Given the current state of Ai (advanced) and the commonality of the messages, I can only assume that for some reason, the platforms (Facebook and Etsy) are happy to host these scammers. If there were not, I can see no reason at all why these messages would not be delivered

I am a Sussex based photographer providing imagery for the entertainment industry.
My working time is split fairly evenly between London and Sussex although I have worked all around the world; from Europe covering the BAFTA's, Glastonbury, Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals, to the USA covering The Oscars.
Passing knowledge & experience on is very important to me and so I am proud to say I have served on the Board of the British Press Photographers Association, helping to improve the image and practices of working press photographers. I educate by writing a widely read “technical” blog detailing my use of Fuji cameras and other equipment as well as giving talks about Press (and other aspects of) Photography to camera clubs and groups.
Unleashing my inner Gru…
As I walked along the seafront just before the first sunrise of 2024, I looked up at the moon, thought about the film and it made me smile. It is just a constant we take for granted, having its every day impact on us and the seas. So I raised my camera to take a snap.
2023 Round Up Pt.3 : Red Carpet
I am not saying these are my best red carpet images of 2023 but I think they all convey a sense of "moment" from the carpet.
2023 Round Up Pt.2 : Music
I do not photograph as much music as I use to. That said, I did cover a few events that I wanted to, including Peter Gabriel (I had not seen him for years and my son was one of the technical team), Glastonbury and The Boss.
2023 Round Up Pt.1 : Kermode
It's that time of year when photographers put together their best bits of the year past... Instead of a selection from everything I have done, I am going to (try) and focus on just a few aspects of my year.
