For the last 14 months I’ve been paying for CaptureOne at £12 a month (£168 so far). Or, you could buy a full license for €279. Either way, it is a lot of money. I’ve only just realised that as a Sony user I could have just paid for Pro at £45 (€50). And so can you! […]

As life is quickly becoming busier and busier for me I’ve had to find solutions to be able to work on the go and with that, naturally comes sacrifice. I opted for a Surface Pro 4 and an iPhone 6sPlus for my “Travel kit” and with the Wi-Fi abilities of the Sony A7ii it makes […]

I recently got my hands on some of Jake Hicks’s gels from Amersham Studios that are made by Lee Filters and hand picked by Jake Hicks for their placement and ability to work together based on his preference and experience. Now that I’ve had them in my possession I can honestly say 2 things: Man […]

It’s died down a little now, but last year there was an insane craze surrounding the Sigma Art series lenses so much so that I actually ended up buying 2 of them, selling them, then borrowing them again in the future for other shoots when I had no money. To be clear from the outset, […]
