A photography lesson with a glass of wine, a perfect Saturday afternoon. A few weeks ago my husband and I had a day off together. He had been asking me for a long time to go over the basics of his camera. He bought a Canon 5 D mark 4 body four years ago to shoot his feature film. Chris bought his camera second hand and some of the setting were slightly different and together we were able to reset these.

It was  a lovely day so we went for a walk and headed to Tooting Markets. The staff at Indie Wine Club were super friendly and helpful, I highly recommend! They ensure we picked the right wine for our palate and I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. It was fun to shoot what I found visually interesting in the moment. Here are a few that caught my eye.

A sunny Sunday calls for lunch with friends as well as a long walk in the local park. I took my new camera with me and grabbed a few snaps. Spring is such a beautiful season and it was lovely to capture some of the recent changes in our neighbourhood. It did feel odd not to be able to review the images taken so I was very keen to get an idea of how accurate the view finder is and how the camera reacted to light. I am excited to use this camera on more shoots especially on my next portrait project. I love the analogue aesthetic and surprised at how well it works in low light. I am sure you will be seeing more images soon.

As a photographer, there’s nothing quite like being surrounded by people who share the same passion for capturing the world through a lens. That’s why I was  excited to be heading to The Photography Show  on Sunday —a must-visit event for photographers of all levels.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting your journey with a camera, this event offers a chance to explore the latest gear, learn new techniques, and connect with industry experts. I thoroughly enjoyed the many talks on hand and I was able to gain some great Lightroom tips from Scott Kelby. 

In the never ending quest to find something new, I did purchase another camera which I am exciting to try out. Unlike most digital camera this body does not contain a screen to view the images taken. So while it is a digital body, it has an analogue feel as you cannot view the images taken until you import the rushes. I will share more once I have taken this camera out for a test drive.

Incase you need any more encouragement, here are a few phone images. The exhibit is open till the 11th of March and you can find out more details here https://www.photographyshow.com/.

An elegant black dress is more than just a wardrobe staple. It is a symbol of sophistication, confidence and effortless beauty. With its ability to flatter any silhouette and transition seamlessly from day to night, you can see why everyone is preoccupied with finding their perfect LBD. The black dress remains an icon of style, celebrated in fashion history and adored by women worldwide. I had this shoot with Fransisca last month. This dress might just be perfection defined.
