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.
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.
Last week, I went to Leeds to hang out with the gorgeous Rachel from Full Flourish. We've known each other since we had a few hundred subscribers between us, and now her channel is really growing and I couldn't be happier for her.
I travel to Leeds quite a lot as most of my mother's side of the family live over there, but believe it or not I've never actually walked around the city.
