We have the pictures, now we need to import them onto a computer, make sure they are safeguarded by backing them up and pick which ones we will edit!

The southern Indian costal state of Kerala is known as "gods own country", and when you visit, the lush and vibrant landscape reflects this. The back-waters of Kerala are a series of brackish lagoons inland from the Arabian see. This wetland paradise is great for birding, as i discovered when i visited, and you can also spot other creatures too! :) Here are a selection of my pictures for you! :)

I have previously interviewed the brains behind JungleDragon, a FREE wildlife photography website that I personally enjoy. They are currently running a competition with $250 of prizes up for grabs! You should all check it out! It ends on 30th December 2015, so be quick about it! :) Good luck!

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!

You know where you are going and what you want to shoot, you’ve got all your gear ready and packed; now you have to actually get the shots! Here is a video of the shoot, and under that some tips for you to keep at hand to make sure you get as much as you can from a shoot!

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! :)

Part 2 of my "from start to finish" series, taking you through the planning, execution and processing of one of my shoots!

So, you know where you are going, and what you want to shoot (see #1 A shot list & location), you now need to pack and prepare accordingly!

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! 

Ok, it's that time of the year again, and you might well be thinking of gifts for this special people in your life. If, by chance, they happen to be photographers, here are some gift ideas that just might be useful.

These images where shot over a weekend at Sinharaja Forest Reserve is a national park and a biodiversity hotspot in Sri Lanka. It was a fantastic place and one I would love to go back and spend more time there!

Photographs are 2-dimensional, but how sometimes you look at them, and they almost appear to be 3D. This is because in the 2D space of the image, the depth of the scene is also portrayed. Now generally, this is associated with expensive lenses, but you can give your images more depth by using some of the following tricks!

Back in 2011, I spent a very brief 40 hours in Istanbul...  with such little time, it was a rather manic trip, but in such a fantastic and vibrant city, it was difficult not to produce some memorable images. This was towards the beginning of my photographic journey, but i always like to go back and re-asses my images. Where I started, what would I have done different now, and what can i learn from them. So, i hope you enjoy this look back into my earlier works. :)
