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.
Today I thought I'd chat about my favourite photography books in my collection, but it was very hard to narrow it down!You've probably seen the bookshelf in the background on my videos and possibly some blog photographs. As I spent six years studying photography, it will come as no surprise that most of these books were accumulated during that time, either to help with essays or as gifts from family members.
On Friday, I met my friend Natasha in the city centre. She'd been invited to get a makeover at Charlotte Tilbury and I offered to take some photographs for her.
Recently I've worked with two bloggers: Olivia Cheryl and Charline Has A Blog. I'm really happy with the images and wanted to share them over here!
I've loved the website Humans of New York for a few years now, so I was delighted when my sister got me the second book, 'Humans of New York: Stories' by Brandon Stanton. If you're unfamiliar with the blog, Stanton interviews and photographs complete strangers and puts their images and words online.
