So many faces, so many opportunities. I swear it is difficult to fail at getting a character shot, or a candid portrait, or a street shot that makes you smile in this sparkly Northern Empire. There is a specific kind of magic in the light up here—a grit mixed with a shimmer that you just […]

“Persistence”|North Pier|Blackpool
A quick rain check and a frantic duck under cover on the North Pier in Blackpool. I was there for a photowalk, taking a brief break from proceedings while assisting David Nightingale (@Chromasia) on his recent ‘Creating Dramatic Images’ workshop. As the rain began to hammer down, I saw this scene unravelling; this family just […]
“Robbie”|Blackpool|2011
It was day two of the ‘Creating Dramatic Images’ workshop, and while Dave Nightingale was busy indulging the delegates with a wealth of technical information, I caught this scene out of the corner of my eye. I simply couldn’t resist snapping the frame. The hotel we were in was home to the North’s line dancing […]
“Dave”|DJN1|@chromasia #2
This is easily my favorite shot of David Nightingale at work. He’s the kind of photographer who often sticks the front of his glass in places most would shy away from—whether it’s deep in a hole in the sand, submerged in puddles, or leaning precariously over the edge of sea walls as he is here. […]
“Sherlock?”, call me what you like!|Blackpool

I decided to take the high road while others took the low road, and as I was walking, I happened upon the Summer Breeze Rally and a few incredible characters […]
“Midnight Oil”|North Pier|Blackpool
A great evening, spent painting with light under the North Pier at Blackpool. The tide was out, but approaching fast; we all knew how quickly that water can whip in behind you, potentially cutting you off from the shore. We stood under the massive iron structure in near-total darkness, listening to the waves creep closer […]
“Buzludzha”|#1|Bulgaria|2010
Standing inside the monolithic Buzludzha Monument is an experience that firmly imprints itself on your mind. When the brief for the “Weathered” competition came up, my thoughts immediately went back to this moment in Bulgaria. I genuinely couldn’t think of a more fitting subject than this decaying brutalist relic sitting atop a mountain, slowly being […]
