photography most this Christmas? A new £2,000+ camera? Or a £200 Photography Coaching Experience with a Professional Photographer and Instructor?

A better camera won’t make you a better photographer - any more than a better tennis racket will make you a better player, a better car will make you a better driver, or some better saucepans make you a better cook!

You need lessons / coaching for that

If you’ve never yet had a go at Macro/Close-up Photography, you may be missing out on seeing a whole new world that you probably didn’t even know existed!

Is post-processing your photos on a computer ‘cheating’? Or are the ‘Straight out of Camera’ images more authentic?

If you want to learn something, is it really best to go to a professional ‘Doer’? Or a professional ‘Teacher’?

If you’ve ever wondered what are the ‘best settings’ to use for a particular subject or scenario (or camera), this blog post is for you!

Get it right, first time, every time - through understanding rather than memory!

Image copies can now be just as good as the original photograph, but it wasn’t always that way…

In short, NO!

The belief that digital photos should be free (or only a few pence) is by far the biggest threat to to having a professional photographer working at your next event.

My photography journey started with an equal passion for motorsport - mostly car rallying.

Autofocus hadn’t been invented and it was manual exposure only, with my Nikon FM2, but I still have some of my favourite images on 35mm film…

Will you ‘nail it’? Or will your camera ‘fail it’?

Will that ‘once in a lifetime’ photo opportunity just be a ‘record shot’ on social media and your phone, or a 30x20 canvas on your wall?

… It looks like we may be able to run Photography Workshops again from next week!
