AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I’ll start by saying I’ve spent more time in London’s west end than usual this weekend. On Friday night I headed in to see the movie Franklyn which I spoke about in my last blog, you remember, the one that was filmed on my street? It’s fair to say it was an unusual movie, I […]

Roughly 18 months ago I received an exciting letter in the post. It told me that in a few weeks time some Hollywood film makers were coming to town and using my street (yes, MY STREET!!) to film part of their new movie. The filming was taking place maybe 100 metres from my front door, […]

Way back in April last year, in the early days of simonbills.com, I decided to post an entry detailing how I got into photography and some of my early photos, check it out here if you like. At the end of that post I promised “for the next instalment of my photographic odyssey you’ll see […]

Once again I’m pushing the boundaries of what the blogging / photography art form can withstand by doing another entry without any photos. I’m here today to introduce you to a couple of new things.

If you live in the UK, or have friends who live in the UK, or if you read the Sydney Morning Herald who seem to have an unnatural obsession with the motherland you’ll know that we’re having some pretty serious snow at the moment. In the spirit of striking while the iron is hot (or […]

In the world before cheap SLR cameras primal chaos reigned, Canon sought order but the Nikon can fly only when its feathers are grown.

While more conventional photo blogs are posting subjects like “Best photo of 2008” (I assume, the only ones I look at never seem to get updated – you know who you are), here at simonbills.com we’re doing things a little differently. And by a little differently I mean just that, a little differently. My personal […]

In the spirit of pushing the barriers of the photographic art form, and going places more conventional photographers fear to tread, this week’s instalment of Billo’s Photos will not contain any photos. Take that Annie Leibowitz. No, instead of showing off some dazzling photos from the week just been, and coming up with some insightful […]

When my business parter Danny and I put out a few ads out 6 months ago offering our services as wedding photographers one of the first responses was from Shabnam asking if we’d be interested in covering her Muslim Bengali wedding. As a couple of cocksure young snappers there was no job we wouldn’t take, […]

A few weeks ago I took my second tentative step into the big bad world of professional photography. With a solitary maternity shoot as my only paid work to date (not including a free trip around Ireland for some promotion snaps this time last year) I took on the challenge of recording photographically the most […]
