A Inspiring Place To Be

A new booklet from the Eastern Enterprise Hub shows a place of inspiration and creativity. Office space to really relax in and gain maximum creativity. With a 180 degree panoramic of the wonderful Ipswich Marina from the 5th floor of the Eastern Enterprise Hub its certainly the place to think new ideas. I was asked to capture images of the Hub during business events whilst highlighting the creative space.

Class of 53/54

Over the past few weeks I've began receiving art work from Age UK to help promote their new campaign. "The Class of 53/54 booklet is informed by the views and experiences of women who are affected by the new proposal in the Pensions Bill to speed up the equalisation of men's and women's State Pension Ages." Many contacted Age UK either by Telephone or e-mail, after ten women were interviewed in greater depth, i was asked to capture images to be included in their campaign booklet.

"Age Uk is asking the government to rethink their proposal to speed up the equalisation of Women's and Men's state Pension Ages (SPA) to 65 by 2018 and then increase SPA to 66 for both men and women. The measures are included in the pension Bill now being debated in Parliament." Age Uk - Class of 53/54 - 2011

Back On The Road:

With the ongoing interest from photography circles nationwide, I've set about capturing new material from my ongoing Roadside Britain theme. So far the work has covered the Great South West Road - London to Lands End and, with support from the Arts Council of England, an in-depth observation from around East Anglia. Over the past ten days I've ventured to the lush valleys of Wales, exploring the breathtaking coastal vistas as well as the area of outstanding natural beauty - Anglesey. Currently camped up in Betws-Y-Coed, I'm now using the A5, a former Roman Road and also known as Watling Street, to slowly traverse back to London.

A dynamic day for young social entrepreneurs

Since shooting for the friendly team at Suffolk's School Social Of Entrepreneurs in January, I was asked back for a second day to capture the days events, as-well as produce portraits of the young team. With plenty of dynamism flowing through the hub, the day was a great success and much was learnt by all:
