When you’ve been a professional photographer for longer than you care to remember, as is the case for me, you learn a few things along the way! In this article, we’ll look at some of the things that I consider essential, as well as a few things that might put a wry smile on your face. BACK IT UP We live in a digital age and I honestly can’t think of anything more important than backing up your work. Computers are not infallible and if you only store your work on your hard drive, you could be in for a broken heart if the whole system crashes. Back up your work and then back it up again! There are a wealth of options – portable hard drives, time capsules, cloud…

Photographic Speciality/Style: Advertising, Editorial & Fine Art Photography, Director & Cinematography Short Bio: Alex Telfer is an Advertising, Editorial and Fine Art photographer born and raised in the industrial North East of England. Born at the very end of 1969 in Dipton, Co Durham, Alex’s great passions became Motocross and Art. However, his promising Motocross career was abruptly halted at the age of 16 following a serious injury. This event would prove to be a pivotal moment in the redirection of his career as he began to focus more heavily on Art and Design. After initially intending to pursue a career as an Art Director or Graphic Designer, Alex was introduced to photography and he became instantly captivated from the very first experience. At the age of 18, Alex proceeded…

Let’s set the scene: We’re at a wedding in the year 2035. Upon first glance, this wedding could have taken place any time in the previous one hundred years or so: the bride is beautiful, the cake is stale and mediocre, the DJ plays the “Chicken Dance” song, and everyone says an affectionate “Awwww” as the young flower girl and ring bearer walk down the aisle. But there is one big difference that lets us know we’re not in the 2030s, not the 1930s: before the ceremony, as the wedding party gathers around for a group photo, the official wedding photographer whips out an iPhone 16 and mounts it to a tripod (she didn’t spend the extra $500 to get the version with the anti-gravity drive that lets the phone…

If you asked the average person, many would characterize the summer of 2016’s monsoon season as a down season. Not a lot of storms overall and it seemed generally more quiet. And in many ways it actually was a slower season. All told, I chased about 36 days for this film, which was less than the 48 in 2015. We had an early start in late June, and then it was dead for almost three weeks. When I looked back and realized I chased 12 less days…yeah, it definitely had less action than normal. But to a storm chaser, none of this really means anything. Sure there were days when nothing was remotely possible to chase, but most of the time the monsoon can be found in the far corners…
