Ten Thousand Hours Photography
10,000 Hours Deliberate Practice Learning the Art of Photography
At first sight, time lapse photography is easy. You can do a time lapse on a smart phone over the course of a few hours, or over a few days using a GoPro. However, a multi-year time lapse throws up a whole new set of problems.

Som Tam House, a boutique Thai restaurant in Shepherds Bush, commissioned me to provide some imagery for a new website. This is my first attempt at commercial food photography. Although I have shot a lot of food on a casual basis and watched a lot of professional food photography YouTubes.

Reflections on a day as the sole photographer of an important event, photographing royalty.
[Read more…]Arguably the best way of learning architectural photography, is to actually do it. The scariest way of learning architectural photography is to get paid for a real assignment. I achieved the later through a friend who runs a building company specialising in high-end residential property. Some commercial properties, but mainly multi-mi££ion “Grand Designs” style contemporary new-build or conversions.
Back in January when I was “shooting the shoot” for the Larsen Syndicate, one of the guns explained that he wasn’t particularly happy with the photographers he had used in the past, and we discussed the possibility of me doing some work for him. He insisted that he would pay me; a good idea all round, but nothing happened for 7 months. Then I received a phone call asking if I might like to photograph a house they had worked on. This turned into two houses, and the promise of other work including more properties, a company shoot and a time lapse of a major project. All before I had actually done anything.
Having never shot houses before, I had to learn fast. I purchased an FStoppers on-line course from Mike Kelley and set about practising on my own home, as above.
