Morning Metropolis As I mentioned in the previous image, Shanghai Looking Up, we arrived in Shanghai during a typhoon. I was able to shoot during brief breaks in the rain. Sometimes I had the luxury of sitting in a bar terrace with a cold beer, waiting for the rain to stop. Other times I was […]

Tron, Shanghai After getting directions off Simon Bond for the location you see above, we set off to scope it out. As soon as we arrived at the front door of the apartment block, a security guard emphatically said ‘you’re not getting up there’. I’d read that the locals were annoyed by the increasing number […]

Joining Instagram, Being 500px’s Guest Editor & A Photowalk I finally joined Instagram this week. I had considered joining sooner, but I honestly couldn’t bring myself to crop an image just for social media. I’m sure many would disagree, but we go so far to capture and create our images, carefully composing and cropping (lots […]

Time to upgrade some photography gear The next 12 months is going to be an extremely exciting time for me, photographically. I expect to be on the road for around 7-8 months, shooting in climates ranging from hot and dry to cool and wet. I decided that now’s the time to start upgrading/replacing/buying new gear […]

On Top of the Zenith Five attempts over the last year and a half to get on the roof of one of these buildings, and I finally managed it. It was worth the perseverance. I was a little bit worried about the conditions beforehand, as the government had issued high wind warnings. As we exited […]

For the past couple of months I’ve been reasonably absent from the Internet. One of the main reasons for that is Raya Pro. I can’t tell you how excited I am about this digital blending workflow panel. Since creating it, I haven’t stopped using Raya Pro in my workflow. I’ve even gone over old images […]

A Life Almost Without Internet Communication One of the wonderful things about social networks, like Facebook, is that we now have the ability to instantly connect with someone across the globe, who we may never have otherwise met. I feel very fortunate to be connected with many photographers online, some of whom I’ve met in […]

Korean Food Pleasures Having spent a lot of time in Asia, I’ve had the great fortune of sampling some very tasty, and not so tasty foods. In Thailand, for example, I had crocodile steak, which was very nice and tender. In Korea, I’ve developed a taste for some less likely foods. The strangest of which, […]

Things to come in the next 12 months and after Korea Rachel and I have been discussing the next phase in our lives, after we leave Korea in February 2016. We plan on heading straight to Australia and New Zealand for 3 months, for some incredible landscape photography. After that, we may finally buy a […]

Leaving Singapore for Melacca This morning I began the third and final leg of my photography trip, Malaysia. I’ve split with my companions and headed solo to Melacca to shoot the famous mosque here. When I arrived, my plans to scout the location were delayed slightly as the button on my pants (the crotch area), […]
