The weekend before November 5th — Guy Fawkes Day, when the night sky across the UK lights up in celebration of the historic Gunpowder Plot. On Saturday, one of London’s most spectacular fireworks displays illuminated Battersea Park, drawing crowds from all over the city.

On Saturday, I photographed London Fashion Day with various designers. Besides taking shots of the catwalk, I also enjoy taking portraits of the people who go to the shows.

This month's Colour Walk in Spitalfields Market was my first time in 4 months. Always great to photograph all the colourful outfits. The colour walk takes place on the 3rd Thursday of each month.

Last Sunday I ran a ballerina shoot in the city of London from Spitalfields Market to Leadenhall Market. The weather played ball this time with sunny spells and near 20c! Thanks to Meghan for her ballet moves. 🤩

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Sunset at St James Park on Monday, lovely reflections. I was hoping for the heron to fly past. But the sun was starting to disappear.

It was a lovely day in London, with blue skies and warmth, reaching above 20 °C.

Here is Beacon by Lee Broom at the Southbank Centre, casting nice shadows.

Jiveswing Festival brought the rhythm to Cassiobury Park on 27th July 2025, as crowds flocked to Watford for a dazzling day of dance, music, and sunshine (a little bit).

Jive Aces was the headline & West End star, Cassidy Janson, singing.

I've been busy with life, so I haven't had a chance to upload more content here. As it's the last day of the month, I will upload some of my shots from July. 🤩
