A peek into the life of an urban cheese maker

It is unlikely to come as a surprise to those who have eaten it, but the substantially upholstered  toasted cheese sandwich, put together by the team at Kappacasein, has recently been selected by ‘Time Out’ as one of the top […]

The Thames: A Tribute to London’s River

Its familiar curves and loops were outlined on the stadium floor in the London 2012 opening ceremony. James Bond, accompanied by Her Majesty, flew a helicopter through one of its iconic bridges. Oligarchs and the fabulously wealthy used it to slip into the city in their super yachts. This Summer, Londoners have seen their timeless river like never before…

New Years Celebration at the London Eye

Night Light

January is invariably a month which provides us here in London with rather grey and gloomy rain soaked skies. It has again been commendable in its consistency. The short days, the flat light and the raw cold temperatures really don’t help the photographic process.
