Last month, I ran a predominantly 35mm film photography workshop in Cornwall, split into two contrasting genres: street photography and surf photography. The first part of the workshop focused on street photography, while the second part took us into the world of surf photography.

Every piece of art carries a story, and for me, photography is about more than just capturing an image, it’s about preserving a moment. In this article, I share the stories behind some of my most popular prints in 2024.

Understanding what makes a print “collectable” is key for an artist. A collectable print goes beyond the image, it tells a story, captures an experience, and reflects the artist’s journey. Here are six key elements to make your work truly resonate.

A photograph is more than just colours and composition, it’s a captured moment, frozen in time, steeped in emotion, and alive with memories. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my prints with people who see in them more than landscapes or scenes.

Discover why the 50mm lens is the ideal choice for landscape photography. From its natural perspective that mirrors the human eye to its lightweight portability, this versatile lens is perfect for capturing stunning, authentic landscapes.

Surf photography is an exhilarating yet challenging genre. Whether you’re shooting digitally or with 35mm film, capturing the perfect surf shot requires a blend of technical skill, creativity, and an understanding of the environment.

In the world of photography, the term “fine art prints” evokes images of stunning visual artistry, meticulous craftsmanship, and enduring quality. But what exactly makes a print a “fine art print,” and how does it differ from other types of photographic reproductions?

Whether it’s a single, thought-provoking shot or a series of images that come together to tell a detailed story alive with emotion, once you’ve found a subject you’re passionate about, try piecing together a narrative that brings new dimensions to your work.
