Hello friends, I have had an intense feeling of nostalgia the past few weeks. Maybe it is because my son has left home for school or maybe it is the change in the seasons. It is very hard to tell with these types of emotions. It got me thinking about […]
Hey friends, One of my most successful shots of 2020 was also one of the easiest I made during that year. Living by the sea on the south coast of Spain is very peaceful and beautiful, but being on the edge of the sea also brings tempestuous weather. Like most […]
“How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun.” Vincent Van Gogh Today I want to dive into a lesson all about colour. I have already done articles on the colours purple and blue and one exploring many different colours. I love to photograph colour, and am always ready to […]
I look at many people’s photographs and I’ve noticed that how people take photos is in direct correlation to how they live their day to day lives. This may not sound like a startlingly profound fact but, put simply: your personality can create the biggest barrier to achieving interesting and […]
Today many of us in the world are in the flux of the feeling of uncertainty and fear. Justified or unjustified fear, to me that is not the point.
Hello good people, This is Diana and today I am standing in for Anthony as he is deep into teaching our workshop in Vietnam. It’s got off to an amazing start, and the group are loving the experience. I am always learning things from Anthony about being a creative person, […]
Greetings, How is everyone on this fine day? I hope life is good and your camera is getting to see some fascinating things. I agree with the great writer E.B. White when he said “Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder.” This is what we can use […]

A few years ago BBC World made a beautiful 4 minute video about Anthony shooting cities at dawn. I think no-one has made a better film of Anthony talking about the beauty of photographing (and witnessing) the incredible beauty of sunrise. BBC – Casting new light on old […]
“Color is joy. One does not think joy. One is carried by it.” Ernst Haas Today I want to focus on how we can use colour in our composition, and I am going to focus on the colour purple to tell some stories and share some ideas with you that […]
I’ve had a many cameras in my 36 plus years as a photographer. I started with a Pentax K1000 – a brilliant camera – then I moved on to my beautiful Hassleblad – and many Canon’s. The cameras come and go, either from wear and tear or the demands of […]
My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph. Richard Avedon Hello everyone, I hope life is good. We are settling into the lovely town of Chefchaouen in the Rif mountains of Morocco. We’ll be here for a few weeks as we love it so […]
This is a photo from my workshop last week. The busyness of a city like Hong Kong gives you so many opportunities to play with long exposures. Good day to you, I hope life is really super good, and that you are happy, nourished, enjoying life in all the many […]
