Is 'Simple photography Tips' for you?


Do any of these touch a chord with your taking photographs, if so, you'll get a lot from following:


  • Are you short on time?
  • Do you want to know more about taking photographs?
  • Yearn to be creative on a walk?
  • Would you like to improve your holiday photos?
  • Are you looking for ways to improve your style?
  • Fancy a new way of expressing your Creativity?
  • Do you struggle with getting good photos?
  • Are you wanting to think outside the box?
  • Do you want better memories?


My aim is to create a series of light and chatty articles, each with a number of photographs that illustrate what I'm trying to put across. I've called it 'Simple Photography Tips', which is what it is aimed to provide.

I'm imagining that perhaps my reader is the sort of person who is often too short on time, and has had little energy to learn much about photography, but would like to improve in the small and pretty easy ways that increase your satisfaction with what you produce.

I'm not aiming it at the many of you who are already totally up to speed, and indeed could perhaps feel you could teach me a thing or to!

So many people nowadays use only the phone on their camera, so most of my photography tutorials are based around this form of camera. I currently use an iphone 14 pro, which maybe gives me more options than some phones, but not all. Android users have some great options, some of which I'm unfamiliar with, but most suggestions are adaptable or inter-changeable.

My story sort of begins with my father, who introduced me to photography - he carried a Retina film camera on holidays, with a marked preference for landscape images, with only a smattering of family images. We differ in that most of my professional work in the last two and a half decades has been intensely natural portrait photography, for families, professional headshots, and the most loved of school portraits. Landscape and nature is my release, which is my motive for sharing with you.
