Award winning professional photographer based in Maldon Essex, specialising In boudoir, fashion and portraits
So a month or so ago I created a small competition where I bought a joby gorillapod mobile rig to do a raffle..
We are coming into the last three days of the competition if this is something that you would like to be in with a chance of winning click the link below to purchase a ticket..
Been working on a few projects over the holiday season! And also been given a little time to think about is there something that I can give my followers as a thank you for all their kind support.
So I come up with a few ideas one of which has gone live on my ko-fi page..
I have created a kind of cinematic landscape photography cheat sheet. It’s free or if you like to it give the option of leaving a donation of you choosing. But it is free if you want it for free. You just have to leave a few details and click download. Details are just so that I know people are downloading. You won’t be pestered by 101 emails from me.
The sheet is printable please don’t print to give away just send anyone you think would be interested this page link and tell them to download it.
It helps me know I’m helping others and also lets me know if I doing something right 😉
So without further ado! Here is the link!
Firstly I want to thank you all for sticking with me on my journey. I want to thank everyone who has supported me with likes comments and shares on my posts.
I want to thank everyone who purchased our products from prints to calendars and Christmas cards. I couldn’t do this full time with out you all and the amazing support you give me. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.
We are going into 2025 and I hope that you will all continue to support like you did in 2024. And before the new year celebrations start I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the very best for the year ahead may it bring to health and happiness with lots of love and joy.
Well it’s been a year! So much has happened in 2024! A lot of good and a number of bad things.
The end of 2023 I ended up in hospital and that got sorted out so we thought but sadly in February 2024 everything got worse and I ended up back in and things started to take a big turn for the worst.
I had sepsis and they found a number of nodules on my pancreas and also a big mass. As you know with anything this comes with a number of tests and if you’re in the UK A long wait for results. On talking with the consultant he told me that this could be that dreaded word cancer.
I’ve had many tests and hospital visits and to date I’m still not sure what the outcome is. All I know is I’m getting worse, in constant pain and have had to take a few steps back from the day to day photography that I love. Anyone one who is self employed will know this is a kick to the teeth at best of times but I’ve been trying to keep creating works and selling my products to pay for things needed to keep going. While the uncertainty continues and they start to help me. Even if it’s worst case. It’s going to be a fight. And something I hope to one day I come out the other side of but for now it’s day at a time, and on bad days bed rest.
If you would like to help support me at this time I have a ko-fi page set up for people to buy my image downloads. Or if you just want to tip me with the price of a coffee as support to me and my business that’s completely up to you and any one that does I will be eternally grateful.
On a brighter note I’ve managed on my good days to get out and get some print worthy images. In the last year I’ve seen over 20 of my images in the local news papers ! Seen it posted in publications and show stands too. Also had many people asking to purchase prints. And this will never get old but with each I’m always so grateful. I get such a feeling it’s hard to explain but it’s sheer gratitude!
Here are a couple of image that made the local news papers (what I can find)
There are more but the images are on my back up drive and not to hand on my phone where I’m currently writing this post 😉
So the other good things was the sale of my calendars I made a limited edition and a very limited run number and all but two have sold. So if you would like one please let me know first come first served just send me an email to adrianday@photographer.net
So I won’t hold you up too much longer but I do want to say once again a big thank you to everyone who has continued to support me and my full time photography journey. I love each and everyone of you and I hope that you will continue supporting
Make it a safe one

But would really appreciate if anyone who reads this new post could take a second to go take a look and if it’s something you want to follow please do would love to have you along for the journey !
The first real video should be going live this week! And will be about angles .. with a few shorts about simple things like iso aperture and shutter speed being posted just to show case what the basic function is those will come out over the next month.
So if you have a moment please hit the link below (picture) to head over to my new channel .. share the love and hopefully we can catch up and get creative together !
Been a while since I’ve posted a full blog post!
Now you all know I’m first and foremost a photographer .. a portrait and boudoir photographer predominately.. but over the last year I’ve been taking time out to gain skills in landscape and nature photography..
Also having won a number of competition with my landscape work I feel I’m doing pretty well! Like having my work shown at the fujifilm print life stand at the Birmingham photography show.
Now I know I’ve been doing short posts and running this is because I’ve been doing so many things I’ve not had time to do deep messages and long posts!
Well I’ve just started to add to that! Even more!
With a new section to my website and my Adrian Day YouTube channel this is going to be where I post tips, tricks and reviews of photography products and ideas to help all you guys and girls become better photographers and to enjoy the craft and the creative side of the industry.
But before I start posting videos and blog posts about this I would love to hear from others as to what you would like to see! .. I know what I look for but that’s me ! I don’t just want to post what I want to know .. I want to post at the needs of others !
See this could be anything for creative tips like using a prism or coloured lighting. Or it could be what I suggest to be the best lens for portraits or landscapes
It could be that you want to know about editing and how I edit my images using Adobe Lightroom or photoshop.. and what you want to learn specifically like colour toning or black and white conversion
Maybe you only have your phone to take pictures and that’s a perfectly great option as they say “the best camera is the one you have with you!” and want to know the best apps I use to edit the questions are endless!
But please feel free to comment below with your questions and I will write them all down and create future posts to answer your questions !
Also coming soon to help users of lightroom I’m going to start putting together downloadable products Things like brushes for photoshop and presets and Lut’s for both Lightroom and photoshop
These will be priced at silly prices ! So anyone can obtain them on the smallest of budgets to help them grow and learn faster! I currently have over 50 presets from colour to black and white! Ready to go! Just sorting out the website over the next few weeks to make them downloadable for you all!
There is so much more to come ! So if you have read this far please hit the follow button so that you can be notified when I post.. and as I say please leave a comment below if you find this page helpful and have a question you want answering!
Once again thank you everyone for your support and sticking with me over covid months ! It’s much appreciated!
BTW WHEN LEAVING A COMMENT .. YOU DONT NEED TO ADD EMAIL ADDRESS OR OTHER DETAILS BUT PLEASE LEAVE A NAME SO I CAN RELATE THE POST BACK TO YOUR QUESTION.. .. BUT PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT BE GREAT TO CONNECT TO YOU ALL!
