  • Lower Heyford Village Fete 2018

    Thank you for joining in the fun of the fete and letting me take your photo in our pop-up studio.

    Don’t panic – these are only thumbnails!  You have not lost the top of your head.  Simply click on any thumbnail to open up large images in a “lightbox”.

    To download your image, wait until it appears in the “lightbox”, then hover your mouse over it, this should stop any scrolling.  Now RIGHT CLICK and select “Save image as…”.  This will download a full size image which you are welcome to use however you would like.  (Mac instructions are different, but if you have one you will already know this!)

    If you want to get a print for framing, then copy the file you have downloaded onto a memory stick or into your phone’s memory.  For perfectly good prints you can use the DIY printing station at places like Boots (there’s one in Summertown, for example).   Alternatively, for a really superb print, you can pop into Imagex on Bicester High Street – the guys there will help you get the best image and they are very reasonably priced too.

    Any other questions, do drop me a line on graham@utopia.photo and I will do my best to help.

  • The Emotional Response

    When we look at an image it provokes a uniquely personal emotional response. The great photographers know how to stimulate this. The first step is to understand ourselves and to know where our own emotional responses come from. This short ebook looks at this process in more detail and then gives examples illustrating the kind of self-analysis that you can use for you own work.

  • Towpath Portraits

    [wonderplugin_slider id=1]

    A series of portraits representing the users of towpaths and footpaths adjacent to canals, rivers and similar water-courses.

    In the UK, a substantial proportion of drownings each year are of these users – few of whom ever intended being in the water. When someone unexpectedly enters water, they are likely to suffer from ‘cold water shock’ syndrome – a condition which disorients them, disturbs their physiology, provokes gasping, panic, and even cardiac arrest. This makes it substantially harder for them to rescue themselves and explains why many people drown within ONE MINUTE of immersion.
