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 […]
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 […]
Recently I photographed the panel discussion Craft Lecture: Colonialism and Climate Change at Bayes Business School. Their focus was on the links between Colonialism and Climate Change and how history impacts the world we live. The event was hosted by Malla Pratt, Director for Racial Equity and Inclusion, and introduced by, Professor Andre Spicer, Dean of Bayes Business School. The panel discussion was chaired by Dr Sujata Visaria. More infor about the event you can find here.
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 […]
Photography allows us to freeze time and immortalise the most cherished moments in our lives. Recently, I had the honour of photographing a baptism ceremony at Parohia Ortodoxă Română in Basildon, and the experience was truly awe-inspiring. Join me as I share a glimpse into the beauty and significance of this sacred event through my photographs. The Beauty of Baptism: In the Orthodox faith, baptism holds great importance as it signifies rebirth and entry into the Christian community. The ceremony is steeped in symbolism, with rituals that carry deep spiritual meaning. From the pouring of holy water to the anointing […]
As a parent, there’s nothing quite as rewarding as sharing a passion with your child. For me, that passion is photography, and I recently had the pleasure of teaching my 6-year-old daughter the basics of using a camera. We set up our cozy home studio at Ozgo Productions and got to work. I started by taking photos of her and my wife, trying out different outfits. Shortly after, she took over. I showed her how to zoom in and out, adjust the aperture, and frame a subject. It was amazing to see how quickly she picked up on everything and […]
Macro Photography (photographing small objects to make them look larger in the photo) is a form of photography that I always liked but never had the tools to do… properly. To get the ball rolling I finally decided to get an entry-level macro lens and start experimenting. This lens is not even available anymore but you might find similar products. One of the first images captured with this lens was in my garden behind the shed where this garden spider with a white cross on its back was hanging out. (no pun intended). I have to admit that I am […]

Diana was born on Friday, 26 August 2016 at Queen’s Hospital in Romford at 7:05 am. When she was only two days old she has her first photo session. The next photo session at 3 weeks old when aunt Victoria and grandma came to visit. The third photo session was at 6 weeks old, and you can easily see how much she has changed.

Tower Bridge at night Trying to photograph a city scape after sunset it’s a bit tricky but not impossible. Most of today’s cameras are able to capture good photos even on auto but if you want better results you will need to:
