It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

Taken at concerts and festivals, hoping to get the opportunity to capture the decisive moment (a la Henri Cartier-Bresson).

People create unexpected and fascinating subjects, always take a few shots and choose the best one, it's amazing what difference a second makes...capture the moment! With animals it varies due to unpredictability and species, take your time and study their movements.

Being eye-catching is the key, whether through colour combination or texture, use the camera like a third eye, a scene can look different when seen through the eye of a lens.

Composition is key. Follow basic photography rules such as lead in lines, the rule of thirds and shooting in the golden hour. Telling a story or creating interest with texture or colour can also give great results.

There are five cornerstones techniques when creating black and white images: contrast, tone, shadow, shape and texture and these can apply to many styles such as landscape or street photography.
