No home

I came across Stuart sat on a bench in small communal garden near Oval in South London. He had such an interesting face, like that of an ancient Greek philosopher, wise and well-spoken. He's been homeless for two years now but did not appear to be that affected. I wonder what he must have looked like before the huge beard growth. Probably just like anyone else.

City creatures

A few random pictures of animals I took on a long walk around London the other day.

Times Cutting

Here's a cutting from The Times Newspaper last week. I was pleased to have had something published during my week there, especially seeing as it was quite a quiet few days news-wise.

Sky News

Last week I headed out to the Sky News rooms located in the far reaches of West London. I felt a little bit out of place taking photos to be honest, as my movements were fairly restricted and I couldn't do any flash photography. Interesting to see the set-up there though, and the kind of constant, high-pressure environment the people have to endure.

Heathrow Climate Camp

I have work experience at The Times newspaper this week and so went to take some pictures at the 'Climate Camp' site next to Heathrow airport. The protestors intend to stay a whole week, running workshop classes and demonstrating against runway expansion plans. No journalists are officially allowed into the camp until tomorrow.

John Ridding FT - Marketing Week

John Ridding is the chief executive of the Financial Times. These pictures are for an interview in Marketing Week. I'm really starting to get into my corporate work these days. There's definitely a lot more emphasis on getting every aspect just right and I'm beginning to realise I tend to work better under pressure.

Eye of the Tiger

Another week, another feature for Itchy. This time it's white-collar boxing. Definitely more exciting than knitting, watching your sweaty friend pummeling punch bags and getting told to get down and do 10 by the instructor.

Health Service Journal

I was commissioned the other week to do some news photos for the Health Service Journal. This was a protest against hospital closures outside the Department of Health involving kids dressed as superheroes. It's fun to work with kids but they can certainly be quite unpredictable!
