More than once I have said that the relation with models is one of the most important things you, as photographer, should look for during a session. You should already know your stuff about lighting, knowing how to change settings on your camera and so on without losing touch with [...]

My First Cover!

Everything started few days after this year’s Notting Hill Carnival. Well, to be honest everything started during the carnival, when I took a photo of two girls dancing on the streets of Notting Hill.

Some weeks ago I bought a book about starting a career in photography. I think that exploring new possible careers that makes you proud and happy is always a good thing. The book is called “Starting your career as a freelance photographer” and I was quite undecided if buying it or [...]

Photography Workshop in London, any suggestions?

I am looking for something that would broaden my experience, but I am quite peeky in what I am looking for. I have found one workshop that can [...]
