I spent a great few days in Göteborg, visiting friends and brushing up on my Swedish. The weather was superb, (high 20’s/30) and it was the week of the annual Göteborg Kulturkalas, so there were loads of events and food stalls; the city was buzzing. I took some time to visit some of the tiny […]

Madrid is quite beautiful. Fairly compact too, although I did average 15km per day walking (much like I did in Paris, despite the excellent metro system!). The Prado is quite rightly considered one of the best galleries in Europe and the Thyssen-Bornemisza is amazing too. The Reina Sofía less so – imho, about 95% of […]
Toledo is very pretty, famed for its sharp things, Cardinal Ximénez (Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros) of the Inquisition (later immortalised by Monty Python) and El Greco.

Lighting is pretty poor in most of these places and the action can be fast, so I use a bag of fast primes with wide apertures and high ISO. I generally shoot black […]
Here are a selection of orphaned images, which don’t fit in a particular series, but which I quite like. […]

I was asked through friends to take some photos of the family for the grandparents’ anniversary present. A grey day at Worthing sailing club, but we managed to get some great images. Here is a selection from the shoot. […]
After the favourable reception of my Father’s Day photos, I was asked to shoot the christening. It was a good introduction to formal event photography. In some ways, it made easier that it was for friends, but on the other hand I didn’t want to get it wrong as they know where I live! […]
