  13. Networking

    I have talked a number of times about making sure that you get out what you put into your networking. Networking is one of those things that if you commit the time to it and put the effort outside of the meetings where you see people, will pay dividends. I…

  14. Prudhoe Business Magazine

    This last week was very nostalgic and an eye-opening shoot with Alan Sawyers from AS Design based in Prudhoe. I was born and raised in Prudhoe and have spent 15 years away and I have gone back to nearly nearly Prudhoe. My Dad still lives there and so I am…

  15. New kit

    Is it time for a new camera? I have always been of the approach that any new equipment has to be a justifiable expense. I don’t particularly like spending money unless these are tangible outputs on the back of it. I have been more so this year and I think…

  16. BEELINE - George Bromley’s epic challenge

    Anybody that’s been following me for a while knows that I’ve spent a lot of time recently being fascinated by the mindset of individuals that take on that challenge.  We all have that thing that floats around at the back of our heads, that goes, ‘Oh, I’d like to do…

  17. Everglow Media- Sisk Shoot

    I was on the road to York and Leeds a couple of weeks ago, working for a big infrastructure company, doing some massive works to the rail network and surrounding local infrastructure. The reason I was down there was actually golf and I love tying things back to golf, as…

  18. Revitalise Networking - Scotland’s finest

    It was great being able to be part of the Revitalise Network January meeting ( Yes, I’m late blogging about it!). I’ve known Lee for probably four years now and he’s, as he joked in the call, ‘The Geordie living up in the wilds of Irvine, in Ayrshire.’ And it…

  19. Networking

    For me and my business, networking has been a key element since I first started, well over 15 years ago now.  I’ve always been good at talking to people, whether that be people I know or people that I’ve just met.  I can engage in conversation and I can chat…

  20. 2022

    2022I’m not quite sure how this came around. In my head it’s still around 2018 and that Covid thing didn’t really happen but here we are in the depths of a financial crisis and another year gone. It’s all fun and happy, isn’t it   I say that in jest obviously…

  21. Headshots time of year

    Are you at the point in the year where you feel new headshots would be good for the business? All of us have pictures on various platforms that are a little bit out of date. I remember back in a previous life at a certain local authority and I remember…

  22. Commonwealth Games

    When most of you say holiday the thing that jumps to mind is a couple of weeks on an all-inclusive beach somewhere relaxing.  This is not something that me and my family have ever done for the past 20 years or so that me and my wife have been together…

  23. Wanders at Warkworth

    So driving up to Warkworth over the weekend, I had to shoot a wedding. I know I don’t necessarily talk about weddings on here these days, but I do if friends or family or people I know do come to me with wedding requests, I’m more than happy to shoot…

  25. SweetSpot student property

    For the last month it’s been great working with the SweetSpot team who are based down in London but have properties in Newcastle, Nottingham, Liverpool and various other places around the UK.  So obviously I’ve been working on the Newcastle properties of late.  There’s 10 blocks of eight properties just…
