News - How camera sensors works
For those of you who have not noticed that I am a geek... this should clinch it for you. The combination of science and photography in an informative video! Awesome! The guys at Filmmaker IQ made this great video explaining how camera sensors work... lots of science in it, but it is very well explained and easily digested. So I suggest you check them out, subscribe to their channel and all the rest of it too! :) Thanks, and enjoy!

Shoots - Baby photography
I am a strong advocate of learning all avenues of photography, as anything you learn in one (e.g. portraiture) can be directly apply to another (e.g. street) and will produce better overall images. I've always taken portraits, but it has never been my primary focus only dabbling from time to time. However, with the arrival of my son, Antoine, in June this year (2015), I have had the fantastic opportunity to do baby photography... this has then spilled over to shooting other peoples babies too. Here is a selection of my baby shoots! :)

I get asked how I do pretty much everything, so I have decided to share my process, from start to finish, of a shoot. In this example, it is a shoot I am doing at Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh, India.
The first step is to make a shot list and get your location sorted!
