Post Lockdown Challenge London Chinatown Street Photography POV
18th June 2020

First day of shops reopening in the UK and I immediately went out for a post-lockdown Street Photo challenge in Chinatown.You can watch it unfold on my YouTube channel! :) Filming and editing for YouTube is so much fun. I really feel silly for having procrastinated for so long. I had always found plenty of excuses that, in the end, didn't matter at all. Yes, I'm nervous being on the other side...

Wordpress Problem Solved
28th May 2020

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....

Jökulsárlón
24th May 2020

Back with a Story Behind The Shot with Jökulsárlón, and also back in time. I shot this some years ago in a touristless Iceland, with a then-brand-new iPhone 6 Plus. That's right, no fancy camera, just what was always in my pocket. The Story Behind The Shot is a column I regularly send to all newsletter subscribers. It is now exclusive email content, no more sharing on this blog. So, if you...

Rule of Thirds - cover image
7th May 2020

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...

Fujifilm LUT Pack for OBS
4th May 2020

I created a Fujifilm LUT presets pack for OBS (or StreamLabs). You don't know OBS? OK, Let me explain… As you know, I recently started live streaming on YouTube . And I have been testing a few apps to help me with that. Once I settle for one solution, I may enthusiastically write (or stream) about that particular one. But for now, I'm only going to briefly mention all I know. OBS...

Prints for Sale - Haleakala volcano

Today's Story Behind The Shot at Haleakalā is about one of my absolute favourite photos.. After quitting my Creative Director job, I travelled around the world. In one instance, I literally travelled full circle moving East (and that's when I started this blog). It was a trip that gifted me with many experiences, memories and friendships. To start, it was my first time visiting East Asia, and getting in touch with a...
