That Photo FeelingTFL 012 - How Matty works a wedding (pt2)In part 2 of my chat with wedding photographer Matty Houlder, we continue to dig deep into providing a wonderful experience and photos for the lovely couple on their big day.

That Photo FeelingTFL 011 - How Matty Works a Wedding (pt.1)We reach out waaaay over to Australia for our guest this week, Matty Houlder to share his advice after setting up his wedding photography business in the last year!

Part 1 of 2, there's a lot to get through here and nice one Matty for the generous sharing! LINKS: Matty's website: m...2018-10-191h 01

That Photo FeelingThis Photo Life #005 - PerspectivesThis time on "This Photo Life" it's thoughts on perspective and how to shake things up a little, and further news of Photo Tour Brugge 2015 that I'm hosting on April 11th.
I might even be getting used to this podcast thing and finding a rythym, that or it's all nicely going to crap... All a matter of perspective and certainly part of the fun! ;)

That Photo FeelingThis Photo Life #002 - Relationships: Mirrorless & OtherwiseThis 2nd episode of This Photo Life dives into mirrorless cameras, at least as how Andy sees it. We'll talk about why you'll want to consider this format regardless of your photo experience, and offer up some Andy opinions on which brands/systems (Nikon/Canon/Olympus/Lumix/Fuji/Lieca) you may want to consider.
Then, Mrs Andy(!) drops by to chat about being in a relationship with a photographer, from hanging out on holiday through to when "it's all part of the job".
Hope you enjoy!
