Before you pack those Christmas Baubles away, give a thought to planning your photography, social media and promotions for next year! You’ll thank me if you do.
Planning Social Media for 2024
Here we are at the end of yet another dance around the sun and about to close down 2023. For some no doubt it will have been a great year, for others not so much and there’ll be many more in between who’ve had a year of ups and downs. I hope you’ve at least had some...
Is DIY Photography costing you sales?

Becoming a Photographer
No, I’ve not always been a photographer, well not in the sense you probably think of. I didn’t leave school, study photography and then launch into life as a photographer. I took the scenic route! And yes I'm self-taught over many, many years and very proud of it...

Did you know about my Newsletter?
Did you know I had a newsletter? I’ll bet you don’t as it’s something I just started in the final quarter of 2023. I’d been putting it off for ages. All I could think of was, ‘what on earth do I have to say?’, ‘who will want to read it?’, and of course deep down was...
