AI image enhancement software is becoming increasingly common in a photographer’s toolkit. Whether it’s upscaling images, reducing noise, sharpening details, or restoring old photographs, there seems to be a new AI-powered solution appearing every month. When AiArty reached out and offered me a review licence, I was curious to see how it would perform. The challenge, however, is that I already ha…

Two Small Light Modifiers, Two Very Different Jobs One thing I’ve noticed recently is that manufacturers are producing more compact lighting accessories to suit the growing range of portable Speedlight/Flashes & LED lights on the market. That’s great news for photographers and content creators who don’t necessarily want to lug around giant softboxes and bulky modifiers for every shoot. Recently I…

A Pocket-Sized Flash with Big Ambitions Over the past couple of years, Neewer has quietly built a lighting ecosystem that has become genuinely impressive. I’ve used everything from their Q6 battery strobes through to the Z3 speedlight, and one thing that consistently surprises me is just how much value Neewer manages to pack into its products. The new Neewer Q120 sits somewhere between a traditio…

I’ll admit it, I’m a little late to the party. After taking a month away from work recently, I’ve been playing catch-up with software updates, product reviews, workshops and everything else that tends to pile up while you’re away. One of those updates was Aftershoot. Now before anyone points out that Aftershoot’s editing features aren’t exactly new, you’re absolutely right. I’ve actually been usi…

Action cameras have changed a lot over the years. What once felt like niche cameras built purely for mountain bikers, surfers and people throwing themselves out of perfectly good airplanes have slowly become everyday content tools for creators, travellers and vloggers. I’ve used quite a few action cameras over the years for everything from behind-the-scenes workshop footage and travel videos to Y…

Compact, Sharp and Surprisingly Capable When Viltrox offered to send over the new AF 75mm f/1.8 EVO for review, I was keen to see how it would perform in the real world. As someone who enjoys shooting portraits, I have always appreciated lenses in the 75-85mm range. They offer flattering perspective, good subject separation and are often a go-to choice for headshots and tighter portraits. That sa…

There’s something a little addictive about photographing waterfalls. Maybe it’s the sound of rushing water, the cool damp air, or that moment when you slow the shutter down and suddenly the chaos becomes smooth, silky movement. Either way, once you start experimenting with long exposure photography, it’s very hard to stop at just one. These images were captured deep in lush rainforest surrounding…
