What happens when a photograph becomes a painting? For my From Lens to Line exhibition, I wanted to explore the connection between the different ways I see the world — through photography, illustration and painting. This video takes you behind the scenes of one part of that journey, starting high above the landscape with my drone footage and ending with paint on canvas.

Localism In my previous blog, The Future of Photography, I talked about the changing world of photography and the incredible technology that is now available to photographers.

Our imagination, emotions, curiosity and personal style all influence the way we see the world through a lens. Creative photography is about learning to look beyond the obvious. It

From Observation to Creative Image Photography is about far more than simply pressing the shutter button. At its best, photography is about seeing — noticing light, colour, shapes, textures, patterns and moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed. Whether you're using a smartphone, compact camera, mirrorless camera or DSLR, developing your photographic eye can make a far greater difference than simply upgrading your equipment. Learning to See Differently One of the most impo
