The church in the garden
Today’s image shows one of my favourite churches in London – St Paul’s Church in Covent Garden. Originally built in the mid-1600s by Inigo Jones, it has become associated with the acting profession; and inside, plaques in memory of members … Continue reading

An avenue of trees
When I’m teaching photography, one of the themes we usually look at quite early on is how to get a sense of depth into an image. Leading lines, strong foreground and background, or inventive framing are all potentially powerful ways … Continue reading

A view along the bridge
I’ve posted up pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge before, but I’m hoping you will indulge me and allow another! There’s something about the striking perspective of the cables, the shapes that they make and the almost palpable tension within them … Continue reading

Glancing over the bannister
A couple of times over the last few years, I’ve been fortunate to be asked to serve as a volunteer photographer for London Open House weekend. I get sent to all sorts of buildings across the capital to take photos, … Continue reading
