How to take amazingly atmospheric photographs

In my latest blog post for Autographer, ten professional photographers, including myself, explain how to create amazingly atmospheric imagery.

Here’s my tip:

Try shooting wide to show the atmosphere of a place and the whole picture instead of isolating details.

Shooting from a distance, and also from a high vantage point, gives the viewer a real taste of the city of Havana.

How to print photos from your phone published on TechRadar.com

main -580-90With both iPhone and Android devices now featuring excellent cameras, most of us have the means to take photos any time we choose – and as a result document our lives more than ever before.

To a certain extent, improvements in smartphone camera technology have killed the need for a compact camera. That’s great news for us consumers, because it’s one fewer gadget to buy and carry, but what about prints?

It’s great to be able to email photos straight from your phone or share on social media sites but – call us sentimental if you like – you just can’t beat having your most memorable moments immortalised in physical, papery form. In this in depth tutorial for TechRadar.com I show readers how. Click here to take a look.
