London Street Photography in harsh light - in my bite-sized workshops
24th June 2020

Photography Workshops are Back!

You read it right: my Photography workshops are back. The lockdown measures are easing in the UK. This is finally allowing me to restart hosting my photography workshops. Shops are reopening, the safe distance is reduced to “1 metre plus”, and we can have gatherings of up to 6 people… We’re getting there. I’m not travelling yet, even though I desperately want to. Therefore, my engagements are limited to London for now....

Photoshop's Liquify Tool Brush Lag (Quick Fix)

After updating to Photoshop 2020, I needed to use the Liquify tool. Just for a quick retouch for an Instagram story. So, I launched Photoshop and opened the Liquify tool… And couldn’t use it. Moving the mouse, I could see the cursor jumping from one place on the screen to the other every 3-4 seconds. The lag between my hand movement and the response was so bad that it took me half...

Fujifilm X100V hands-on + Vlogging with the X-T4

As you may know, if you follow me on Instagram, I spent last weekend going out doing a full Fujifilm X100V hands-on test. And I vlogged with the X-T4 in the meantime. I’m actually excited because it is my first vlog on YouTube! Something I had procrastinated for soooooo long. I finally managed to launch my YouTube photography channel only a few weeks ago and now I published my first vlog! To...

I Almost Blew Up My WordPress With One Setting

I love WordPress. I have used it since it was called B2/Cafelog, probably around 2002. Then I used its public .com version for my successful food-blog and the self-hosted one for many of my clients, including big names like JP Morgan or Bank Of New York Mellon. According to the latest stats, in 2020 WordPress powers 35% of the entire Internet. It means it’s installed on just shy of 500 million websites....

The Art of Black and White exhibition

Different kind of post for a quick update to let you know I will participate in the Art of Black and White exhibition soon. :) I don’t publish too many black-and-white shots, but it is a genre I really enjoy. See my Oxford or Ripley galleries as well.And then there is Fine Art Architecture. Shooting long exposures and then editing in Photoshop takes time, but the results are often amazing. As it...

Rule Of Thirds, And How To Break It (Photography 101)

When you’ve been a photographer for many years, you give some knowledge for granted, and the Rule of Thirds is certainly among those. But as of today, this is still the most searched photography-related topic on Google. So maybe I should write about it. If there’s enough interest, I might cover more Photography basics. Let me know in the comments if it’s something you would like to see here. What is the...

How Fujifilm got me back into Photography

I'm often asked why I shoot Fujifilm, rather than maybe follow the latest trends on YouTube and go with Sony or any big DSLR... Trust is, it happened by chance. Here's how.

Prints for Sale! Finally!

Yes, prints are now on sale in my shop! You probably remember my post about what to expect from me this year (don’t worry if you don’t, here’s the link). So you know this was due. I started selling prints even before I established my photography business. The first time it happened, I had not planned for it at all. I posted my photo of the sunrise over the Haleakalā volcano in...

Coronavirus. Stay safe.

When I wrote my post about what to expect from me in 2020, coronavirus (Covid-19) had not yet made the news front pages. In these past few days, I took some time to reflect on the situation. On what it means for my business. This is still a work in progress, but some decisions are to be made. Since I began this journey as a professional photographer, travel has always been the...

Fujifilm X-T4 announced! Time to upgrade

The Fujifilm X-T4 is here! It’s official. In an event held in San Francisco last Wednesday, Fujifilm publicly introduced the new iteration of the X-T series.I currently own the X-T2 (2 of them), and I was in Tokyo on the day of the X-T3 launch. But I skipped that upgrade. I wasn’t shooting much video back then; therefore I didn’t need most updates of that version. I do video now and intend...
