Hi, you and me both then!

Hi, if you’re on a tablet or smartphone, then you have a plethora of apps to choose from. I like Adobe’s Lightroom (the mobile variant for tablets/smartphones). I also like Enlight. For editing on a computer you have more control but the first thing you need to do is make sure your screen is colour calibrated - if it…

Hi there!

Hi! Marketing is, in my opinion, one of the hardest things to do as a photographer. The most successful (assuming you measure success by financial gain) are often not the best photographers, but are brilliant marketers.

Hi! Shooting motorsport is always a challenge and has quite a big learning curve to it. On a bright, sunny day you’re always going to have harsh light bouncing off the cars - these specular highlights are not something worry about overly. If you want to make the colours richer and remove some of the reflections, then…

It’s not your fault if you don’t look good in pictures - both subject and photographer have to work together to achieve good images! Though if you think you look like a flounder, I’m sure that’s subjective and others won’t think so!

Hi! The 50mm f/1.8 lens is a great focal length to get yourself going. On your D50, it will have the same field of view as an 80mm lens so will lend itself very well to portrait shooting.

White Balance can be a tricky thing to get right, especially in artificial lighting. Most digital cameras, and indeed many mobile phones, now offer the ability to change the White Balance before shooting the picture. In daylight you’ll find cameras tend to do pretty well, but tungsten and fluorescent can be a…

Hi Shayne, the secret is to build a rapport with them. Talk to them, make them feel at ease, make them forget about the camera. It can be a test of patience for both photographer and model to work with people who feel they aren’t photogenic, but the rewards when they see an image they like make it worth it.

Hi there! Beyond the rule of thirds and the golden rule (the first actually being a simplification of the second) you can also look for leading lines to help draw the viewer’s eye in to your subject. This can be very powerful.

Hey Andy, thanks for having me! Well the simple answer is to get the flash off the camera where possible. An external flash that you can position someone other than directly on the lens axis will give better lighting to stop it looking like a police mug-shot and help avoid the dreaded red-eye, which is caused by light…
