We kicked off the year yesterday with a (birthday weekend) walk through the streets of London.
Off the train at King's Cross and straight round the back via the Guardian offices to see a sculpture exhibition there I'd wanted to visit. Unfortunately it was closed. That doesn't matter on a day where you have loose plans, as everything becomes exciti...

Contgratulations on the PhD, Dr Smith 👏👏👏
Steve is a Londoner and he won't let you forget it. We've spent many years wandering the (often less trodden) paths of the city in all seasons and all weathers. 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...

These images are really helpful in conveying just how much work goes on behind the scenes to refurbish offices to modern standards. They also wanted a clean looking image for this office exterior - which isn'...

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. Instead of overseeing a proposed structure (the plot they bought came with planning permission), the owners here used their cultural influences and design ideas to set...

‘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...
