What's going on here?

Hi everyone! Thanks for taking the time to come and look around here :)


So… what's going on here? 

For those who might not know me, and I am sure there are many, I am Graeme, a street photographer based in London. Take a look at the About Me page and the Photography page for more information about me and to see some of my favourite shots I have taken. 


Less of a blog post and more of an introduction; I wanted to just say “Hi” and let you know the plans for this website. GS7snaps.com, this is intended to be my online base. This is where I will house my portfolio of my favourite images that I make as well as maybe semi-regularly enter some blog posts here discussing topics relating to street photography, things that I am working on, stories about recent shoots and the gear and equipment I am using. I have plenty of ideas for topics, but if you have any suggestions for things you want my opinion on that i would love to hear from you, so get in touch!


I am considering setting up a newsletter too. Just a short one, sent out every now and then (definitely not spamming you! I don’t have the time or energy for that!), with a few interesting and topical photography based things, what my upcoming plans are for shooting amongst other things. Let me know if you’d be interested in that and what you would be interested in as far as content goes.


Of course I will continue to update my Instagram, for whatever that is worth these days! Regardless of all of the issues us photographers are having with Instagram in recent weeks and months I plan to continue to upload my recent shots, post new stories and Reels occasionally. Make sure to follow along @GS7snaps for all of that. 


Twitter, where a lot of us photographers moved to once Instagram decided they do not like photography anymore, is also a part of my social media world. Despite the domination of the NFT community, or “frens” as they endearingly refer to themselves, i have come to like the platform. While the algorithm seems to actively work against us on Instagram, things definitely seem more promising over on Twitter. Instagram vs Twitter for photography is a bigger topic for another post I think, but it's definitely an interesting area to explore further. Anyway, I am @GS7snaps on Twitter, so make sure you follow along and say “Hi” there too.


If you are interested to know what gear I use and how and when I use it, stay tuned to this Blog section as I am sure I will  talk about my street photography gear at some point. Make sure to also check out the Gear page. There I have listed out everything that I have. Some pieces I use more often than others, so here in the Blog I will be highlighting which things they are, talking about how I use them and what my thoughts are.

Any gear you want to hear about? Get in touch and let me know. 


OK, I guess that will do it for now!

Don’t forget to follow on Instagram and Twitter, check back here for more updates soon and I'd be honoured if you are nice enough to share my work and this website with your network.
