EXPLORING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN DOGS AND ART
LEAD OR NO LEAD?
If you've ever visited my portfolio, or flicked through a few of my journal entries, you might be left wondering how all of these dogs are so well trained and able to be allowed off-lead! You might even be feeling a bit disheartened, thinking "there's no way my dog...
PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: KEEPSAKE PRINT BOX
As much as I love big beautiful framed artwork, not everybody has the space for a 30″x20″ portrait on their living room wall! Bigger isn't always better - in fact, a smaller alternative can often be just as impactful, in the right space. No matter what size you...
UNDERSTANDING YOUR SUBJECT: ‘SPEAKING DOG’
I was recently asked by the Master Photographers Association to write an article for their magazine around the importance of understanding dogs, as a photographer. This is a subject that's very close to my heart, and something I could waffle on about for hours, so...

ANIMALS IN NEED: CAN A PHOTO SAVE A LIFE?
Imagine having to leave your home. Imagine leaving your friends and family and your everyday life behind. Imagine being thrown into a world full of strange people, unfamiliar smells and sounds, and surroundings unlike anything you've ever seen before. Imagine not...
QUALIFYING AS A MASTER PHOTOGRAPHER
I need to start with a confession. When I first became a photographer, I told myself that I didn't need validation or approval from anybody, especially not an organisation or qualifying body. My time at university had left me feeling jaded, and I'd be damned if I was...
DISPLAYING YOUR ARTWORK IN YOUR HOME
For many of my clients, their biggest struggle is figuring out what to do with their photos after our session. There's a growing culture these days for saving photos onto a USB with the intention of working that part out later. Don't get me wrong, there are times when...
