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.
I'm six months into my New Year's Resolution, which was to believe in myself. I was very optimistic about suddenly changing a lifetime's worth of negative thinking at the start of the year, though once I actually started I found it surprisingly difficult. It wasn't until I started taking antidepressants in February that I noticed a difference in my way of thinking.
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing when it comes to makeup. To be honest, it's a miracle that I manage to look presentable at all - but for some reason, my makeup tutorials are quite popular and apparently a few of you missed them. To be honest, I get it, I love watching makeup tutorials as well (it's the whole reason I started watching YouTube videos, actually). So here's a nice, minimal one for Summer that anyone can do... even me.
I already had the Makeup Revolution Ultra Bronze in my collection, despite never wearing bronzer. (One of the perks of being a makeup hoarder, I guess.) This is definitely the easiest bronzer you will ever come across. Even a beginner like me can use it.
I've had my Fujifilm Instax Mini camera for years (just in case you can't tell by the state of it). I bought it second hand from eBay in my second year of university, and we've seen a lot together in that time.
