I’m absolutely delighted to share that I’m a finalist in the 2022 Travel Photographer of the Year awards! A huge thanks to the judging panel and organisers. My photograph has been shortlisted in the Mark of Mankind category. The photograph was made using my Lumix G9 and Leica DG 50-200mm f2.8-4.0 lens; very much a favourite combination of mine. The raw file was processed in LightRoom Classic and finished in Exposure Software’s X7, on my Mac Pro, using calibrated Eizo CG monitors. [Caption] Altered Realities. A man taking his dog out for a walk is seen in the reflection of a building's portico (external ceiling). Whilst nothing in the photograph has been altered, it has been rotated by 180 degrees.

Sometimes, all you need is a trip into the countryside. After a day of teaching a LightRoom workshop, spent a few minutes for myself and make a few photographs.

Remember how we clapped for our frontline nurses, battling to save lives despite of shoddy PPE sourced by the government? Remember how we then let the government get away with not giving our nurses a pay rise, or charging them to park when coming to work? (April 30, 2020) Members of the medical staff look on with waves of thanks, as their colleagues and locals cheer on the NHS from the street below. Clapping for our NHS Heroes. Locals fill the streets outside the Chelsea and Westminster hospital to cheer, wave and clap for the nurses, doctors and NHS staff battling to save lives during the COVID 19 pandemic. #coronavirus #covid19 #nhs #clapfornhs #photojournalism @lumixuk @lumix @lumixusa @lumix_de #lumixg9 #m43 #lumix #leicadg #leicadg50200 #clapforourcarers #chelseaandwestminsterhospital #fulham #chelsea #lockdown #medicalstaff #facemask #nhsstaff #bw #monochrome #payrisefornurses #payrisefornhs #nhsnurse (at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFFORdpnvIw/?igshid=bxyo93ju9buc

BBQ and a smoke. On the beach, as one of the hottest days of the year comes to an end (August 7th, 2020). As the COVID 19 lockdown has been relaxed, thousands of beachgoers flocked to Brighton as temperatures hit 30C (lower than the maximum temperature in South East England, which topped 36C). Authorities in Brighton have taken action to reduce the crowds at their beaches, with fears that social distancing will not be possible. #heatwave #beach #brighton #brightonbeach #lockdown #covid19 #pandemic #socialdistancing #bbq #smoke #social #backlit #sunset #scenic #atmospheric @lumixuk @lumix @lumix_de #lumix #lumixg9 #leicadg #leicadg50200 #bw #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography (at Brighton Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEXYoxanCRW/?igshid=siatnfve4tfs
