Smart Phone Photography

Smartphone photography is a term used to describe the art of taking high-quality photographs using a smartphone camera.

It has become increasingly popular in recent years, thanks to the ever-improving quality of the smartphone camera and the convenience they offer.

Travelling Light

One of the main reasons, I turned to Smartphone Photography was because I love to travel light.

I now use a smartphone for all my photography commissions for taking, managing, and editing photos.

I don’t need Large and Heavy Camera bags anymore.

A simple backpack is enough.

Smartphone Accessories that I use.

I use the ergonomic layout of the shiftcam ProGrip / lens and accessories, supported by its minimalist design, it allows me to concentrate fully on photographic creation during all of my smartphone commissions.

The best camera as the saying goes is the one that you have with you.
[which probably will be your smartphone].

Photo Sessions.

Register office weddings.

I capture the wedding in my own obtrusive style , you will hardly notice that I am there.

Lifestyle Family Photography.

Memories are priceless, we all wish when the moment has passed that we could go back and relive that precious moment with our loved ones .

Personal branding and Headshot photography.

The personal branding and headshot package shows who you are and what you do, a 1 hour photoshoot that includes Headshots and natural images of you working.

Smartphone photography walks for the Senior Citizen.

What if I told you that you could take professional-level photos with nothing, but your phone?

The Photowalk will give you an understanding of what apps to use to revolutionise the whole photography experience on your device, whilst you’ll also learn about specific photography skills and how to edit your masterpiece.

Smartphone photography Talks and presentations.

I take pride in engaging the audience and keeping them stimulated throughout the talks, which often finish with a lively Q&A section.

I also run team building events, as well as sessions for organisations / schools / scouts / guides and business's throughout the North East.

Smartphone photography courses.
