March 11th, just another day like any other. Except it's Sunday and we went to visit a friend of ours. I documented for them, and I documented for me, with all my heart. That's all it is. This post is part of a blog circle. A group of talented photographers who have committed to share 10 photos of one day of their daily lives on the 10th of each month. To continue viewing the work of these amazing photographers follow the link at the bottom of this post. Thanks for taking the

February 28th, just another day like any other. Except it's Wednesday and everything is closing down. Maybe it's something common to you but not here in Cork, Ireland... the last time I saw snowing my eldest wasn't even born! So yep, for us it's a big deal. I documented for them, and I documented for me, with all my heart. That's all it is. This post is part of a blog circle.

January 6th, just another day like any other. Except it's Saturday and the sun is suddenly shinning. The balloons from her second birthday still around the house and they are playing at the corner. I sit, I watch, and I enjoy their time. Our time! All these ordinary moments make up childhood. Then these ordinary moments of laughter, dancing, cuddling and innocence will soon be over and we'll miss them deeply. I document for them, and I document for me, with all my heart. That

Low light situations and the use of high ISO is often avoid because it can create a lot of grain. During my photography journey, I have also avoided it. Many times I doubted if it was worthy picking up my camera. Recently, I have joined a group of documentary photographers to challenge ourselves and shoot for seven days at evening time. I have learned not to be afraid of pushing the ISO in order to get a moment I want. Yes, there will be grain! I have learned to embrace it. T

First of all, I'll explain what lifestyle photography is exactly. A lifestyle session means less posing and more natural and real moments. I love to shoot families, kids, whoever, just doing something together. I will place in a good spot of light and let you have your moments, there are no backdrops, no fancy props, no fancy clothes, just you in a place that's meaningful to you (your home, an outdoor location etc). You may have heard about documentary sessions too, which to

Light, sunrises and sunsets are something we had for granted before. When raining we would stay inside. The weather has been one of the most difficult things we had to get used to. The winters are long and the days are short! While our eldest like staying inside, there is no way of keeping this little girl indoors. My car is now prepared for any circumstance at all times: rain coats, hats, boots and spare clothes! The only way to convince big brother to go out, is exploring

I wrote a previous article on how to improve your everyday photos, where I discussed the importance of light and composition. At the time, I wanted to show you the basic concepts with a simple example at a coffee shop. When you think about photographing kids, the same concepts will apply. You should look for the light and how the light interacts with your subject, natural light whenever possible. Try different point of views to find a better composition. Again, visual exercis

There are hundreds of thousands of tutorials out there and most of them are weighted heavily towards technical aspects, such as the camera and lenses to buy or Photoshop techniques. But photography is more than just a technical exercise. At the end of day, photography is still an art. How do you develop the art side of your photography? It's leaning to see and notice what's around you: visual exercise. The camera on your mobile phone can teach you the most about photography,
