How's everyone holding up? These times are definitely uncertain, and I've been known to rear my head around here in times of uncertainty. deviantART is especially poignant to me at the moment, as I'm writing an essay about the effect of community on creativity and creative culture. I think that dA will always be a good example of how the two work hand in hand.I haven't updated my journal for a while, so I thought I'd leave a few links below in case you're wondering what I've been up to. Skillshare I've started teaching online. Mostly photography related, but design, branding and creative entrepreneurship classes will soon be coming. You ca...

I hope everyone's doing well. I've been crazy busy over the last few months - finished my second year at university, turned 20 :party:, and have been working a whole lot. I've recently been moving my photography in the world of videography, and more specifically YouTube; doing collabs with likeminded creatives and trying to show people an insight into what it is I do as a freelance photographer.Last week was my third challenge on my channel, and another addition of two photographers shoot the same model. Please give it a watch and let me know what you think! Which locations were the best, which outfits, which shots ? I always appreciate t...

As many of you may know, a couple of years ago I made the transition into fashion photography. One of the biggest aspects of my business is working with fashion bloggers and so I've put together a little video with some of the tips I'd suggest keeping in mind when working with bloggers. Please don't hesitate to let me know what you think!

deviantART for me has been a massive part of my growing up and in my finding myself as an artist. I attribute a lot of my skills today - both creative and otherwise - to the time I spent growing up on deviantART and learning from this community and, despite the hiatus I've taken in recent years, this community has always had a special space in my heart.To hear of the passing of someone that I genuinely considered a friend, Alicia (:devendorell-taelos:) has deeply saddened me. The conversations that I had with Alicia are conversations that I will always look back on with fond memories. She truly was one of the kindest people and even after ...

FINALLY got round to documenting more than 5 minutes of my day as a freelance photographer and managed to create an entire 9 minute video of how I spend an average day. The video, if you're interested in watching it, documents two of my photoshoots from yesterday - the first with a blogger called Amira, who runs a blog called Modest Mira, and the second with a band from Manchester called Crush. Check it out, let me know what you think! If you're a photographer (or even if you're not) and you enjoy following photography related videos/vlogs, what kind of thing would you like to see? I'm really trying to build and grow my YouTube and hopeful...
