Wedding photography cover feature in Turning Pro magazine

A wedding is a special event for all involved, and children are no exception. In fact, when it comes to creating a wedding album packed full of candid and interesting recollections of the day, children often prove the most natural subjects. I spoke to three photographers: Kristian Leven, Georgi Mabee and Robert Lawler, and discovered various techniques to taking candid, natural shots of children at weddings which really capture the essence of the day. This 12-page feature has been published in this month’s (July 2011) Turning Pro magazine.

Photo Editing tutorial published in Windows: The Official Magazine

Everyone takes pictures of people, but only by editing them can you achieve perfect portraits to be proud of. The good news is you don’t need expensive photo editing software to make effective adjustments, Windows Live Photo Gallery is perfectly capable. A few quick adjustments enable you to crop your shots for compositions with impact, banish red-eye, remove blemishes, correct colour casts and even exposure – pretty good for free. I show Windows: The Official Magazine readers how to perfect their portraits…

The New Wave of Wedding Photography – feature in Turning Pro Magazine

There’s been a shift in wedding photography recently, which sees photographers experimenting with composition, moving away from formal wedding shots to let their images tell a different story. For this feature, published in Turning Pro magazine, I spoke to four wedding photographers; Allister Freeman, Simon Gilbert, Helen Evans and Mark Carey, who are embracing this new style, taking their influences from contemporary art photography and reportage to see wedding photography in a new light.

Panasonic Lumix FT3 review published on T3.com

I spent some of last week out in the Spring sunshine putting Panasonic’s new super tough Lumix FT3 camera through it’s paces at the beach. The 12.1 MP compact has a feature-set which should really appeal to adrenalin junkies and extreme sports types – it’s dustproof, waterproof to 12 meters, shockproof to 2 meters and freezproof to -10 degrees. There’s also full HD Movie recording and a great GPS function. Does it take good pictures though? Click here to read my review and find out…
