Irwin takes you through a day’s schedule of shooting a wedding, and what’s involved. I was in Australia shooting a wedding recently (photos at www.irwinwong.com/blog), and I realised that this wou...

On a compositional theme we explored from Tsukishima through to Monzen-nakacho Sunday we all met in Tsukishima around 3pm and the theme for the walk was ‘composition’. We worked on a number of the...

…even out on to my balcony to have a smoke. These days there are plenty of ways you can always make sure you have a camera with you, from the not-so-humble-anymore mobile phone all the way up to sup...

On a compositional theme we’ll be exploring from Tsukishima through to Kyosumi-Shirakawa. Sunday we’ll meet around 3pm and the theme for the walk is ‘composition’. We’ll be working on a numb...

Recent workshop reversed the theme of our recent ‘world at my feet’ series. After the success of our recent ‘The World at my Feet’ workshop I though we would literally turn that world on its h...

How a simple cardboard frame can help you out, even when you’re a pro. Cheap or free is good sometimes and in the case of our lo-fi aid to getting your head around composition, this is 100% true: it...

A quick look at the work of Joel Sternfeld, who I first found in 1988. I have made articles for the site in the past about photographers who have inspired me and I want to make it a weekly item. So, h...

It’s about time we all got out of town again and had a bit of seaside action. Enoshima is not exactly the quietest of places on the weekend but not all of us have the luxury of being free in the wee...

I’ve shot there for ten years but am encountering more twats than ever. I love Tsukiji Fish market and have been shooting there, on and off, for about 10 years now. There’s a book on the way soon,...

Following the workshop I did for kids last week, a bunch of us took to the streets on the same theme. My wife has this strange obsession…. it’s useful one though; looking for money on the pavement...

A bit of recon the other week for a photowalk we’ll be doing in the autumn. A couple of weeks ago myself, my son Joe and a friend of mine – Meg – all went off early in the morning to have a wand...

Coal Miki-Restall highlights some astonishing white-balance issues. I read Coal’s post today and immediately asked him if I could re-publish it here, so glaring was the issue he was trying to highli...

We like this set of shots by Mike Kulyk, from a jam-session in Uzu. “I really enjoy shooting people making music”, says Mike. I know how you feel, sir. It was all I did from about 1992 to 2001 –...

Atmospheric shots from a member of our Flickr group. I’ll be trawling the pool for more of FujiRock soon but I just wanted to draw you all to a few shots from Simon, which I thought were a slightly ...

Time to re-assess the ‘why’ of it all. Golden Rule Number 1: all censorship is bad. Remove the right for someone to do something and you remove the ability to debate, rationally and sensibly, the ...

Some new layouts from our first weekend photography field-trip Last weekend brought the first Japanorama overnight field-trip out of  Tokyo. We plan to do one of these every season and already planni...

Some shots from last week’s walk around the Sky Tree part of town. Student’s layouts are on their way in to us at the moment. We asked people to produce a magazine layout similar to the one we did...
