Tate Gallery Reopens After Lockdown: A Photography Playground
The Tate Gallery reopens this week after a four-month closure due to the pandemic. Actually, all Tate galleries across the UK. I’m very happy this is finally happening, not just as a Tate member but also as an art lover and photographer. The Tate, specifically the Tate Modern, is a massive playground for all London-based street photographers. Its architecture may not appeal to everyone. I, for one, am not necessarily a fan...

Comet Neowise over London
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, that’s what photographing Comet Neowise over London (or anywhere else, really) is! I’m not going to dive into too many descriptions of the event. I’m sure you all know about it by now.This is a once-in-a-lifetime event because the comet was only discovered last March, and it won’t be visible again for another 7000 years (seven thousand!). You still have plenty of time to witness it, as it will...

My Favourite Recipe For Black And White Photography
What do I mean by a recipe for Black and White photography? Fujifilm photographers should be familiar with the concept of recipes already. For everybody else, it is a combination of in-camera settings that allows, among other things, to recreate the effects of old analogue films. Something that Fujifilm is very passionate about, having created some of the most spectacular colour films in the good old years. Frankly, I don’t know if...

Street Photography in Harsh Light
In this week’s YouTube video, I walked the streets of London for some Street Photography in harsh light conditions. Oftentimes, photographers say that the best time for Photography is during the so-called Golden Hour (right after sunrise and before sunset) or Blue Hour (the dim light before sunrise and after sunset). While these bring plenty of good-quality light, they are not necessarily the ONLY times to go out and take photos. Particularly...

Black Lives Matter
A lot has already been said about the recent events that forced everybody to take to the streets and support the Black Lives Matter movement. Myself, I have fought racism at every chance in my everyday life. Even as a young Designer, my first feature in a prestigious book was for an anti-racism poster I designed. It’s not even something I think about; it’s just who I am. And it’s due to...

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...

Post-Lockdown Street Photo Challenge: Chinatown POV
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...
