Hello,
September was a little crazy and went by way too quickly. October is here and next week i’ll be 33, soon my son will turn 5 and so will my photography YouTube channel!
But I’m not here to list things that have happened and are going to happen because that would be really boring for you…Instead I’m going to pop some photos, some videos, a podcast, a substack rec and maybe a few words below for you to save for your train or car journey or where ever you find yourself in need of an internet friend.
I’m always here for you on one of the platforms guys!
These past few months I’ve been carrying a Nikon Coolpix and I honestly love the photos. I thought it would be like a novelty thing where it’s cool…but it’s not that cool. I can confirm that this thing takes really coolpix. See below.
I’ll be sharing a video soon on why this feels so much more fun than taking those everyday moment snaps with your smartphone. Keep an eye out!
If you missed it I recently compared the Canon 5DC to the D700 and reveal my preference. It’s a fun watch and plenty of great convo’s going on in the comments so get in there.
I also have a roadtrip adventure (a little bit vlog style even) shooting the AMAZING D200. This camera blew me away with it’s colours - the hype is real on this one guys! This is the kind of video I want to make on the channel moving forward so if you do like this please like and let me know so the algo knows too and I can take you on more travel photo trips!
Other than cameras all a girl wants is handbags and shoes…well this one anyway.
Honestly I’m not a huge shopper or anything but I love a well designed item like a structured handbag or a beautiful square toe slingback like the one pictured below that I shot recently with the D200 and a new flash set up.
Today I spent some time in the city working on a fun video for the ethical and always stylish Sans Beast. Look out for that soon on Instagram and I’l share more pics here too but here is an XT4 shot from today…
So I started a movie review channel about a month ago now and tbh I was feeling really vulnerable and insecure about doing something new online but boy am I glad I did!
I’ve been back watching movies way more often now and it’s fueling me creatively when we go out and shoot/film. It’s also exposed me to a whole new community of people who also love cinema and it’s great to see some of the photography crew come over and get involved - thank you!
I do love a heavy, full on, tense, edge of your seat kind of watch so here is a list of some that are very good but are only a one watch type of situation.
To cleanse the palette and curb your nightmares you want to watch this video afterwards that covers a handful of indie gems that are truly overlooked and underrated. A few of them were shot on film too!
While your over there you can also catch my real time out of theatre reaction to the new Benny Safdie film The Smashing Machine which was very different to what I expected. I have some more thoughts to add on this film so I’m trying to gear myself up to do a livestream on the topic…
I’m really stoked to be sharing about one of my biggest passions and have an additional creative outlet to photography/cameras.
My good friend Alessia E Art is finally on Substack!
You might have watched my interview with her recently and seen the photo shoot we did together but since then Alessia has been making big moves with her snail mail club and it’s nearly at 1000 people!!! INSANE!
Alessia is a wonderful writer and a great source of inspo for anyone wanting to build a consistent online presence and turnt hat into something meaningful like a snail mail club.
Read Alessia’s first article below.
I have been listening to the My Daily Business podcast for about 4 years now, maybe more and I never dreamed I would be a guest and then I was!
A pinch me moment and tbh I can’t even listen back past the lovely intro that Fiona the host gave me because I was so excited I feel like I just couldn’t contain myself during the chat.
I’ve had some amazing feedback from those of you who have listened and I urge you to listen back to the other interview episodes with creatives of all kinds because you truly never know what goes into someones journey and it’s humbling to hear it so candidly.
Listen below and be sure to hit up Fiona and tell her you found it helpful!
Thanks for hanging out with me on here guys and i’ll talk to you in the next one.
Love Lucy x
