Tag Archives: Inspiration & Ideas Here in England I have relished having my own garden – rather than a parched desert balcony. The plentiful rain and sunlight make things grow with aplomb in England! After the rain, the evening sunlight slowly crept into the garden. How I relished the sight of the colourful Summer petals nestling fresh raindrops glinting in […]  Here in England we have had an astonishing first Winter tale to tell! It was quite exceptional for snowfall and chilly temperatures; so my two UAE-born children (who’d never seen real snow) wrapped up warm & relished exploring the neighbourhood in stunning light. Of course, I relished following them with my camera in hand! And they […]  It was an honour to be contacted for a headshot photoshoot by the extremely talented and award-winning author Siobhan Fallon. I was excited to hear that she was completing her debut novel, after the success of her first published book, and needed an author’s portrait to be published on the book cover. A headshot photoshoot […]  I can’t believe I haven’t Blogged these till now… From my last ClickinWalk Abu Dhabi, Part 2: So what exactly is a ClickinWalk? It feels like pure indulgence to hang out with fellow Photogs, take photos and chat together about our favourite pastime and share. So what’s it all about…?

As much as I love colour, I am in love with black & white photography: Monochrome, tonal, matt, sepia, muted and soft, contrasty and strong; an image for every mood. Since the […]  Are you ready for the BEST Christmas gift idea ever? Quite possibly! A priceless gift that keeps on giving?… A gift that would gain in value over the years?… A gift that would last forever? May I present the Victoria Akbik Photography Gift Certificate At the time of writing this post, there’s 72 days to go till Christmas 2016. The countdown […]  Another in my series celebrating Summer 2015… During the holidays, I love my RaFa to embrace the ethos of ‘childhood unplugged’. It’s an indulgent time to fuel their imaginations, feel their roots, explore & sense freedom, re-connect with their English family and experience English life. I wonder at their imaginations and can’t resist grabbing my camera to quietly […]  Continuing my series celebrating Summer 2015, here is something a little different to illustrate the fabric of this house – my English childhood home… I can’t express how fantastic it is to have the indulgence of time to explore other sides of my photography personality. I’ve mentioned before that I am so blessed that I am able to […] |
