This bearded font of knowledge never fails to bring history alive to the places we pass through. He is as inquisitive as he is knowledgeable...

Architectural Photography - Japanese Inspiration - RIBA East Shortlist 2020
September 30, 2020

I had the pleasure of photographing this Japanese inspired house for Haysom Ward Miller. The story behind it is a fascinating one, one which challenges our tendency to accept design.

‘The homes at this development are particularly light and airy inside, with good size rooms and generous storage space, so we felt that it was really important not to clutter them but at the same time, we wanted to show how different types of households could live really comfort...

Fortunately the Mosque provide...
