It’s no secret that I have a lot of clients with their own blogs or YouTube channels, and in most cases it’s the first time they’ve worked with a professional photographer. It can a little daunting to have a stranger pointing a DSLR at you when you’re used to your mum or significant other taking your photos. What are you supposed to wear? How do you pose? I appreciate that it might be overwhelming, so I thought I’d write this post or anyone who’s thinking of investing in a photoshoot soon… and no, it doesn’t have to be with me! (But, you know, I’m pretty good. Just saying.)
Hi, I'm Alice, and I really like cameras. Photography is seriously expensive - whether you consider it a hobby, or a career. I'm lucky enough to already have most of the equipment I could possibly need, but when you're using a camera that's a few years old it's easy to start eyeing up the newer models.
I think we can all agree that 2017 was a bit crap... but at least we got some good makeup out of it. Here are my favourite drugstore picks from last year.
You've probably heard about the Sigma 30MM f/1.4 Lens already, because I go on about it all the damn time. But what makes it good - and worth the hefty price tag? Let's talk about why this is such a great investment for bloggers, Instagram users, photographers, and vloggers...
I never thought I'd be writing a post like this, because from the age of 22 my dream was to be a "YouTuber". But I just don't love YouTube anymore. Back in 2012, I had just started a Masters Degree, and was overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. YouTube was (or at least felt like) a safe place for me to escape.
When I went to stay in Belgium, Charline said that we had to have a day trip to Brussels, and I'm so glad she did.We saw some classic attractions, walked around in the sun, and took a lot of photographs. I was lucky enough to have Charline showing me around and she knew all the places that were worth visiting.
I visited the C-mine in Genk with Charline during my trip to Belgium. These beautiful buildings are former coal mines that were turned into creative hubs in the early 2000's. It's hard to put into words just how massive everything is, but if you've ever wondered how Alice in Wonderland felt after she ate a mushroom and shrank, wandering around the C-mine is probably going to be a very similar experience.
During my recent visit to Belgium, I spent the day in Antwerp with my friends/tour guides Charline and Fred. It's a beautiful city, and I quickly understood why Charline loved to visit so much. There's so much to see and do there, even if you're on a budget - but somehow we managed to cram in all these sights while walking nearly 20,000 steps and battling the rain.
