I believe the job of a photographer is to tell a story with the images they take. But sometimes my photographic adventures have stories that go beyond the camera, and I enjoy writing about them.
The posts below are a mixture of those adventures, combined with tutorials on lighting and printing, and all are designed to make photography more accessible to those with a shared interest in creating impactful images.
Gran Canaria. A photographic adventure.
I arrived at Gran Canaria airport late on Saturday afternoon on a flight from London. It was March 2nd and I had left behind a British winter that seemed to never run out of rain so the heat of this Spanish island was a welcome respite. Somewhere in the arrivals hall was Cristina, my model and traveling companion for the next week, who had also just arrived from Rome.
We had been chatting about this trip for the past two months but had never met before. We shared selfies via WhatsApp so as to be easier to identify in the busy airport. Cristina was born in the Ukraine, but has lived in Italy for the past nine years and to my untrained ear sounded more Italian.
