This week I was invited to talk to the Network Leaders who volunteer for Shine Cancer Support , about how to tell stories through photography to help them create more useful and more engaging social media and marketing content in a manner that wouldn't get in the way of engaging with the events themselves.

We talked about narrative arcs, framing for text, and were witnesses to the Great Tote Bag Heist!

This week has all gone a bit ‘meta’ as I find myself colour grading a photo of someone that is, in turn, colour grading a video.

In this post I share a little of my process for retouching and colour grading images and how adding or removing colour impacts the story an image is trying to convey.

‘Forever Autumn’ took JIm Henson’s Labyrinth and the old brick wall of a local park as inspiration for an image representing the frustrating lack of control children had during lockdown.

In this post I talk through the discovery process that led to the idea for the shoot and the design and colour theory that was applied to it.
