45(mm) Higher Love! The Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm F1.8 Premium
My love of the 45mm focal length into the Micro Four Third (MFT) image sensor format is not new (and may have begun with the Leica Summicron 90mm F2.8 into the 35mm film format not so long ago…!).

Photographing Larger Products
Since an early age I have been obsessed with arranging furniture and objects in rooms. It brings out the creative spark in me, so having this large home studio where almost everything is on wheels really let’s me express that creativity in ways I couldn’t have imagined.

Photography Website Revamp
I have mostly stopped getting inquiries for new business since moving house. It's kind of distressing and difficult to put a finger on because it could be a number of things that are in play.

The New Space
The first bit of studio gear I bought was a Tristar light stand that extends to about 4m in height. I thought it was so cool. I still have that stand, but I have added about a dozen others in the 20 or so years since I bought the Tristar.

The Fujifilm X-H1: the pro that never had a chance!

Something has to be different!
Replication is not a new thing in photography as for variations over a basic theme but, at least, variations are a different exploration of the main subject opposed to simply an endless reproduction of the same formula.

The Panasonic Lumix G95 / G90: Back to basics!

Of course, everyone knows the usual consensus that defines the "normal" focal length of any picture format by its diagonal of its recording plane-surface. The best known can be referred in the old 35mm film format ( 24 X 36mm) as the 50mm lens although the result of the real calculation in this particular format should have been around a focal length of 43mm.

Over the past few years I have watched extraordinary changes occur in my home town. They haven’t been welcome. If I could describe them in simple words I guess I’d use terms like “degeneration” or “deriliction”.
