Photoshoots for the Photo-Shy
If you’re anything like me then, despite living in the social media age, you’re probably inexperienced when it comes to photoshoots. I’m talking genuine, no filter, photos not taken on your iPhone. And it can be a little bit scary. So how do you capture engagement and wedding photos that you’ll be able to cherish for years to come, when you aren’t exactly comfortable with your picture being taken in the first place?

The Invaluable Beauties of Tucson, Arizona
“Home is where the heart is." Well, I’m not saying that’s not true. But I think there is more to home than that. Home has been something slightly unstable for me most of my life. In twenty-one years, I have moved fifteen times. How am I supposed to determine where my hometown is?

Everyday Atlanta
As a native of Atlanta,GA, I have spent the last 3 years using my photojournalism practice to highlight and celebrate the narratives of the everyday working class Black American in my hometown. The vainness of society has made us to believe that material assets, social status, and professions are the determinants of value. My work combats this by celebrating the everyday man on woman on their journey through the American system. This work is a celebration of the beautiful souls I’ve come across in my neighborhood who add value to this world simply by existing. The working class Black American is the fabric to the culture of Atlanta. These photographs serve as the liaison to showcase the natural elegance, grace, and cool that we naturally exude. And a love letter to my neighborhood.

Photographerlife. Or not. . Top Story - January 2021.
So, I'm a photographer. A pro, a professional. Someone who gets paid for their work. (Often the only difference between a pro and and none pro is Public Liability insurance and a tax return. Having that 'Pro' status doesn't make anyone better than anyone else. I'm under no illusion! )

A Longing and Near Disabling Affinity for Home
Anyone that knows me is aware of my longing and near disabling affinity for nostalgia. A story for another time—but for an extreme example—I literally have a 90s video store museum I built in my spare bedroom. To anyone who will listen to me ramble—though there are not many—I constantly say that we are long past our prime as a society. Sure maybe in certain social aspects have progressed, but in a lot of ways I feel we’ve become more emotional and less mature. Combining that with the insane influx of technology that has flooded our lives over the past twenty years, often makes me retreat to my video store and leave my cell phone outside of it. Instead I have over 200 VHS tapes or a PS2 with tons of games, or maybe I can just read a comic book and escape. It’s important to me, nostalgia and the places that surround the good memories. You see it isn’t just the object—like an old toy or VHS tape—that brings me nostalgia, but the place. So I have these very deep and unexplainable bonds to places that have served as the base for some of my happiest memories. So in asking myself why have I lived in St. Augustine, Florida for so long—22 years out of my 26—do I continue to remain? The answer—I think—can be found in the following photos.

First photo shoot of 2021.
Wake up. It was 6am and my alarm was buzzing, I have a Fitbit that I use as an alarm, instead of some horrible loud noise I get a gentle vibration on my wrist, it really is a great way to wake up, plus I set it to wake me when I am at my lightest sleep so I wake up easier and feel better when I do. Despite having to leave in half an hour I was sluggish to say the least.

How I Lost My DRONE in the Lake!
If you're a videographer like myself who loves new gear (let's be real, who doesn't?) and want to be able to diversify your portfolio with different shots and angles, buying a drone seems like an amazing idea and investment... but it comes at a cost.

Importance of a test shoot.
Recently I was contacted to do a shoot at the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens, which as it turns out I have never been to. I'm sure we have all been to Mt Cootha Botanic Gardens but how many of you have been to the Alice St ones? This shoot was booked for a Thursday afternoon at 5pm and being that I have never been and its location I decided I should probably go and check it out and do a test shoot.

7 Film Photography YouTube Channels . Top Story - January 2021.
In the timeworn trial of digital vs. analog, let's finally have that (tiny) piece of cake and eat it too: film photographers are not only actively embedding their work on Instagram, blogs, and other online platforms, they are also quite generously sharing their process and educating fellow amateur photographers on youtube.
