Photography
A practical journal on photography, covering camera technique, composition, and real-world shooting, along with detailed Lightroom and Photoshop workflows. This is where I share experience-driven insight built from years in the field and in post-processing—how images are captured, refined, and prepared for print, and the decisions that shape a photograph from the moment of exposure to the final finished piece.
Insight
Canadian Photographers You Should Know About
Canadian photography includes strikingly different ways of looking at people, land and built spaces. I introduce photographers including Yousuf Karsh, Edward Burtynsky, Fred Herzog and Lynne Cohen, alongside historical perspectives, emerging work and resources for exploring the country's photographic community.
Who Owns the Copyright of a Photograph? A Clear Guide for Creatives
A photograph is creative work as well as an image file or print. I introduce the copyright questions photographers encounter, including ownership, commissioned work, licensing, registration and infringement, explaining why understanding those questions matters when sharing work and earning a living.
What is Print on Demand?
Print-on-demand lets artists sell products made after an order arrives. I explain how the model works, its benefits and trade-offs, and what to consider when choosing a provider, including print quality, costs, shipping, store integration and the handling of problems.
Best Lenses for Landscape Photography When Traveling
Travelling light makes me think carefully about which lenses earn their place in the bag. I compare wide-angle, mid-range and telephoto choices for landscapes, looking at perspective, reach, weight and practical trade-offs when choosing equipment for the scenes you hope to photograph.
Workshops & Training
My photography workshops centre on exploring real places and learning to see with intention. I outline that approach alongside personal mentorship and Lightroom training, with ways to hear about future opportunities or discuss the technical and creative questions in your own work.
What is ISO in photography?
ISO is one of the settings I adjust as light and movement change around me. I introduce its place in exposure, explore the trade-offs involving noise and detail, and discuss practical choices for different subjects, from tripod landscapes to handheld street photography.
How to Shoot Street Photography
Street photography involves reading a scene and deciding how to move within it. I explore observation, timing, smaller equipment and focusing techniques, alongside the balance between remaining unobtrusive and engaging with people when that interaction becomes part of the photograph.
Walking and Creative Thinking
Walking can give a stalled idea somewhere to go. I explore research on movement and creative thinking, along with practical reasons to make space for a walk, and consider how a simple change of pace can fit into a working day.
How to improve creativity
Creativity is something I make room for through habits as well as inspiration. I explore attention, routines, time alone and new experiences, considering how everyday choices and a supportive environment can help ideas develop without making every moment a test of originality.
How To Use Images To Help Improve Your Social Media Marketing
A useful social image needs to connect with the people seeing it. I explore profile photographs, blog images, memes and infographics, with ideas for choosing visual content that supports a message and gives readers a reason to notice, remember or share it.
Ghost Towns in USA
Ghost towns offer different traces of the industries and communities that once sustained them. I gather locations across the United States with historical context and approximate coordinates, providing starting points for exploring mining settlements, preserved streets and other remnants of earlier lives.
Mastering the Rules of Composition in Photography for Stunning Images
Composition gives me ways to organise what a photograph asks you to notice. I explore lines, shapes, balance, aspect ratio and visual storytelling, treating familiar guidelines as tools to practise and adapt rather than instructions that settle every creative decision.
