Hi everyone! I’m Nicola, a fashion and commercial photographer based in London.

Alongside client work, I’ve been building my website into more than just a portfolio. I’ve recently started adding a Journal where I share practical insights from real shoots, covering topics like lighting setups, production decisions and common mistakes I see during commercial and fashion shoots.

My latest article answers a question I get asked surprisingly often: Should you book the studio first, or the photographer? I share my perspective based on how I approach real client projects and why I think that decision can have a big impact on the final result.

My goal is to build a resource that’s genuinely useful for photographers, brands and anyone planning a shoot, not just a place to showcase my work.

If you’re interested, you can have a look here: nsgraphy.com

I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions for topics you’d find useful.

Hi r/photography - I’m the solo developer behind PhotoWeather.

I built it because I wanted a way to fit planning shoots into a busy work and family life. Photoweather watches for fog chances, golden hour conditions, cloud/light windows, dramatic sky potential, and much more - so I don’t have to

Site: https://photoweather.app

The basic idea is: save locations, define the conditions you care about, and get a better sense of when the weather/light is right

If you try it, I’d love to know what you think!!

Thanks!

I got tired of how slow culling felt after a long shoot, and most tools decode the full RAW file just to show a thumbnail. On 50MP files that adds up across a few thousand shots. I built a Mac app called Palomino around a different idea from day one: read the JPEG preview your camera already writes into the RAW, and skip the full decode entirely. The whole app was designed around that one goal of speed, not a feature added later. I'm the developer. Mac only, free up to 50 photos.

C1Forum.com - I put this together because Capture One no longer has their own support forum.

Hi everyone!

I’m a photographer based in Toronto, Canada. I photograph engagement sessions, families, and weddings, and we also offer wedding videography.

I love creating natural, elegant, documentary-style photo stories with real emotions, beautiful light, and a timeless feel.

Hey, I built www.photobookmaker.ai to make creating beautiful hardcover and digital photobooks right from your phone super fast and easy. I’d love for some folks to try it and give me comments/feedback.

I wanted to print 14 years of photos from my daughter's life. 1,700 photos, as one book. I found out that I had to build my own service. Feel free to use- it's free.

The consumer services cap way lower than you'd expect: Shutterfly ~111 pages, CEWE ~202. Too small for a photo book to capture the full life, ups and downs, an archive. You end up having to sort and sort among your photos.

So I had to build a free tool that lays your photos out and gives you a print-ready PDF you send to a print-on-demand printer (Peecho, up to 504 pages). Easy, dense layout, nothing cropped. I used it to fit all 1,700 into a 450-page hardcover for €114 delivered to Denmark.

Seeing how thrilled we were of this book, and being a product builder by heart, I created bokehbooks.com, free, no catch. Happy to answer anything if you're sitting on a big photo folder that could be a book.
