Capturing the perfect sunrise or sunset photo is a dream for many photographers. The vibrant colours, dappled lighting and serene landscapes can create breath taking images, but it can often be difficult to photograph and convey the true beauty of the scene. Trying to do these unique moments justice to accurately replicate the wonder we can see with the naked eye requires a certain level of skill.

Whether it’s photos of special memories or your favourite works of art, hanging up pictures on your wall is a great way to add pops of colour or personable touches to your interior décor. It can help make a statement or simply make a room feel more homely as you showcase your favourite images.

Preserving cherished memories in a photo album is a great way to look back on special moments and keep them alive forever. However, choosing how to mount your photos inside the album can make all the difference in creating a visually appealing collection. Whether you’re assembling a wedding album, showcasing a creative scrapbook, or simply archiving family pictures, choosing the right mounting method is key to achieving the perfect look and ensuring your photos are organised and well-protected for years to come.

If you’re a photography enthusiast, it’s time to mark your calendars for the year ahead as 2025 promises an exciting line-up of world-class photography exhibitions that are sure to inspire. From ground-breaking retrospectives of legendary photographers to progressive contemporary showcases, and displays that capture significant eras of the past, the upcoming year’s exhibitions are set to captivate, inspire, and challenge your perception of visual storytelling. 

Whether you’re filming a video for social media or taking the plunge into landscape photography, one issue all creatives come across at one point or another is shaky footage and ruined shots. Even if you’re filming at home, the last thing you want is to be mid-capturing your masterpiece and for your phone or camera to fall off the carefully balanced books you’ve placed and ruin the moment. So, no matter if you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned film and photography expert, a tripod is a must when looking to master your next piece.

When it comes to choosing the perfect photo frame, it’s more than just picking a design that complements the image and your home décor. Accurate measurements are crucial to ensure that your cherished memories are displayed just as you envision. Whether you’re looking to frame family portraits, holiday memories, art prints or certificates, getting the frame size right is essential to not only protecting the image but also creating your desired aesthetic.

When it comes to displaying your favourite memories or art, choosing the right-sized photo frame is just as important as selecting the piece that is being framed. Whether you’re framing a family portrait, a piece of artwork, or a moment captured during a special occasion, the size of the frame can greatly impact the overall look and feel of your display.
