It was fantastic to see you again IRL @rhenryhumphries.bsky.social! Glad you enjoyed the mention and pics in my column! A nice memory 🙂🙌
In the pages of We Belong Dead is my friend @emmadark.bsky.social ‘s Dark Corner - and how much I wish I was back in the UK and though was at FrightFest for a day; enjoyed the hell out of it.
I’ll have to come back for the full Fest in the future.

Back behind the lens – this time for stills. I mainly shoot with my trusty 50mm, which gives a natural, professional look (it’s closest to how we actually see). Thinking of branching out to an 85mm soon though for portrait work 📷
