This house is on a semi-urban street, a tree-lined

This house is on a semi-urban street, a tree-lined road, with rows of uniform houses.

It's a forlorn house, no one lives in it, no one to live in it, no memories made in it. The garden wall is crumbling, the front yard is full of junk, the door is discarded, paint peeling away.

I have walked passed this door many times, it was on my school run walk and yet I had never noticed it.

I've been doing a small exercise, challenging myself to see. To develop what they call my photographer's eye, and spot, small incidental detail. Details that would normally pass us by, just like this door.

This time I spotted it, stopped looked and found beauty in the distress and captured the moment. Who knows what will happen to the house, maybe a family will move in and this house will become a home.

Throw back to Spain, in October, and the photography retreat in @fincabuenvino with two glorious photographers @joannamaclennanphotography @clinchpics of @twophotographers

One afternoon we downed tools to go quince picking, gathering subjects for our still life challenge.

Fellow photographer @lisa_flood_photography_ spotted a little battered jalopy which became the perfect prop for these gorgeous fruit. (Lisa has an amazing eye 👁 for a great shot!)

No styling needed.

Everything was simply perfect!

Have a great weekend folks!

Happy Friday folks. Have a fantastic weekend.

I'm focussing on the good stuff that has happened and accepting it all with a gratitude attitude.

💫 Talking to potential clients about food photoshoots

💫 Talking to potential clients about lifestyle photography - perhaps another offer!🤔

💫 Talking to people to help me with some personal projects.

💫 This weekend I'm going to be doing some travel photography (keep an eye out for my stories!).

💫 I'll be putting into practice what I learned in Spain!

I'm leaving you with this glorious splash shot.

Have a great weekend folks! 😘

It was only a week ago I got back from the @twopho

It was only a week ago I got back from the @twophotographers2020 retreat in Andalusia, Spain.

The retreat was an immersive, creative, artistic experience the results of which I am still processing.

I got back to London exhausted, exhilarated and excited about the journey ahead as I expand my practice.

The retreat opened my eyes to the power of visual storytelling and to photographing subjects beyond food.

I tried new genres, as they say in film, portraits, travel photography, interiors. I loved all of them, and will be incorporating them into my work.

I got to experiment with my first passion, food photography. I challenged myself and was challenged to re-think my approach and style.

I’ve got a list of new and exciting burgeoning projects which I can’t wait to get stuck into! And I can’t wait to share these with you.

This image is the front entrance of @fincabuenvino looking out onto the courtyard.

Even in pouring rain this place is magical!

sometimes it's good to do something different.

Shake it up a bit.

Have fun with a little make-believe.

I had a frustrating day trying to shoot some drinks with artificial light. Nothing was working, Everything was just meh.

I hate meh.

I wanted something different. You, know to go kerpow!

So I got out of my rut, changed up my angles and thought what the hell - let's just see what happens.

A couple of glasses waiting at the bar, will you join me?

Do you plan our photographs down to the last metic

Do you plan our photographs down to the last meticulous detail?

Or, do you think hey, I'll just go with the flow and let the creative process take the lead?

I admit I'm a bit of both.

When I arrived at the @fondazioneprada in Milan I had some pre-conceived ideas of the images I wanted to take.

There's a bar designed by Wes Anderson which filled my head with images of Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Grand Budapest Hotel.

His films are iconic, the film sets just make my soul soar.

Yet, sitting in a bar designed by Wes Anderson bar, I couldn't get my ideas to work. Everything was cliched and done before.

I emptied my mind, enjoyed an Aperol and waited for a moment to arrive.

Here it is, a woman at the table, in the bar, bathed in golden light, taking a moment out of her day.

Now you finish the story.....
