The first day of filming had arrived, and I was up early in the megacity they call Seoul in South Korea. My cameras were ready, I had a plan for the day, and I was raring to go. I was eager to get started, and with patience not being one of my strong points, I decided to hit the ground running and planned to cover three stories in one day!
It was going to be a busy day, but with the help of my local guide and fixer, Jimmy, I had high hopes.
Seoul is a fantastic city, even with jetlag! But when you find yourself stuck in a hotel room far away from home, just about to embark on a three-week-long self-funded trip to create a travel documentary about a new country, even in a mega-city like Seoul (which is full of friendly souls and smiling faces) self-doubt can creep in. And if this is left to fester, worse, the Black Dog can arrive, along with his friend, Imposter Syndrome, and this combination of negativity can soon become a filmmaker or photographer’s biggest challenge on assignment.

During my many years working as a professional photographer, I've learned to step away from the centre of the action/story for a moment. And this photo demonstrates why I work like this, perfectly.

Read MoreTaking photographs in low light without a steady tripod to hand can be a real problem. This can especially be true when you're travelling, as often carrying a tripod all day isn't an option; after all, you're already weighed down with all those cameras, lenses and emergency snacks! In this blog post, I'll share a low light photography tip that I've been using for years, and that might make all the difference on your next photo adventure.
Read MoreI love travelling with my cameras and photographing some of the unique cities, landscapes and cultures I discover. In this travel photography blog update, I'm exploring Valencia in Spain and heading to the famous, Valencia Bullring the Plaza de Toros de Valencia.
Read MoreValencia is a beautiful Spanish city and one of my favourite places to wander around taking photos, especially the historic Old Town, El Carmen. It was a Sunday, so the Old Town was quiet, apart from the occasional chiming of church bells, as I wandered around. The early morning sunlight was casting its beautiful golden glow on the buildings a perfect day for some street photography.
