Over on Shutter Muse, I’ve added to my series of articles about photography workflow and backup routines. In this new post, I wanted to highlight some specific dangers that are coming from general misunderstandings of RAID systems and the term “backup”. If you cherish your photo collection, I’d urge you to hop on over and check it out!
This week my latest eBook, Click Click, Tick Tock, became available exclusively as part of the 5DayDeal Complete Photography Business Bundle. You can get $1900 worth of photo business training for just $87, but it only lasts a few days and the clock is ticking. My contribution to the bundle is my new photography workflow eBook, and I thought what better way to introduce you guys to what it’s all about, than to let you read the introduction. I’ve approached the much-discussed topic of workflow from a slightly different angle, and it’s all based on my own experiences and techniques …
I’ve had this magazine on my desk for a while but I’m only just getting around to posting about it so hopefully some of you caught it when it was on the shelves. I did a phone interview with the folks from PDN Magazine last summer, about some of my recent work and specifically the workflow that I employ for my files. It’s a real honour to be featured in such a prominent photography industry magazine, and they even included a selfie that I took, haha! Ok, so I didn’t use a selfie stick or anything like that! It was …

This past week I had the distinct privilege of being the guest Instagrammer for Destination BC on their @HelloBC Instagram account. I shared a series of images from my home area of BC, the Sea-To-Sky Corridor. You can now also view some of the photos on the Hello BC blog! I’m so happy to have been able to share some images from my beautiful home. Read the post on the Hello BC blog HERE.
Hey guys!Over on my photography educational website, Shutter Muse, I’ve posted an absolutely MONSTER SIZED guide to flying with your photography gear. I don’t cross post everything here from my personal blog, but I put a ton of time, effort and experience into this one and people seem to be really appreciating it already. You’ll learn: I’ll even tell you the story about how I delayed a full Boeing 747 and was escorted off the plane by airport security…! Check it out -> How To Fly With Your Photography Gear
Popular surf and mountain sport website, The Inertia, featured my photography with a gallery of images a few months ago. It’s a wonderful website, and truly an honour to grace its digital pages. Check out the feature HERE.
I thought I’d share a little Christmas tale with you guys and hopefully it’ll make you chuckle 🙂 My parents live in the UK and this Christmas I wasn’t going to be able to head over there to spend it with them. My brother currently lives in New Zealand but he’d been to visit me in Canada a couple of months ago. While he was here, we took a photo of the two of us together. Living on opposite sides of the world, it was quite a rare occurrence for us to be in the same place at the same …
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of talking to Matt Brandon, The Digital Trekker, from the Depth of Field Podcast. We chatted about all things photography and had a great time! You can find the podcast episode on The Digital Trekker website, or on iTunes. If you want to learn a bit more about me and my story, what I’m up to these days and how I run my business, take a listen!
I take my website very seriously because it has been the source of so many of the great things that have happened to me throughout my career. This website is built on a platform called Divi, by Elegant Themes. It’s a theme that has an incredible amount of customization options so no two Divi sites have to look the same. A while back, Elegant Themes contacted me and asked me if they could do a feature about me and my site on their blog. I think at the time, I actually forgot to post this on my own blog, so …
A few years ago B&H Photo asked myself and a few other adventure photographers for some advice about shooting in the snow. I thought it would be a good time to point back to that advice this week as many of us go into a short holiday with lots of opportunity to get outside and capture the winter. Maybe you’ll even have some new camera gear to play with! You can find the article over at B&H Photo –> HERE.
The folks at Photocrowd have asked me to judge their Snow & Ice photography contest that just started this past week. MindShift Gear are providing the prize, an awesome Rotation 180 Trail backpack! I have one of these packs myself and it’s my go to pack for lightweight outdoor action photos. Head on over to Photocrowd and check it out! I’d love to see some of your photos in the contest . Entries close on February 1st, so you’ve still got some time to get out there and take some snowy shots, but if you’ve already got something in the …
