Cameras and their accessories are a significant investment, and it is essential to take care of them to maintain their optimum performance. Proper camera gear maintenance extends their life span and ensures that you are getting the best possible shots.

A picture frame is more than just a means to display an image. When done with consideration, a picture frame is an essential tool to enhance the visual impact of photography, print or artwork, bringing them to life.

When it comes to picking out the perfect picture frame for your project, we’ve put something helpful hints to get the most out of your choice.

In the fast paced world we live in it might sound a little strange to be thinking about deliberately slowing things down but, from a photographer’s perspective, this approach can pay huge dividends. It might mean having to plan ahead a little more and even a little envisaging of an end result that you can’t actually see at the shooting stage, but once you’re into the swing of things it will all become second nature and you’ll be amazed at what a slower way of working can help you achieve.
