I've seen a mix of different bits and pieces on socials just lately. A lot of it negativity. I've also heard some shocking things from people who have come across negativity in their work and it inspired me to write some of my own thoughts below. And I stand by them:
Your follower count and social media standing does not make you a better or worse photographer than someone else.
Stop comparing yourself to others based on these numbers. They are a meaningless snapshot in time. They are a crude and outdated tool used in a social popularity contest and do not reflect your own or other’s creative skills or abilities.
Don’t put down fellow photographers or discourage them. Instead, support them and encourage them. Everyone is at a different point in their journey, and we never stop learning. So learn how to grow and challenge yourself without comparing yourself competitively to those around you.
But most of all, just ENJOY YOUR ART.

Exciting update on our workshop!
As most of you know, on October 11th we are hosting our Cinematic Photography & Lighting Workshop based at the spectacular Basford Photography & Filming Location, along with 2 amazingly talented, and well established models (Its.chloehill & Piezorplays).
In addition we are proud to announce the exciting news that we will now be collaborating with Essential Photo & Video, Godox and Pixapro for this workshop.
At this full day 8 hour workshop session, you’ll have the chance to learn tips and techniques from 3 experienced mentors (myself ‘Iphotouk’, Tom ‘Switch_8.9’, and Shalimar ‘Shalimarsstuff’), with a wide range of experience in the field of cinematic style photography & lighting, both in the cosplay community & beyond.
We’ll provide both theory & practical mentoring for up to a maximum of 10 photographers, where you will get the chance to not only learn about what makes a cinematic image, and how to create it, but also have ample opportunity to get hands on throughout the day to create your own cinematic masterpieces with both models around the venue, all under the watchful guidance of our experienced mentors.
We’ll also have a selection of lighting on set from Godox/Pixapro provided by our event partner for this event (Essential Photo & Video) to show you how to get the best possible lighting setups to make your shots truly cinematic, as well as having some products for you to get hands on with yourself throughout the day. However, please feel free to bring your own lighting equipment if you prefer.
In addition, we’ll also provide food and drink throughout the day. So the only thing you will really need to bring is yourself and your camera.
And all of this for just £225 per person. To secure your space all we require is a £100 deposit, with the remaining balance to be paid no later than 14 days before the event (all deposits are non refundable).
We now have very limited spaces left for this event. So to avoid missing out, contact us directly via our Nexus 13socials, or DM Iphotouk/Switch 89 to book now.
We look forward to welcoming you on this cinematic journey at Basford this autumn.

I’ve always wanted to cosplay Tink — she’s such a nostalgic character for me — and I finally got to make that dream come true ✨🧚♀️
This absolutely beautiful dress was made for me by @mollynguyen_design, and I genuinely can’t begin to explain how stunning it is or how deeply in love I am with every detail. Thank you so much for helping bring this dream to life 💚
Thank you also to @iphotouk for creating this stunning shot!

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
Keep track of Instagram updates discreetly while protecting your privacy and staying anonymous.
View profiles and photos anonymously with ease using the Private Profile Viewer.
This free tool allows you to view Instagram Stories anonymously, ensuring your activity remains hidden from the story uploader.

Prioritizes secure, anonymous browsing without requiring login credentials.
Users can view public stories by simply entering a username—no account needed.
Downloads photos (JPEG) and videos (MP4) with ease.
