Social media has exploded in popularity in the last few decades, and its impact cannot be understated. It has become a crucial part of how our social relationships operate, which includes friendships and partnerships. Various brands and enterprises have recognised social media's power, so they invest a lot of effort, time, and resources into boosting conversions through it. For example, Tik Tok views will allow businesses and social media accounts to spread the word and gain popularity. Similarly, images play a vital role on social media, especially on platforms like Instagram and Pinterest....

Altea Costa Blanca Photographer Being a photographer in Altea on the Costa Blanca comes with many perks—endless sunshine, mild winters, and long Mediterranean summers. These elements make Altea not just a beautiful place to live, but also an inspiring location for photography. As a local Altea Costa Blanca photographer, I spend much of my free time by the sea, enjoying water sports like Stand Up Paddling (SUP), which has recently become part of my creative work. A SUP Lifestyle Photography Project in Calpe One of my recent projects was a short promotional video for Surfhouse Calpe, just a 15-minute drive north of Altea along the stunningly beautiful Mediterranean coast. It was filmed on a stunning spring day along the Mediterranean coast. A SUP brand called Freesea was looking...

Photographer Spain - shooting luxury yachts. Being a photographer on the Costa Blanca certainly has benefits. I got to photograph a beautiful yacht on a stunning summer's day. It is days like this that make me really appreciate my job as a corporate photographer.   Nordhavn Yachts contacted me to photograph one of their yachts which was going to be put on sale. The yacht belonged to a client and was moored in Altea on the Mediterranean in The Costa Blanca near Alicante. Nordhavn are based in the UK and decided to search for a photographer based in the Costa Blanca in Spain and found my website and contact details. This photography assignment is really quite similar to real estate photography. I had to photograph the exterior on...

Planning a photoshoot with Covid 19. Lifestyle Fitness, a very popular chain of gyms, with branches all over the UK, booked me for a photo shoot. Of course I jumped at this opportunity. The photos were for their updated website, as well as for print and banner advertising. My brief was to photograph models working out in a gym environment. One of my biggest bugbears when looking at advertising with models, is that most photos fake. It is obvious to see that they are posing and not at all natural looking. We discussed my point of view, and we came to an agreement to shoot realistic and natural looking photos. It was essential that it looked like it happened in a real environment. A lot of...

I will talk about how to use video to promote your business. A professional video production can help optimising your website for search engines, and increase sales or bookings. I was contacted by Marnes - a luxury wellness clinic on the Costa Blanca in Spain to create a promotional video to be used on Youtube and on their website. Bookings had been in decline because of the Covid 19 restrictions, and they were looking to use a video production to reach more potential clients. This is not the first time I have been contracted by a company that wants to use video to promote their business. I find this type of video production really rewarding as I need to ensure the video I create is going...

As a photographer and video producer I have numerous hard drives with ongoing projects. At some point a hard drive or memory card will become corrupted or fail.

Photographer Spain - as a real estate photographer, I photograph luxury villas for holiday rental companies and property developers. Being a photographer in Spain, interior photography is made so much easier with the regular sunshine we get. Alicante on the Costa Blanca has one of the best yearly sunshine statistics. I recently photographed loft apartment in Alicante, and my client was really happy with the photos.  I was based in the UK as a photographer for 10 years, and to photograph interiors on overcast wintry days was far more complicated. I had to carry at least two lighting setups as well as make sure I had my camera flash with an extra set of batteries ready.

I was set to photograph their Autumn range of clothing in a studio I had booked in Leeds. There were also 2 models booked for the day and everything was set. Two days before the photo shoot around 4 large boxes of clothing arrived. They were sealed and upon opening the garments were still packaged and most importantly no creases were ironed out. If...

It has been incredibly difficult to do any photography and Covid 19 restrictions limiting almost all aspects of taking pictures. One area of photography that is particularly restricted is event photography. My photography colleagues from all over the world have said that they have instantly seen their incomes completely disappear. Fortunately for me I am not only a photographer, I also work as a photo editor and having this as a service I offer has helped me through this financially difficult time. The restrictions have slowly been lifted, but I felt that event photography was a long way away from resuming. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from the director of the Adda Simfonica enquiring if I could come and take photographs of a concert...

Photographing wildlife for a conservation project. I have always held the belief that we humans need to conserve our environment before it is too late. When I heard about the plight of GG Conservation, a lion sanctuary in South Africa, I jumped at the possibility to offer my services to this very important sanctuary. They are currently running a crowdfunding campaign, here is a bit about them: Glen Garriff (GG) Conservation is a lion sanctuary for lions in need in South Africa. We provide an environment where our animals can live in safety, be treated with the compassion and respect they deserve, free of abuse and persecution.

Event photography at its best. It was a real pleasure to be invited to photograph and create a visual archive of the recording sessions of Symphony # 2 and 5. Composed by the academy award winning Michael Nyman. Photographing the recording process was a real inspiration for me, shooting everything from the sound engineers, to the meetings between the musicians and Michael Nyman. I also had the privilege to be invited to photograph the premiere of his new symphonies.  The World Orchestra conducted by Josep Vicent managed to record these two symphonies in record time. Recently Charles Padley, the record label manger contacted me for permission to use eight of my photographs for the album: Michael Nyman Symphonies. Of course I gave permission and got a...

They had recently invested an advertising campaign to coincide with the launch of their new resident orchestra the “ADDA Simfònica”.

Here and there a few free days where you can only relax and have so many coffee’s before you start crawling up the walls! What I do is try and get involved with a worthwhile cause. For me living on the Med in Spain, obviously this is going to influence whet I get involved in. I have quite a few water sport enthusiasts as friends and we met one afternoon to talk about how nobody seemed to care about a local marine reserve. I teamed up with a group of environmentalists working on trying to protect the sea life from abuse by tourists...

My documentary: "Shark Central" is a shark documentary, which I wrote, directed and produced without any funding or support. The documentary is about the sudden surge in Great White Shark attacks in False Bay, South Africa that started around 2003. The documentary focuses on the Great White Shark, the local community and the impact these attacks have had on their livelihood (the ocean), and more importantly the consequences to this already threatened species. As you know: the Great White Shark is under threat of extinction through hunting, depletion of its food stocks and as a consequence of the rise in attacks, the unnecessary hunting and culling (which is taking place at this moment in Australia) of this magnificent species.
