About

Welcome to fotovolo!

This is a photography news, reviews and opinion site run by photography journalist and editor Rod Lawton (so me, then).

I’m an independent content creator and editor with decades of experience in photography journalism, both in print magazines and latterly in online publishing, where I’ve built experience in website design, SEO optimization, e-commerce and affiliate partnerships from stints as the camera channel editor on TechRadar and group reviews editor on Digital Camera World. Feel free to check out some of my previous work on TechRadar and my current work on Digital Camera World.

My photographic specialities are cameras of all types, from action cams through compacts, mirrorless cameras, DSLRs and medium format. I write both for beginners and experts and I cover both stills photography and video. As well as covering cameras I review lenses, tripods, lighting, camera bags and a host of other accessories. I also run a separate website, Life after Photoshop, which has reviews, tips and tutorials for a wide range of photo editing applications including Capture One, ON1 Photo RAW, DxO PhotoLab and many other lesser-known tools.

I don’t just publish websites. I also write content for many different publications. If you are a manufacturer or a press office, please add me to your mailing list. As well as publishing news and reviews independently, I also pitch them to other online and print publications.

Press offices and editors are welcome to email me for more

Affiliate links

I use affiliate links on fotovolo.com. I have two chosen affiliate partners: B&H in the US and Wex Photo Video in the UK. Other retailers are available! When you click on a link it doesn’t affect the price you pay but it means I get a small commission to help with running this site. This has no effect on the products I choose for review, the ratings I give them or the opinions I express.
