Since I’ve started running my Un-Cheese Photography Workshops for parents, one of the questions I’m being asked a lot is about camera bags I recommend. With Christmas coming up, here’s a little round up of some camera bags that I’ve used myself, and also those I really like the look of :) Send this to your significant other if they need a hint on what you might like as a present!
Claire got in touch with me before their trip to London from Taipei, asking if I could capture their time in the city, so the kids could remember it. She didn’t necessarily want a typical landmark photoshoot, but photographs of them having fun as a family, and living the “London life”. They were also keen to capture the beauty that is autumn in London, walking in the park and playing with the leaves.
For this Christmas Traditions Session I headed to Richmond to photograph the family decorating their Christmas tree and making a gingerbread house. The kids were of an age where – at least some of them – could be trusted with handing a hot pan and melting sugar it in, and when I arrived they already made great progress on their gingerbread house.
A few weeks back my son and I have spent a wonderful couple of days exploring the old town of Tallinn in Estonia. Usually I carry my “big” camera with me whenever I travel, as I love capturing our adventures, but after a busy month the last thing I wanted to do was to be in work mode again (and I can’t help it, if I have my big camera I feel like I have to work really hard to create great photos). So instead this time I decided to go light: no camera, just a brand new Google Pixel – and it’s pretty impressive camera.
I have a confession to make. Newborns and babies are my favorite subjects to photograph. I love the fact that they just are, they are completely themselves and they experience the world with this wide-eyed amazement and wonder that’s unlike anything else.
A few weeks back I traveled to North London to photograph a wonderful family and their life with their newest addition. They greeted me like an old friend, even though it was the first time I’d photographed them, and I really enjoyed our time together.
