Calum has to employ different photographic techniques - some precise and thought out while others are immediate and spontaneous.

Each episode features different cameras that Calum has chosen to use- from modern and high tech to vintage and even homemade. All with Calum’s distinctive enthusiasm and flair.

In the opening episode, Calum is in Aberdeenshire biking down the Buchan coast in search of a subject for a special photo.
