Portrait Photography + Chickens = NAT GEO emailing me Pictures On My Mind 2025-09-29 | In 2010 National Geographic Magazine emailed me, they had discovered my portrait photography and wanted my photographs of chickens and people for a feature. It was a landmark moment in my career. In today's video I talk about the unassuming portrait of a friend taken on a 1955 medium format film camera in 2002 that led me to the pages of National Geographic Magazine and, in turn, kick started my entire career. The photograph was of my friend Stefan who passed away two weeks ago. Yesterday was his funeral. He will always be a part of my life, and I am in his debt for allowing me to photograph him when he was my best good friend. Sorry for some hic-ups recording this, he was only 44 and leaves two children. It is all very sad. To me, and now to you, he'll always be sat smiling on his old sofa, in the summer sun, feeding his chickens.Then the father hen will call his chickens homeThe wise man will bow down before the throneAnd at his feet they'll cast their golden crownsWhen the man comes around...I've written an essay about this episode on Substack, it goes into more depth and also gets into the nature of grief. I talk about the video games and music Stefan and I loved too.

Snobbery: Mapping The Photo Industries. RAW video, but published anyway. Pictures On My Mind 2025-09-26 | What photo-industries are there? How do you get into Photoland? Can you exist as a 'jobbing photographer'? Can you exist as an 'art photographer'? Todays video maps what I call Photoland in opposition to all the other photo-industries. It's pretty crap! ha! Lots of issues with this video today! ha! like my shite handwriting for a start! But also the intro is a bit antagonistic, its been a hard week losing one of my oldest, closest friends and I think I've watched too many 'do this to keep people watching your videos' and one of those is justifying expertise. I think I knocked the first 2 minutes slightly out of sync too! Had to make it black and white as it was so low light the colour balance on the crappy webcam looked rubbish. Anyway... think of this as a test, can you get past technical issues to get to the gold, or would you rather watch a shiny slo-mo video of a street photographer?I might try and re-do this at a later date, but I think the overall content is good. I'm just telling you what I've experienced over 25 years.TUTORIALS I do regular 1-2-1 tutorials with photographers from all over the world helping them with their photography projects, from the West Coast of America to Japan!

Every Photographer Has That One Friend…. Pictures On My Mind 2025-09-22 | Every photographer has that friend, the one friend that lets you photograph them all the time. Their muse. For me from 1998 that friend was Stefan Meyers. A photograph of him made National Geographic Magazine reach out to me to publish my work and it kickstarted my career. Stefan died this week, at 44.This episode is about our photography experiments, and his story. Because he was an inspirational person. I don’t want anyone to ever forget Stefan Meyers. My friend. He loved computers and coding. He co-founded a number station monitoring website. He loved listening to NIN, Pink Floyd, Stoned Jesus, Karma to Burn and many others. He was a dedicated and devoted single father. He never complained about the hand he was dealt.

How Slutty Little Glasses Can Save Democracy Pictures On My Mind 2025-09-18 | Todays episode is a thought experiment.... Can Slutty Little Glasses save democracy? And to what end can performative males who read in public change the course of society?Maybe not... it looks like it's all over, doesn't it?But no matter what happens fascist, authoritarian bully boys are not sexy. Truths are self-evident. And maybe if we can turn the tide of anti-intellectualism that is sweeping the western democracies we can stop people falling for the oldest tricks in the autocrats playbook.

This Photograph Has Changed The World Pictures On My Mind 2025-08-07 | In todays video I talk about a recent photograph of a mother and her starving child, Mohammad, taken in Gaza, and how I feel it has already changed the world.

