Planning Your First Photoshoot: What Do You ...

It’s no secret that I have a lot of clients with their own blogs or YouTube channels, and in most cases it’s the first time they’ve worked with a professional photographer. It can a little daunting to have a stranger pointing a DSLR at you when you’re used to your mum or significant other taking your photos. What are you supposed to wear? How do you pose? I appreciate that it might be overwhelming, so I thought I’d write this post or anyone who’s thinking of investing in a photoshoot soon… and no, it doesn’t have to be with me! (But, you know, I’m pretty good. Just saying.)

My Photography Wishlist

Hi, I'm Alice, and I really like cameras. Photography is seriously expensive - whether you consider it a hobby, or a career. I'm lucky enough to already have most of the equipment I could possibly need, but when you're using a camera that's a few years old it's easy to start eyeing up the newer models.

Falling out of Love with YouTube

I never thought I'd be writing a post like this, because from the age of 22 my dream was to be a "YouTuber". But I just don't love YouTube anymore. Back in 2012, I had just started a Masters Degree, and was overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. YouTube was (or at least felt like) a safe place for me to escape.

Is Regular Content Better Than Perfect Content?

Is Regular Content Better Than Perfect Content?

For as long as I’ve been creating content, I’ve always had one particular struggle, and I’m curious to see if this affects anyone else.The problem is that I’m a massive perfectionist. I have an obsessive need to make everything I produce a certain standard, and usually end up feeling drained and exhausted as a result. This can make producing regular content very difficult as tasks take much longer than they probably should.

Inside my Notebooks

It's a well known fact that if you were to look inside my brain, you would be lost in illegible black scribbles. You know, the ones you write down at one in the morning when you have quite possibly the best idea you've ever had in your life - then look at it the next day and decide that it's terrible and that you're terrible and a terrible artist and you should have just got a "proper job".
