Welcome to Coffee & Cameras!

This is my space to ramble about all things photography and creativity, usually written out of a coffee shop, and planned to be the type of content you can read while taking 5-10 minutes out of your day, for example while enjoying a coffee.

Something that will come as a surprise to absolutely no-one: I love talking about photography. Whether recounting travel stories, discussing behind the scenes details of shoots, or just nerding out about gear, these are the sort of ramblings I have with my friends, as well as the content I tend to watch and read myself. 

I’ve had the idea in mind to try and get some of my own stories and thoughts written down for literally years, and it’s a project that has taken many forms.

Since 2018 I’ve flirted with the idea of starting a YouTube channel, something I’d still like to do but I’m not the most confident on camera, hate filming myself, and wouldn’t want to subject people to long periods of time hearing my voice.

I actually got around to writing blogs in 2022 and 2023 but read them back to myself a few days later and cringed just as hard as when you tried to write a song as a teenager and read that back at a later date. Unfortunately, not all of us can be Jon Krakauer.

But here we are, firing up the blog again, with a ton of ideas ready, trips and shoots that I’ve shared the photos of but never the stories, and a slightly increased amount of time on my hands after I’ve committed to cutting down my Instagram posting schedule.

My first ‘proper’ blog is already up about shooting film on a recent trip to Disney World Florida, which can be read HERE.

My aim is to publish one piece a week to try and keep things fresh but also set a realistic target for myself.

Thanks for coming along for the ride, now sit down and enjoy a good coffee!