The Hierarchy of Photography Subjects: From Self-Portraits to War Pictures On My Mind 2025-06-30 | Not every subject is easy to photograph. This video introduces a new framework I have invented for your viewing pleasure: The Hierarchy of Subject Matter in Photography. What is it? well it's my way of trying to show what I feel the easiest subject matter are all the way to the hardest in a lovely list. NOTE Year Zero just means beginning... it's not like your first year photographing. None of this is about time! don't get confused. Think 'Levels' not years. That said I would say most amateurs begin by photographing the subject matter I've placed in Year Zero.From the personal to the political, from the ethical to the exploitative, we map a photographic journey from intimacy to atrocity — inspired by the work of artists, documentarians, and photojournalists.There can be great work made on any subject. There are however, more accessible subject matter that draw the attention of amateur photographers who then proceed in really making. a mess of photographing that subject. I however, dream that photographs can, and do, have the power to change the world. So if you have it in you to photograph more challenging subjects, well, you really should. For the sake of humanity, the enrichment of your soul, and well, I've been told it also builds character! THE HIERARCHY OF SUBJECT MATTER:🌀 LEVEL ZERO – THE SELF AND THE CLOSEST CIRCLE1. You, your reflection, your diary.2. Pets / Nature3. Your Family4.Your Friends🧍♂️ LEVEL 1 – THE DISTANT OTHER5. Street people 6. The backs of strangers, silhouettes🎭 LEVEL 2 – PERFORMANCE AND PERMISSION7. Hobbyist performativity: football fans, retro fairs, cosplay8 + ????????????If you want to see the full 35 minute extended CHANNEL MEMBER version covering: 🧠 LEVEL 3 – THE COMPLEX REALITY OF OTHERS💥 LEVEL 4 – SUFFERING☠️ LEVEL 5 – HATE⚔️ LEVEL 6 – WARThen you need to become a CHANNEL MEMBER.

Why My Photo Youtube Channel Failed Pictures On My Mind 2025-04-07 | In todays video I think about 'Why My Youtube Channel Failed? I casually chat in my kitchen about winding down my youtube channel because I am unwilling to do some of the slimy and manipulative tricks that many BIG Youtubers do. I get why they do them, because they do work!But I am not a Youtuber I'm a professional photographer with a solid reputation marked by over 20 years freelancing as a pro photographer. I'm not throwing that in to sell AI Photo Software or flog people Squarespace websites.In the video I get into:Why niche channels won't ever work on Youtube (unless they embrace the dark arts)What I earn from advertising revenue on Youtube.How my channel membership is going, and what I earn from that. What the 'Top Photo Youtubers' earn using an online analytics tool to gauge their advertising revenue. Finally I cover what I plan to do moving forward and why I am planning to wind my channel down and not post a video a week anymore.If that sucks, well sorry. Maybe you could have told someone else about the channel or liked a video now and again! ha! Kidding! None of that would have helped. There's simply not enough people out there for this kind of "content"... (*pukes at the thought of the word content*).

SELLING OUT on Youtube: Photo Youtuber Sponsership Pictures On My Mind 2025-03-24 | Sometimes every photographer has just got to sell out, right? I asked this on Threads before I deleted the Threads app off my phone and it seems the majority of photographers think that 'selling out' is fine and that as a photographer and photo Youtuber in the 21st century becoming either an influencer, a brand ambassador or a product spokesperson is aspirational... so I too am finally selling out....NOT! Come on, really? Can you imagine me hawking AI photo editing software on my Youtube show? And Squarespace? Well they suck hard, I use a much cheaper provider to host my website that's pretty cool/pretentious/cheap and I'm okay with that. I know though, it doesn't leave me many ways of extorting money out of my base (that's you guys!) but maybe I don't want to do that. Maybe I prefer making money from being a photographer. In the famous words of Natalie Portman 'I never said I was a role model.' And yes, I have my channel membership at £2.99 but people pay for those vids, its not like I'm banging on about it in every video either. I make sweet FA from this Youtube channel, and you know maybe I don't put in as much effort as I could given that, but come on, at least its for real.

