Cute brother and sister

2008-04-28T06:43:00.002-05:00

This brother and sister just loved having their photograph taken. These are some of my favourites from their session the other week with mum. All a surprise for dad.

More Mums-to-be

2008-04-28T06:36:00.003-05:00

I've had a great response to my entering motherhood project and have been enjoying meeting lots of first time mums-to-be. Here are some of my favourite portraits from the past few weeks. Next week I'm going back to photograph the first mum to have had her baby.

How to make a difference

2008-03-27T06:35:00.005-05:00

I've started up a new blog which will feature the stories and pictures of inspiring people who are making the world better in a variety of ways. This is something I've been working on in book form for a few years but now I'm going to be updating it with weekly "how to make a difference" blogs .

2008-02-28T07:57:00.004-05:00

I met another lovely mum-to-be this week. I'm still looking for volunteers for my Entering Motherhood project if you know any first time mums in North or East London who might be interested. (I can't travel far as I'm doing it for free!)

Paul and Lara

2008-02-14T05:31:00.003-05:00

Paul and Lara are getting married in March and so we decided to mark the occasion with a photo session around St Pauls and Smithfields, near where they live.

Entering Motherhood Project

2008-02-05T07:42:00.000-05:00

I am currently taking photos of women before and after they have their first child. The idea is to try and capture some of the unique changes that a woman goes through at this point in their lives. So far, I've only done some before photos. Here are a few of my favourites.

Real Nappy Babies

2007-12-17T11:58:00.000-05:00

It was the Real Nappy Christmas Party this week - Hackney's attempt to promote the use of cloth nappies. I was working for Hackney Council again to try and capture the mood of the day.

Be Recreative!

2007-06-04T09:17:00.000-05:00

Clapton Characters

2007-03-13T17:06:00.000-05:00

I've been meaning to start photographing people in my neighbourhood, but hadn't plucked up courage until I was caught out with my camera by James, pictured here. He's often seen on Lower Clapton Road and had plenty of advice to give me on this day about how to hold my camera (and it was good advice too, I think!).

Little Buds

2007-03-05T10:38:00.000-05:00

You can see some of my photos on the website which I've just put together for Little Buds Day Nursery.

I have quite a good excuse for not posting more regularly at the moment...

I had fun photographing several weddings this summer...

2006-03-30T05:21:00.000-05:00

I've been doing the publicity photos for Tim Harford's new TV show on BBC2 - "Trust me I'm economist", so I'll be posting a few of them here. This one was taken in Roka, a top London restaurant, where Tim uses economic theory to help a wanna-be Maitre d' get a foot in the door.

Phil Harvey

2006-01-18T09:28:00.000-05:00

Phil Harvey is another of the fascinating characters who I interviewed for my book. He runs the charity DKT International which helps to distribute contraception and promote family planning throughout the developing world. The really interesting bit is that he funds the charity from the profits of his business, Adam and Eve, the largest on-line retailer of "Adult Merchandise" in the US.

November Photos

2005-11-21T16:13:00.000-05:00

Things have been busy. In September my hard drive died and since then I've been so busy taking photos, going to photography classes and with life in general that three months have gone by without updating my website. Sorry! Anyway, here are some new photos and you can expect more soon.
