World Photography Day 2026 is celebrated TODAY, Wednesday, August 19, 2026.

We hope you celebrate by getting out and shooting! It's a glorious day for it 🌼📸

🖼️ The official global theme for 2026 is "Home". If your image fits this theme, please share with us!

This annual event marks the 35th anniversary of the global celebration, which originally began in 1991 to commemorate France’s 1839 purchase and free release of the daguerreotype patent. It falls within World Photography Week, which runs from August 12 to August 26, 2026.

A bit of a reminder that Speedlites aren’t just for lighting people.

These were shot in the middle of the day.

Nothing dramatic happening with the light… so we created it.

Underexposed the ambient to pull things down, then added a bit of flash to bring the subject back.

Same approach, just applied to something a little different.

Once you understand how to control light, it really doesn’t matter what you’re pointing the camera at.

Forbes, NSW - Part 2

One of the main ideas we explored in the workshop this week was simple: Slow down and consider before you take the photo.

It sounds obvious, but most of us don’t do it. We see something, point the phone, and move on.

The difference comes when you pause for a moment and ask:

What is this photo actually about?
Where is the light coming from?
Can I simplify the frame?

Most of these images came from scenes that didn’t look like much at first glance.

A wall.
A window.
A bit of light hitting a building.

But when you stop and look a little more carefully, those small moments start to turn into photographs.

Forbes, NSW - Part 1

I recently held a Smartphone Photography Workshop out in Forbes, NSW for a fantastic group of regular travelers.

Arriving a couple of days early I spent some time wandering around town with the phone. Something I always like to do when visiting somewhere new — just walking, observing, and seeing what catches the eye.

Forbes is a beautiful heritage town, full of character if you slow down long enough to notice it. Old signage, strong light, interesting textures… all the things we often walk straight past.

All of these were taken on my iPhone.

Photography isn’t always about the camera — it’s about learning to see what’s already there.

Thanks again to Beth and the group for such a great day.

Playing with shapes and contrasting tones.

This one is less about the subject… more about how things line up.

Afternoon session from the Portrait Workshop. We moved over to Alexandria Park and changed up the approach a little.

The ambient light was still there, but instead of working with it, we pulled it back. Underexposed the scene, then used a pop of flash to bring the subject forward.

You don’t always need to find better light if you know how to shape what you have.

Once you get comfortable doing that, you’re not relying on the location as much. You’re building the shot instead of just reacting to it.

Black and white from the same morning session. Same space, same light… just a different way of looking at it.

Stripping the colour back shifts the focus onto light, shape, and expression. Sometimes that’s all you need.
