Behind the Scenes-A Day in the Life of a Costa Blanca Photographer

When Photographing a Luxury Yacht Doesn't Quite Go According to Plan Being a professional photographer on the Costa Blanca can involve some pretty spectacular assignments. Sunrise shoots, luxury villas, events, weddings and yachts sailing along the Mediterranean coastline can make it look like a dream job from the outside, and sometimes it genuinely is. There is, however, another side to professional photography that clients don't always see. Weather changes, schedules move, equipment doesn't always cooperate, locations become unavailable and sometimes, despite weeks or months of planning, the conditions simply aren't right for the photographs you need. I was reminded of that recently when I was asked to photograph a large luxury yacht for a Belgian yacht broker. It was supposed to be a fairly straightforward assignment, but...

25 Years Behind the Camera-What Photography Has Taught Me About People

A quarter of a century of assignments, lessons, successes, failures and unforgettable moments When people ask me what photography has taught me over the past twenty-five years, they usually expect me to talk about cameras, lenses, lighting, composition or editing. The truth is that photography has taught me far more about people than it has about cameras. I've photographed orchestras, hotels, businesses, yachts, weddings, landscapes, historic buildings and commercial assignments across several countries. I've photographed people at some of the happiest moments of their lives and, occasionally, some of the most stressful. I've learnt that every assignment has its own challenges. I've also learnt that success often depends upon understanding people rather than understanding equipment. One particular experience taught me that lesson more clearly than any other. Walking onto the Stage Competition for the...

How Data Recovery Software Saved My Photography Career Three Times

Three Real-Life Data Disasters Every Photographer Can Learn From If you're a professional photographer or videographer, there are few things more frightening than returning from an important assignment only to discover that your files have disappeared. Over the years, I've photographed everything from luxury yachts and commercial projects to tourism campaigns, weddings and concerts. Like most photographers, I've invested thousands of pounds in cameras, lenses, computers and storage systems. But despite all that investment, there have been three occasions where my career very nearly took a very different direction; and how data recovery software saved my photography career three times. A corrupted SD card. A failed RAID drive. A damaged hard drive containing irreplaceable video footage. Each time, I genuinely believed months—or even years—of work could be gone forever. Fortunately, those stories all...

Tourism videography and photography content creation Spain: Behind the Scenes of a Multi-Format Tourism Media Project

Tourism videography and photography content creation Spain: Capturing Guadix in 3 Days In the coming weeks, I’ll be heading to Guadix for an intensive three-day content production project focused on showcasing the region as a growing tourism destination. This assignment combines still photography, cinematic video, and 360-degree immersive content — all produced solo, on location, and within a tight timeframe. The goal is to create a complete visual library for a new tourism-focused website, highlighting Guadix’s unique identity, architecture, and cultural atmosphere. Unlike traditional shoots, this project requires balancing multiple formats while working within the constraints of historic environments, changing light conditions, and limited time. Why Guadix Is a Unique Location to Capture Guadix is one of southern Spain’s most visually distinctive locations, known for its cave dwellings, historic streets,...

Why Portfolios Alone No Longer Win Clients

Why Portfolios Alone No Longer Win Clients

Why Portfolios Alone No Longer Win Clients For a long time, creative professionals were told one thing above all else: your work should speak for itself. Build a strong portfolio, show your best images, and clients will follow. In reality, that advice no longer holds true — at least not on its own. Today, many photographers, videographers, and creatives have impressive portfolios, yet still struggle to attract the right clients. The issue isn’t a lack of talent. It’s a shift in how people evaluate creative work, and how they decide who to trust. A portfolio is still important — but it’s no longer enough. The Problem With Portfolios in a Crowded Market The creative industry has never been more saturated. High-quality cameras are widely accessible, editing tools are powerful and affordable,...

Photography Javea Spain – Capturing The La Villa Experience

Photographing La Villa Experience in Jávea Photography Javea Spain, one of the joys of my work is being able to capture events that bring people together in celebration. This summer, I had the opportunity to spend an evening at La Villa Experience in Jávea, on the Costa Blanca, to document its unique mix of family fun, gastronomy, chillout lounge vibes, and nightlife energy. From 7pm until 1am, I photographed everything from children’s workshops and food trucks to DJs spinning under the stars. The result was not just a gallery of images, but a visual story of how La Villa in Javea transforms throughout the night.

Alicante Photographer

  Alicante Photographer Being a photographer based in Spain on the Mediterranean is a privilege. Alicante on the Costa Blanca has the most annual sunshine than anywhere else in Spain. This makes outdoor event photography so much fun. The yachts were "vintage" which made photographing these classic sailboats even more interesting. To complement the sailboats I photographed, I added a vintage feel to the final photos. The late summer sun in Alicante on the Mediterranean is also a really warm tone, which added to the classic feel of the photos.   This is not the only time I have photographed yachts in Alicante, I recently added a series of photos I took for a luxury yacht owner to my portfolio as well as a blog post I wrote about...
