Interview with Lucia Griggi: Surf & Ocean Photographer

To say that Lucia Griggi has an enviable lifestyle is a bit like saying Jimi Hendrix was ‘good’ at playing the guitar. Lucia’s made her dreams a reality, courtesy of good old hard work and determination. She relocated from Cornwall to California in 2010, but spends most of her year globetrotting – whilst photographing surfing, surf lifestyle and wildlife in some of the most beautiful locations around the world. Her client list includes Roxy, Vans, Red Bull, Land Rover and National Geographic, amongst others. Most impressively however, is the freshness and energy she brings to her photography; she has a genuinely rare talent for emerging the viewer in a picture, as if you were there with her. Read my interview interview with Lucia here, over at Autographer.

An ultimate list of human emotions captured in photographs

I enjoy looking at photographs as much as I enjoy taking them. I often find that the most beautiful images are often the ones capturing the strongest emotion. After all, human emotion is something we all experience every day of our lives. Here, in a blog post for Autographer, I bring you a selection of images that span from jumping for joy to despairing in humanity itself. Grab a cup of coffee and take a look at the images I’ve selected here – prepare to be moved.

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:

Capture the whole picture

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.
