Costa Blanca Photographer-Creating the Perfect Social Media Image

As I have mentioned, I am not only a costa blanca photographer, I also edit photos. Here are some tips on carving out the perfect social media image. 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 recognized 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. There is a lot of competition...

Costa Blanca Photographer

Being a Costa Blanca photographer has many perks. With constant sunshine and mild temperatures, these are some of the many perks of being based in Spain. I really enjoy being based on the Mediterranean, and spend a lot of my leisure time in the sea. I have taken up Stand Up Paddling (SUP) and have since been involved in producing a video to promote this sport. I produced this short video for  Surfhouse Calpe, they were the ones who introduced me to stand up paddling. It was filmed on a stunning spring day in Calpe on the Costa Blanca. Freesea a stand up paddle company was searching for a Costa Blanca photographer, and found my facebook posts about my SUP adventures. I was commissioned to do a...

Photographer Spain – shooting luxury yachts

Photographer Spain - shooting luxury yachts. Being a photographer on the Costa Blanca certainly has benefits. I got to photograph a beautiful yacht.   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 Spain on the Mediterranean. Nordhavn are based in the UK and decided to search for a photographer based in the Costa Blanca in Spain and found my website. This photography assignment is really quite similar to real estate photography. I had to photograph the exterior on all sides, as well as the lounge, cabins and pilothouse. We agreed to wait for a calm sunny day, to accentuate that Mediterranean vibe that you find on the Costa...

Planning a photoshoot with Covid 19

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...

recover lost files

Saving lost or deleted files on a hard drive

Saving lost or deleted files on a hard drive. I will talk about how to recover lost files and how to restore accidentally deleted files from a memory card using Disk Drill. 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. It might have even been accidentally deleted or formatted. This happened to me recently. I had three video production projects, all nearly completed. I also had a photographs to edit and send from a shoot on the Costa Blanca. I was transferring the video projects and photo files from one had drive to another, when my hard drive failed and all my video edits and photography projects...

Real Estate Photographer Spain

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. [caption id="attachment_4939" align="alignleft" width="800"] The light in the apartment really...

Photography terms and conditions

Photography terms and conditions are essential to you photographic business. It can save your reputation as a photographer, a lot of money and most importantly a lot of time. I nearly had a bad experience a couple of years ago, when I was contracted to do a studio photo shoot for Dock Of The Bay, a clothing company based in the UK. 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...

Photography and Covid 19

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...

racism at work

Black lives matter, racism at work

Black lives matter, racism at work is particularly terrible as many won't speak up for fear of losing their jobs. This racist attitude is not only aimed at the black community but at many ethnic minorities. Anybody who is racially abused deserves to be protected or at least have a voice to speak out about this injustice. This has recently come into the headlines, with the terrible events in the USA and the black lives matter protests that are taking place all around the world. I started my career as a dental technician but my heart was never really in it. I had studied photography in London and around 2004, I quit my job to fulfil my dream of becoming a photographer and video producer. My...
