AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

On Saturday I headed out with my friends Shane and Siobhan for what is to be our last Shoot Experience experience. Regulars to this blog may recall several previous posts that involved much gloating and photos of winners badges, this time round you will find neither of those things, just a giant bunch of sour […]

With daylight savings just 4 short days away this is the last week for any Londoners wanting to leave work at 5:30, grab their tripods and walk straight out into the glorious light of the magic hour (with plenty of time to find your spot and get everything ready). As of next week the ideal […]

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 […]

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. The two worlds formed again and yet again, as endless aeons wheeled and passed. The moistures of the Earth, all the powers of the Sun and Moon, all worked upon a […]

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 […]