£2k Netflix cinema camera? Yep, I got one! Run n Gun camera test time! Pictures On My Mind 2025-03-10 | uThis is a camera test. A real camera test. Not like the others man, not like those Professional Photo Youtubers maaaan. Come on, you've seen them pulling out new (and old) cameras every week just to keep their views up. NO! This is me for real, really finally buying a Canon C70 and turning it on and walking straight outta the front door! No plan. No hijinks. Real Woodpeckers. But seriously, if you want too see a REAL camera retailer video play by play of the Canon C70 THEN THIS IS NOT FOR YOU!My kit:Canon C70 ✔ 35mm F1.4 EF fit ✔ EF EOS R adapter (0.71x) ✔ Rode Wireless 2 Go microphones ✔ My mitts ✔ Budget prescription reading glasses ✔ Ongoing 25+ year existential crisis ✔ So the reason I got this bargain is the new Canon C80 cinema camera is out now.... which means loads of dentists and people who work in adult video entertainment are selling theirs to get the latest thing. So for those creative souls on a budget, like wannabe gonzo videographers like myself, you can pick up an incredible Netflix approved cinema camera for under £2000! And the best thing is if you're a dinosaur DSLR Canon shooter like myself you probably have loads of EF fit glass that will work on it with a nifty adapter! I didn't realise the camera had never had its firmware updated, I was shooting it on Firmware 1.0.2.1 and now its updated to 1.1.0.1 which immediately has some cool eye focus thing that I didn't do in the park. All the footage is straight off camera, I shot at 2k as well, thats enough for me and enough for my komputer and certainly enough for Youtube. I would love it if anyone watching this has good advice on what to do to grade footage (all of this in the video is ungraded). I also have a new RAW light setting since the firmware upgrade, so keen to mess around with that as it looks magic. Audio wise, there is a little windshield for my Rode mic I should have clipped on. Next time I venture out I will use it. Any other tips I'm all ears. Its early days for me doing this, but I can offset my lack of technical skill as a cinematographer with 25+ years of making documentary photography projects and my boundless lust for life.

A Photographers Trick for Great Landscape Photographs Pictures On My Mind 2025-02-24 | There’s a simple but powerful strategy that you'll see in great landscape photography that's been used for centuries— Getting High! (no, not like that). Elevating your camera angle transforms your compositions, revealing more depth, details, and cinematic storytelling in your shots. As a documentary photographer I've used getting high to my advantage time and time again, although I don't drone! ;) In this episode, we explore the magic of high vantage points, featuring legendary photographers like Joel Sternfeld (American Prospects) and Simon Roberts (The Election Project), who mastered the art of shooting from above. Whether it's standing on hills, climbing camper vans, or just extending your arms, changing your perspective can elevate (literally) your photography game.📖 Plus, I’ll share insights from my own work, including a key image from my almost sold-out photo book, "In-A-Gadda-Da-England"—where my uber arms came into play and a multi-story car park gave me the perfect shot!🔹 Have you ever used a high vantage point to improve your photography? Let me know how you got high with your camera in the comments!👍 Like & Subscribe if you found this useful—it really helps to push the video to new folk and as a super niche small channel it really helps.

RIP David Lynch. And a coincidence... Pictures On My Mind 2025-01-16 | Yesterday, Wednesday 15th January 2025, while teaching at The Margate School I did a session on music videos. The musicians Robbie & Mona work at The Margate School too and I asked them if we could use some of their songs to make some music videos with, they came in and we picked some songs off their new album Tusky. We sat in the dark and listened to their music. I asked each student what they saw in their minds when they were listening. I said I could see Audrey from Twin Peaks dancing. In the afternoon I did a live exercise of cutting footage from Twin Peaks to the song Dolphin by Robbie & Mona. Something I didn't plan to do at all. We made this music video in 45 minutes and I uploaded it privately to Youtube to share with the students. Today is Thursday 16th January 2025, the next day, and David Lynch is dead.I find too much coincidence not to share this video. You can check out Robbie & Monas amazing music here: robbieandmona.bandcamp.com or you can find them on Spotify here: open.spotify.com/album/5MpuQl3YTWx7W9R1MzLQRi?si=ihUy5tVzQ8WxSe9FNrkLYg#davidlynch #twinpeaks #robbieandmona #musicvideo

