Steampunk is a movement that has its origins in science fiction and has surfaced in fashion, music and film. Think Jules Verne, Mad Max, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Alice in Wonderland. Its a chance to dress up, parade and have fun. Read more

Cat People

To paraphrase Randy Newman, there are no people like cat people. This is a fact. We have two rescue cats that started life in a bedsit in Camden Town shared with a human with poor mental health and twenty seven other cats. They have been a delight and so when Shropshire Cat Rescue needed a photographer to record the launch of their magazine "The Cat's Whiskers", we jumped at the chance, on condition we could also photograph the cats.

Fine Foods of the Alpujarras

We travelled from Birmingham to Andalusia in search of the fine foods of the Alpujarras. In 2013 we bought a run down cortijo, Casa de Almendras, in the hills just outside the bustling market town of Orgiva. It took us a year to renovate and we generally base ourselves here in the winter. We've been busy in Birmingham this year with the studio taking off. So instead of meandering by car through Spain, we packed up our cameras, jumped on an airplane and headed for Malaga. Read more
