Regular readers will have noticed that it’s been a bit quiet around here lately. I’ve had a busy few weeks – we’ve moved back to New Zealand after spending six months in Shanghai and are looking for a new place to live, I’m working on three new eBooks at the same time, plus my other work commitments. I’m also planning a new series of articles for this blog called Inside EOS – all about how to get the best out of your EOS camera. I’m going to expand the range of EOS specific eBooks that are available on this website (Understanding DPP is the first) and the Inside EOS articles will be a complimentary resource.

He leads photographic workshops; and for the last five years has posted over 400 Podcasts on his website. Where he gets the energy from I’ve no idea. But one thing’s for sure – if you have any ambition to make a living as a photographer you need to read this interview. Martin’s story of how he built a photography career is a valuable lesson for anyone who desires to turn professional. Read the rest of this entry »

Regular readers will know by now that I’m a big advocate of the square format (see the previous post for some inspiration). Red Ognita approached me a few weeks ago and I liked his work so much that I asked him to take part in an interview. Red is based in Beijing and has some beautiful black and white photos taken in China and other Asian countries. Read the rest of this entry »
