One Week Later – Will Affinity Replace Adobe?

Following the announcement from Affinity last week, I’ve gone all in. Seven days of exclusive use, and not just for photography purposes, either.

Another one that would work pretty well as an album cover 🖤

My kaleidoscopic rendition of The Shard, London 🇬🇧

One of my first ever Fleeting Reflections photos. This is exactly how it appeared on the camera. It reminded me instantly of the artwork on Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures album cover. No photoshop involved.

One of the best video tutorials I've seen on the Pixel studio (the equivalent of Photoshop) in the new Affinity app.

Recommended viewing for any photographers/designer/artists.

The Competitive Advantage of Not Using AI 🚫

How agreeing to no AI being used in the final work could potentially become a strong selling point 🧐 Especially in the creative industries.

Would you really want to hire a freelancer or agency that heavily used AI? What if it's not all it's cracked up to be after all? Could there be a rising demand

Laguna Lake in the morning fog. Someone hung the rope from the tree some time ago, and there it remains. 🤷🏼‍♀️

#EastCoastKin #LandscapePhotography
Black and white image of dense fog that almost completely obscures the houses on the other side of the lake. In the foreground are the much more defined silhouettes of a eucalyptus tree branch bending over and reed grasses. There is a rope with a loop at the end tied to the branch of the tree. The lake shoreline has small to medium sized loose rocks. Laguna Lake, San Luis Obispo, California.

From my Horse series 🖤
A grey horse standing against a darkened sky. The picture is taken from the ground looking up. The horse is eating with his head to the ground & merges into the right hand corner of the image. A black and white photograph of a grey horse standing against a darkened sky. The horse is cropped & just shows his head and neck- the light hits the top of he neck & highlights some of the mane that sticks up. His ears are slightly back. A black and white photograph of a grey horse - the horse is centered and looking directly into the camera. A black and white photograph of a grey horse moving away from the camera- the photo is taken from the ground looking up & captured a bit of the horse’s neck (mane) and ear and eye.
