Help me to help others…
At the start of February, I will be embarking on a journey to shoot three different personal projects in Sulawesi and Sumatra, all of which will support development and conservation efforts in these locations. Why do I call them personal projects? Because I have not commissioned to shoot these stories - they are of great [...]
Burma – Revisited (and reprocessed)…
With the recent developments coming out of Burma, I decided to post a link on my Facebook page to an old gallery of images that I shot in 2008 during a month long trip around the country. At the time I processed the vast majority of images as B&Ws, mainly because I felt that the [...]
2011 in Black & White…
Over the last few days I have been thinking about how to do an end-of-year post and found myself browsing through catalogues from different shoots, pulling out images that I thought would sum up the year in a suitable way. Oddly enough the vast majority where black and white conversions and so I've decided to [...]
A cameraman once again…
In the middle of November I found myself doing something I haven't done for a long time – setting up a tripod, fitting a video camera and thinking about sound as well as lighting and framing. For the first time in several years I was shooting video again, and on top of that, getting back [...]

The first day we travelled up to the village of Tuguh to visit a mobile clinic and then across to Ganesa Hospital where a volunteer surgeon from Australia was training two counterparts from the [...]
Salt pans of Maras, Peru
Another post and more images from the archives, this time from Peru in 2010. I was lucky enough to have some work in Cuzco close to the Sacred Valley and whilst there, took the opportunity to visit a few of the famous sites in the area – Machu Picchu included. However it was some of [...]
Portraits from Sudan
I am in the midst of sorting out some images taken over the last few years and just thought I would share these portraits of school children at the Marol Academy in Luonyaker, South Sudan, taken in 2010. Very simple images, but I love them. None of the children had ever had their portrait taken [...]
SUSCLAM – Sustainable Coastal Livelihoods and Management in Sulawesi
Tomini Bay, or Teluk Tomini as it is known in Bahasa, is one of the largest bays in Indonesia, covering close to 60,000 km2. It is located at the heart of the Coral Triangle region and is home to an extraordinary wealth of species, particularly in the marine environment. In 2008, the region was declared [...]
