    Welcoming our newest Ambassador ...Henry of Big H Studios!

    Send us a text We're shaking off the dust from our hiatus with exciting tales and heartfelt apologies - consider it our quirky way of saying we've missed you deeply! (Can you tell that these descriptions are written by AI?!) Our latest episode might just tickle your funny bone as we recount how ChatGPT sent us on a wild goose chase with "The Flash," and no, not the kind we capture with our cameras.  But it's not all fun and games, as we also introduce a new shining star in our community, our newest Ambassador, Henry of Big H studios in Nigeria. His awe-inspiring photography is already setting our creative souls ablaze, and we can't wait for you to hear how our paths crossed in a fateful and photogenic twist of Instagram fate. Prepare to be swept off your feet as we introduce Henry, who's capturing more than just photographs—he's capturing hearts across the globe. His passion for the craft is infectious, and his stories of tackling imposter syndrome, developing a personal style and staying true to his vision are the motivational boost we all need. Through laughter and profound insights, we explore how Henry's magnetic energy and genuine communication transforms his work into a treasure trove of memories, proving that behind every great photographer is an even greater personality.

    We welcome back the wedding photography innovator! Dru Dodd Part 2

    Send us a text Prepare to have your approach to wedding photography transformed as, following on from last week's podcast, we are again joined by the renowned Dru Dodd for part 2 of our chat with Dru .  Dru's signature group composites have revolutionised the traditional wedding group shot.  Dru's stories carry us from his first serendipitous composite to drawing inspiration from Annie Leibovitz's lighting prowess. What begins as a mission to offer clients something remarkable ends up setting a new standards in the wedding photogaphy industry. When the lights dim, creativity must shine – a concept we embrace wholeheartedly in this episode. Dru shares tales of lighting challenges that would send most photographers into a frenzy, from shadowy priories to unpredictable UK weather. We reveal how the humble mobile phone light can become a photographer's secret weapon and discuss the innovation of high-powered lighting equipment that has reshaped our craft. The ingenious DIY 'Halo Pack' method is not just a nod to resourcefulness but a testament to Dru's innovative mindset. Finally, we bridge the gap between the dramatic terrain of landscape photography and the intimate world of weddings. Incorporating majestic backdrops into couple portraits calls for a fine-tuned eye for composition, something Dru has honed through both experience and the wisdom of landscape visionaries. We recount tales of photographers braving the elements, much like the Greek heroes of old, and outline how a photographer's resilience can capture those epic, once-in-a-lifetime shots that make a wedding album truly legendary. Join us for a journey through light, love, and the art of capturing moments that last a lifetime. A huge thank you to Dru for joining us for this two part special!
