In ChatGPT, using Describe image add-on, I uploaded this image I took today and prompted the following text: Describe this photo with a hint of conspiracy theory This is the response: “Composition: The image depicts a lineup of ten dolls and action figures, sitting in a row behind a wireless keyboard placed at the foreground. This setup creates a curious and deliberate juxtaposition of human-like figures with technology, hinting at coordination or control. The characters face forward in a suspiciously synchronised manner, as though participating in a covert council or plotting something secretive. Style and Details: • The dolls vary […]
Now Ozgo Production can offer winter photo sessions for kids and small families (max 4). Here are some images from a recent photo session that took place at Ozgo Productions. Equipment Used I used a Canon Speedlight 600EX-RT flashgun filed with 4x Ansmann AA Rechargeable Batteries and connected to a Canon EP-E4 Battery pack filled with another 8 Ansmann batteries. The flash was fitted with a newly purchased Tripo KX65 Softbox that I wanted to test. I also used a flash trigger YN-E3-RT mounted on my Canon 5D Mark III with a 24-70 mm F2.8 L. The backdrop can be […]
For those interested in how 2024 Recap – a Photography and Videography highlights video was made, please stay tuned. 1. The Script I asked ChatGPT with “She Knows Alt Text” addon the following: “I am a photographer and videographer and I want to create a short video like a retrospective of 2024, with examples of photos and videos I took and to thank my clients for trusting in me. Some of the projects this year were a mix of event photography and personal projects (macro photography), award ceremonies to headshots, from Christening to weddings, even a “trash the dress” session […]
In today’s Episode 03, our AI hosts are talking about “TERRA_INFINITA” details a fictional history of 178 worlds enclosed within a “Great Dome,” inhabited by various alien civilizations, including humans. The narrative focuses on the conflict between humanity and a parasitic race called the Custodians, who control and manipulate human civilisation through periodic “resets.” A significant portion explores the different alien races and their interactions with humans and each other, revealing their technologies, societal structures, and histories. The book also features an interview with Helen Morris, whose family fought against the Custodians, providing first-hand accounts and insights into their struggle for […]
In today’s Episode, our AI hosts are talking about Walter Russell’s “The Universal One” (1926), a book that attempts to describe the universe using a scientific and philosophical framework. Russell, a self-taught artist and architect, believed that the universe is a single, unified system governed by a set of fundamental principles. He proposed a cosmogony based on the concept of “Mind” as the underlying substance of all that exists, with light as the fundamental force that acts as the creative principle of the universe. Russell’s theory focuses on the dynamic interplay of opposing forces— electricity and magnetism – which he […]
INTRODUCTION The main goal of this project is to revive old time technologies used for atmospheric energy production and applying said technologies in different areas of human life. The advent of such technologies was a result of development of a prehistoric civilisation occupying territories of modern Siberia, Central Asia and Middle East. The regretful worldwide destruction of atmospheric energy technologies took place later due to political reasons. In order to restore them we need to divide our work into several stages. The whole restoration process is quite unique because it implies the application of now forgotten old sciences as well […]
One night a year Basildon is a really scary place…because everyone is ready for Halloween. Like in previous years Diana and me went for a stroll around the neighbourhood trick or treating. Happy Halloween everyone!

As an event photographer, I recently had the pleasure of covering the “Sustainable Growth” inaugural lecture by Bina Mehta MBE at Bayes Business School. Here’s an inside look at my approach to capturing this special event: Pre-Event Preparation Normally I would arrive early to scout the location, but since I was familiar with it, I checked it off the list. I did notice that the venue updated the lighting in the auditorium, so a few test shots were necessary to make sure the lighting is consistent or if external flash is required. Staff and technicians usually are happy to help. […]

As a photographer, I’m often tasked with capturing life’s most precious moments. George’s christening at St. John’s Church was no exception. The sun was shining, the atmosphere was filled with joy, and the church’s beautiful stained glass windows provided a stunning backdrop for this special occasion. My goal was to capture the raw emotion and love that filled the room. I focused on the details: the tiny hands, the proud faces of the parents, the laughter of the guests. I wanted to create images that would transport the family back to this magical day for years to come. One of […]
In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized photography, fundamentally changing how we approach image capture. While much attention has been given to AI’s ability to generate images, this post will focus on how AI can empower beginner photographers and boost their confidence to participate in photography competitions. Reflecting on my past experiences as a member of the Preston Photography Society (2008-2010) and the Romford Camera Club (2015-2016), I recall the excitement of photography competitions. Back then, I often wished for an AI companion to provide feedback on my photos—whether it was about improving framing, enhancing colours, or adjusting contrast. With […]
This delightful insect is a bee! It’s busy collecting nectar from the white daisy-like flower with its brown and black banded body. The slightly transparent wings allow it to hover gracefully as it goes about its important work. The vibrant yellow center of the flower provides a sweet reward for our hardworking bee friend. Remember, bees play a crucial role in pollination, helping plants reproduce and ensuring a healthy ecosystem. So let’s appreciate and protect these little pollinators! For those interested, I used a Canon 5D Mark III with a 24-70mm L lens and a 31mm Extension Tube Set for […]
This new art installation erected outside Liverpool Street Station Elizabeth Line entrance makes me wonder – big and small stainless-steel balls on a string. What could it be?! I don’t know who the artist is or what he/she is trying to say with this, but considering that most of them are perverts, I’m guessing: ‘anal beads’. Feel free to come up with your own interpretation. Update 16/09/2024

As a family photographer, I love capturing those special, unscripted moments of childhood wonder and imagination. Recently, I had the joy of photographing a session with a mom and her two kids, a boy and a girl, playing together in the sunset glow of Rise Park in Basildon. It was a fun, active shoot full of laughter, magic, and togetherness. The golden sunlight filtering through the trees set a beautiful scene. Both kids were thrilled to run around and explore. I let the two siblings play more naturally while I followed capturing candid moments. Some of my favourite images were […]
