Keep 'Em Coming: Fujifilm "Life As You See It" 2025 Award
The Fujifilm “Life As You See It” competition has just ended. Coincidentally, it showed that life has a funny way of coming full circle. There I was, scrolling through my emails last week, when I spotted something that made me do a proper double-take. An email from Fujifilm House of Photography with a subject line that made my heart skip: “Congratulations – Life As You See It 2025 Competition Results”. Second place....

In Search of Tom Ripley
Netflix’s “Ripley” isn’t just a show: it’s a visual feast in gorgeous monochrome. I am sure that by now, you have watched it or at least know about it from the many discussions online. The director’s choice to film in black-and-white seems to have divided opinions, as is the case with almost everything these days. But to me, the absence of colour creates a world of stark contrasts, highlighting the psychological depths...

Dancing with the Moon: A Celestial Soirée
I recently asked an AI, in this case Microsoft’s Copilot AI, to produce a creative blog post to promote my new Full Moon Photography workshops in London. The result was, at times, both hilarious and poetic, so I decided to publish this anyway. Though it may not be all made-up nonsense: in fact, the band Pearl Jam decided to turn into music and lyrics the same Super Blood Wolf Moon I had...

Society6 Changes: A Creator's Perspective (with a Silver Lining)
For many artists, myself included, Society6 has been a fantastic platform to showcase and sell our work. It’s a brilliant concept – taking our designs and transforming them into a vibrant array of everyday items. From prints to stationary, from phone cases to tapestries. However, as with any evolving platform, changes are afoot, and Society6 recently introduced a tiered subscription system for creators. While this might raise some eyebrows, particularly for those...