Questing: Marshland Landscape Photography on a Mamiya RZ67 Pictures On My Mind 2025-01-06 | This video was filmed exactly one year ago today on the 6th January 2024. There's some ancient marshland I always drive by that I'd wanted to photograph for ages as part of my 'Arthurian Quest' landscape photography project on my Mamiya RZ67. It was a very cold day and I enlisted the help of one of my girls, who was 4 years old at the time, to help me document 'the questing'. I think she did great and her portraits were particularly good! Next week is another Questing video filmed with the help of Paul Bence last November! Much love to you all and I hope a peaceful and positive 2025! #filmphotography #landscapephotography #RZ67 #photography

Staying Positive When You Cant Sell Your Photo Books & Zines at a London Book Fair Pictures On My Mind 2024-12-23 | In todays episode I talk about taking part in my 2nd ever Photo book Fair in London and trying to sell my photo books and zines. The one rule: I didn't want to go on holiday by mistake! The fine folk of londonphotography.org.uk allowed me to take part and in no way is my experience at the photo book fair indicative of anyone else's. I'm sure everyone else smashed it and the god's of the photo book choose not to reward me with sales that day. In fairness I was pretty hungover from the memorial for Paul Lowe at The Imperial War Museum the night before and even if I didn't get to sell a single book I got to meet some photographers and share their work with you! So sometimes it's not all about me, darling! And sometimes its not all about money either!

Why this photograph is GREAT Pictures On My Mind 2024-11-12 | Last month the photojournalist and academic Paul Lowe died tragically. In todays hour long episode I go through his only photo book 'Bosnians'.
Paul Lowes BOSNIANS. War Photographer, Academic, Teacher, Professor... R.I.P Pictures On My Mind 2024-11-11 | In today's episode I am remembering photojournalist, war photographer, academic, teacher and professor Paul Lowe (1963-2024) with his photography book 'Bosnians' that was published in 2005.Paul died tragically in October 2024 at the age of 60. While researching him online for this episode I was sickened to see that Youtube was awash with auto-generated videos as a kind of digital obituary only focusing on the truly tragic circumstances surrounding his death. This hour long episode focuses on his single greatest photographic accomplishment: the documentation of the war in Bosnia. He focused on the daily lives of those living under siege and continued to photograph Bosnia long after the war ended. His book 'Bosnians' is incredible. that goes beyond photography book. Instead it is something else. Superbly edited with incredible context throughout with heartfelt quotes, extracts and testimony. It is a historical document. At the end of the video I talk about what Paul Lowe meant to me, my former photography teacher at the London College of Communication. He changed my life more than any other photographer or teacher I have ever known.With thanks for the tearsheets of Paul's published work supplied by Susan Glen.

NEW 4th Wall Break Theory in The Shining Pictures On My Mind 2024-10-21 | In todays video I get into my 2nd favourite horror film... The Shining. There's some great cinematography in The Shining but the films stills I found online left me a little flat... but... while researching I came across a new fan theory and I thought it was pretty cool.

Why The Exorcist stills photography is so good Pictures On My Mind 2024-10-14 | In todays analysis episode I get into the stills photography of The Exorcist (1973), which is by far my favourite horror film. The stills photographer was Josh Weiner. I know that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre topped a recent Variety Top 100 Horror Films, but to me The Exorcist firmly deserves that accolade. And in turns out the stills photography made on the set of The Exorcist is also outstanding! As part of spooky season I am going to get into the films stills of another horror film next, my 2nd favourite next week. And as for the one after that... well that's up to you.
