Reason Magazine launches its second issue...

Friends at The Reason Mag recently published a picture of Laura Berry taken during the Animal "Guitar Hero" night in Laax Switzerland early this year. Before the night-time Mayhem began, I managed to catch up with Bezza to shoot this intimate image for the UK's most fresh and slickest snowboarding magazine.

Freeze Festival 2010

Back to Battersea for another LG Freeze Ski and Snowboard showdown and time to catch up with friends. This picture, taken from my I-phone, shows the best of Britain with Jenny Jones launching a powerful 360 over a vibrant audience and a south London horizon. For me, it was a weekend going 'back to the old school' loading only Kodak Portra into my Mamyia 645 AFD and one film in the Woca - watch this space for the results.....

Invisible but Invaluable - Exhibition at St Martins In The Fields - Age UK

For the last few months I've been working with Age UK Campaigners to capture unique imagery of older carers – people over retirement age who are looking after a husband, wife or partner or an adult disabled son or daughter. Older carers stress that, although they find caring rewarding and an expression of their love for the person they care for, they also feel invisible and undervalued. Many were stressed and exhausted.

In an effort to change this, Age UK decided to make them visible to their MPs who make decisions on the care system; to their local authorities who may be contemplating taking away what little support is available; and to members of the public who may be their neighbour or friend and could offer support.

The campaign starts with a free exhibition ‘Invisible but Invaluable’ in The Gallery in the Crypt, St Martin-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square. The exhibition displays photographs of a number of carers with the people they care for and their stories. Age UK are also pleased that Lynda Bellingham, of Calendar Girls, Loose Women and Oxo fame, is also supporting the campaign.

Exhibition opens from 2nd November until 20th November.

10 am until 5 pm daily.

Sun rays on North London....

Having undertaken just a handful of weddings this year, much of which were favours to friends and work connections, I was pleasantly surprised when the mid October afternoon light, turned from looming black clouds to a glorious 'Indian-Summer' sunshine, allowing for perfect light for some intimate bride and groom pictures. So, as North Middlesex Golf Club was showered with the finals rays of the late autumn sunshine, I asked Sonja and David to take a walk with me while we capture their newly wed moments together. Here are some of the results from the day.....

Whats New?

After an unprecedented e-mail from a good friend and Quiksilver marketing guru late in the Summer, earlier this month I found myself together with a bunch of my snowboarding friends working on Pirates Of The Caribbean 4. Hanging out with a host of Hollywood directors, cast and crew, even the swashbuckling Depp himself jumping from carriage to cart all in a medieval Maritime Greenwich. This footballesque photo sums up our ten days on set.

While a trip to Harrow a few weeks back turned into a spontaneous urban nature shoot with one tam squirrel enjoying his lunch of a fallen apple. This image was captured on my temperamental Sony Ericsson mobile phone without an ounce of zoom or aperture control. Rather please with the results, here is one of the original pictures taken directly from my phone.

Pink Aerobics In Regents Park:
