HI All, I think I have my website resorted again. I use a WordPress website form a developer Made by Minimal and the theme I am using is called Made. I have been really happy with their theme. However, I have been recently attending a series of workshops as part of the London Creative Network at Four Corners on Roman Rd East London. These have been great as they have allowed me to think about my process of marketing and to refine my website. I particularly like the sessions by Rafaela Lepanto on websites and marketing. I have been for a while now …

Hi all, This week my website is not going to work so well. I was in the process of updating the theme when I got an email from my website theme designer saying that they had found a bug in it and to hold off. The only problem was that I had already reset my website ready to move to the new theme. So some of the functionality of my website will may not be as it should till the new theme is installed on the site sometime next week I apologise for this and I will get it sorted out …

With the help of Brian form MadeByMinimal.com I have my website up and running on a computer, iPad but not so great on an iPhone yet. I have a few things to try and will see if that works but for now the iPhone is not really displaying the image galleries for some reason. i love the way the websites navigation works on the iPad and on a Mac computer, still have not been able to try it on a PC yet so if someone wants to try my website on their Apache and send me an email about how …

I recently had bit of a light bulb moment in relation to who to approach with regards to making money, when doing my photography. I have for a long time been interested in the way capitalism works and live in London, whereas I know that the City of London, is one of the centres for global capitalism, I didn’t for some reason think about working for the financial industry and making that an aspect of my work. I have for a long time, been looking for a market that I can sell my photography to. I have an area of work …

I have been doing some thinking about how I talk to people via this blog and realised that I am talking to other photographers and not to the audience that I want to. So from now on anything related to photography and the development of photographers that I want to share will be posted to www.photographyworkshopslondon.com anything related to making my documentary and street photography images will be featured here and anything related to my relaunched website that is aimed at working in financial markets as a photographer will be on www.mwplant.com. It is something that I have ‘known’ for a while but …

Changes to my online presence. I am busy cleaning up on online presence at the moment, if you arrived here at this site because you followed a link to get to www.mwplant.com which was my portrait website you will now get a auto redirect to www.michaelwayneplant.com. I have removed this site because it is leading to a bit of confusion and I want to concentrate my energies on the work that I love to do. Which is my story telling documentary work. I have had to many websites for a while now and I am attempting to remove and condense …

I have the mini site up and running but with no content or more specifically no images in the portfolio to put on there as I spent quite a bit of time looking at how to make it work and the two aspects of my work location based documentary photography and studio based portraiture do not fit together when laid out together in one portfolio. So I am just going to sit on the site for now and think about what to do about it. I am thinking that I might just end up with a landing page on this …

I am currently working on a new mini site that will be attached to this website. https://michaelwayneplant.com/commercial It turns out that you can install multiple WordPress installations onto one domain name which is what I am doing for my more commercial images The images that have seen the involvement of Photoshop will end up on this site and it will allow me to integrate both sides of my photographic practice into one website. I am busy planning a new marketing campaign and will be showing a new portfolio some time soon this website has changed a little today as I discovered …
