| | ☃️ Yay, it’s that time of year 🎄Am I the only one who remembers Christmas time with snow on the ground? Seems like that never happens anymore 😟 Anyway, I hope you have managed to endure the year and with a few weeks off, be ready to start the New Year with a fresh outlook and determination to make it the best. BTW, I do not do New Year's resolutions, whilst I respect anyone who does, I don’t like that sort of pressure on myself, but I do set myself goals to aspire to and going up towards the Arctic Circle to see the Northern Lights (with the backdrop to match) is on this year's list. Yes, I know we’ve seen them more than ever this year here in the UK, but it doesn’t quite have the same appeal 😬 Now, rather than Christmas cards this year, I decided to play in the studio and create a little scene to wish you all a Merry Christmas 🎄 | | | |

| | A hare-raising AI success story🎥 Confession time: I make videos for a living - so you’d think I’d be immune to the whole “AI takeover” chatter, right?Well… not quite 😅As much as I love the craft of storytelling, shooting, editing and all the lovely chaos that comes with video creation, there’s no ignoring how fast AI is evolving, especially when it comes to video. And honestly? I think it’s important you know about it too.That’s why I wanted to share this brilliant real-world case study from Google about how AI is being used to create high-quality videos (yes, really! and what it could mean for creators, marketers, and business owners like you. 👇Whether you’re curious, cautious, or downright intrigued, this is a fascinating look at where video and AI are heading, and I promise, it’s worth a read even if you’re team “old-school filmmaking forever.” 😉 | | | |

| | | | Antiques
When your products need to attract customers who value quality and examine every detail before buying, high-quality product photography becomes essential. This was a fantastic shoot, and I was amazed by the history of all the pieces and think that is part of the charm of antiques, not just the intricate detail, but also all the history that goes with it. | | | |
