I’ve been to Taipei 3 times now, and the last time I was there was end of 2019. Each time, I learned a lot about photography and I want to share some of those experiences here, as well as maybe give you some tips about street photography in Taipei. Taipei is one...

This is a film shoot I did about 2 years ago. I’m by no means an expert when it comes to film, I’ve only ever shot about 20 rolls worth of it. But this particular roll of Ektrachrome100 on a dark rainy day in Hong Kong is my favorite roll I’ve shot...

If you prefer to watch instead of reading, you can choose to watch the video I just uploaded above. I think a good way to improve your own photography is to analyze why exactly you like the photos that you do like. Saving photos on Instagram is a great way to be able...

One semi frequent question I get on Instagram AMAs is, can you take good street photos on a mobile phone? The answer to this depends on a few factors. Phones aren’t ideal for photography if compared head on to a dedicated camera, but you can still do well...

End of year is a great time to look back and reflect. Last year, I wrote an article about all the things I learned about photography in 2018, and while it got me banned on Reddit’s r/photography for self promotion, it was well received in general. It’s now...

I’ve just made a “video essay” version of this blog post, so if you’d prefer to watch instead, here’s the video. Or if not, continue reading below. Street photographers are a bunch of weirdos. We roam the streets with a camera, pointing...
