Why do we pick up a camera? Photography isn’t just about images — it’s about noticing, creating, connecting, and remembering. This is a look at what draws us to the craft and why it matters, even if no one else sees our work.

Can you really do photography on a budget and still get good images? I put that idea to the test with a £110 Sony A-350 from 2008 — proof that you don’t need the latest gear to capture something worth keeping.

A slower space for black and white photography, countryside walks, and quiet moments from everyday England — where the focus is on the picture, not the platform.

Why I choose to shoot black-and-white JPEGs straight out of camera — minimal editing, a simple approach focused on how each scene feels and unfolds.
