Guernsey is just plain beautiful and I fell in love with it as soon as I stepped off the plane. At times, the clear sea and sandy beaches could have you thinking that you were on the Sardinian coast. However, it was freezing!

I recently took some photographs for Westside Health and Fitness Club which is based in the picturesque market town of Stamford in Lincolnshire.
Westside recently had a new website designed and developed by the brilliant Chadwick Design Limited. I was very please to be asked to take the photographs for the new website, which went live today! Take a look! Continue reading
A short while ago I did a shoot in Oxford and couldn’t help but stay for a while longer and explore the beautiful city. Considering that it is so close to London, I rarely go but this trip reminded me that I really should. From trendy Jericho in the North-West, through the colleges and cobbled streets in the centre, to the East of the city with its cheap eats and ‘tucked away’ bars, this really is a stunningly diverse city.

George Eastman (who founded Kodak and popularised the use of roll film…thank you Mr Eastman!) once said that that “light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth and you will know the key to photography”

A few days ago I had the wonderful opportunity to take some “behind the scenes’ photographs for food blogger Robyn, who writes the International Alphabites blog.
Robyn began the blog after being inspired by the concept of micro-adventures: Continue reading
We visited the Natural History Museum as children and I can remember being utterly awestruck by this wonderful place. Of course at the time, this had a lot to do with the life-size model of the Blue Whale and the Tyrannosaurus Rex skeletons! Continue reading

See what a mass of gems the city wears
Upon her broad live bosom! row on row
Rubies and emeralds and amethysts glow. Continue reading
