Between January 2000 and June 2008 I posted a large number of technique examples taken from my daily work to show how I used light in an era where digital cameras were pretty poor at ISOs over 800 or even 400 in the case of the venerable Kodak DCS520. These days flash is a creative choice rather than a technical necessity but the techniques still stand up.

 

 

Over the past few years I have written a short series of essays about photography in general and about my work in particular. I have really enjoyed the freedom of being my own editor and have published them a selection of them under the heading "Opinion", so if you are interested - sit back, get yourself a drink and read on...

How we refer to ourselves and our fellow photographers has something in common with butterflies beating their wings in China. What am I talking about?

Getting 200 photographers together to produce a book and exhibition was never going to be an easy task, but the BPPA is a long way down the road to achieving just that.

If you have a question that you would like me to write an "opinion" about then please e-mail me with it and I'll see what I can do. In the mean time listed below are the topics covered in previous months. They represent thoughts that I had, and topics I wanted to give voice to at the time. Once they are on-line they aren't edited so each one is of it's time.
