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.

Enormous eyeballs, a 1,700-year-old martyrdom, 12-foot Roman soldiers and bishops wilting in 30-degree heat. The annual St Albans Alban Day Pilgrimage is one of the most visually extraordinary community events in Hertfordshire, and one of the most underserved photographically. Here's what it looked like in 2025.

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.

Ian Henderson of The Pink Elephant makes charcuterie boxes that look as extraordinary as they taste. Here is how personal branding photography and food photography work together to tell the full story of a creative food business in St Albans.

I wanted one photograph that showed everything: the chaos, the effort, the mad energy of an obstacle race ramp. The single frame was never going to do it. So I built one instead. Here is how composite photography, a camera strap and a World War Z reference produced the image I was after.

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.
