Looking to discover the quirky, hidden side of St Albans through your lens?
After 23 years of living here, I’ve uncovered some truly unexpected photo spots that go beyond the usual cathedral and park shots. From an arrow on a 17th-century almshouse to medieval graffiti etched into the stone of the Abbey, this historic city is bursting with curious corners and untold stories.

Join me behind the lens at the 29th Harpenden Lions Highland Gathering, a vibrant Scottish-themed day out full of caber tossing, pipe bands, and pure community spirit. From heavy events to haggis hurling, discover why this local favourite is a photographer’s dream and a must-visit family event.

We set off on a 1,500-mile Scottish road trip in search of storms, mist, and moody skies, instead, we found endless blue and blazing sun. From distillery drams in Stirling to almost Caribbean sands at Morar, our journey was full of surprises (and sunburns!). Join us as we share the unexpected magic of Scotland in bright, postcard-perfect weather, a trip that proved sometimes the best stories come from plans that don’t go quite as planned.

I swapped my usual kit for 10 very different cameras, from a big mirrorless to a quirky Polaroid, to see how each would change my approach. The results? Playful, surprising and a big reminder that it’s not about the gear – it’s about the joy of creating.

Real life isn’t posed and your photos shouldn’t be either. Celebrate Fathers Day, the small, honest moments of fatherhood with documentary family photography.

A bright April ferry crossing from Oban to Mull became a visual playground of bold colour, shadow and shape. Inspired by design and driven by instinct, I captured abstract moments from the journey, blending photography with a graphic designer’s eye.

What started as a simple obstacle race photo turned into a creative challenge – how do you capture the feeling of chaos in one frame? With no tripod, just a compact camera and some patience, I created a composite image that tells a bigger, more dramatic story. Here’s how I did it.

Creativity isn't about getting it perfect the first time, it's about experimenting, learning, and refining along the way. Inspired by a quote from Atomic Habits by James Clear, this post explores how treating failure like a scientist can transform your mindset as a photographer or creative. Every mistake is a clue, every attempt a step forward, you're not failing, you're refining.

While on holiday in the Scottish Highlands, I captured a dramatic mountain rescue as a helicopter hovered above an old stone bridge—just moments after the pilot waved me off it to avoid the intense downdraught. With only a point-and-shoot camera and no time to think, I got the shot… just before falling over a boulder mid-frame. A reminder that photography is all about presence, not perfection.

While out running through the countryside, I stumbled on a surreal little scene – a pile of road signs pointing in all directions, abandoned in the long grass. It made me stop and reflect on how inspiration often comes from the most unexpected places. This post is a reminder that creative detours are sometimes the most rewarding part of the journey.
