  • Roses for Sale, Bantry Market

    The roses lean out of their black plastic pots like they’re craning for a better view of the customer, and she’s giving them a proper once-over, but what I noticed was the tote bag so floral it could be for sale at the flower stall.

  • The Reflection and the Real

    The poster girl gets the beach, the dunes, the perfect light and a 30% discount; the actual shopper gets a footpath, a purple handbag and a too-warm day in the town.

  • The Reading Room on Wheels

    I think he was double parked, probably waiting for someone and reading the newspaper on a cool March afternoon in 2021.

  • Boardwalk to the Last Light

    The boardwalk pulled me straight in. Those weathered planks running across the dark volcanic sand towards a sea gone smooth from a long exposure, like the Atlantic had decided to hold its breath for me.

    Playa de Ajabo at dusk is a different beast to the postcard Tenerife of packed loungers and factor-50. This was the middle of winter after all. Even during the day there weren’t huge crowds, the two thatched parasols stood there in silhouette like a pair of scarecrows off duty, and the sky was transforming from molten orange at the horizon up to a deep, cool blue overhead.

  • Hand in Hand on a Valencia Pavement

    Fingers loosely laced, a thin ring catching the light and that small contact is the whole picture.

  • The Glass Cathedral of Work

    A wall of glass tilt over your head and you start to feel very small, very corporate and very much in need of a strong coffee. This is the WeWork office in London. Look closely and there’s one warm pendant lamp glowing in a window, a tiny pocket of cosiness in a tower of cold glass, and that’s the bit that gets me.

    I’d rather be working from home and I think most people would too.

  • Everyone in a Hurry but Him

    Colour street photo on Henry Street, Dublin: a man in a red jacket sits on a grey utility box with a yellow electrical hazard sticker, raising a hand to his face, while blurred shoppers walk past; shop signage reads "JABES INTERIORS", "BAGGY", "ne House", "FONE CONNECT Sales.Repairs.Accessories", "EX", "Authentic Italian Gelateria", "Gi", and a digital screen reads "BOR READ"
    Colour street photo on Henry Street, Dublin, in strong sunlight: a man in a red jacket sits calmly on a black utility box with clasped hands as blurred pedestrians and long shadows cross the granite paving; signage reads "FONE CONNECT Sales.Repairs.Accessories", "EX", "ne House", "Authentic Italian Gelateria", "Gino's", and an Aperol Spritz advertisement with "CREPES WAFFLES COFFEE"
    Colour street photo on Henry Street, Dublin: a man in a red jacket sits on a grey utility box surrounded by a busy crowd, some standing still and others blurred mid-stride across the sunlit pavement; signage reads "FONE CONNECT Sales.Repairs.Accessories", "EX", "ne House", "Authentic Italian Gelateria", "Gino's", and a digital screen showing "CREATE"

    The man in the red jacket became my anchor the moment I set up. Henry Street on a sunny day is a river of people. Shoppers, buskers’ audiences, lads cutting across to Gino’s for a cone, and a slow shutter turns all of that into smears of colour and ghostly half-people mid-stride. But he just sat there on the utility box, hands clasped, watching the world rush by at a blur while he stayed pin-sharp.

  • Perched and Patient

    A heron perched on a boat in Kinsale harbour last year. Patient and watching.

  • Rearing to Go at the Dingle Races

    Number 9 had clearly decided that the racing could wait. I was wandering around at the Dingle Races and right in front of me this dark bay racehouse reared up on it’s hind legs while the poor jocket and two men tried to calm the animal.

    It only lasted a moment and the racing continued.

  • A Quiet Bench in a Busy City

    Early morning in Spitalfields, near the market and I spotted a man enjoying a moment by himself in the nearby green area.

  • Low Tide on the Thames

    Pull the river back a few metres and London grows a beach. I caught this stretch of Thames foreshore at low tide, the water was a proper builder’s-tea brown, the City stacked up behind like someone had emptied a box of glass towers.

    I love springer spaniels, so I had to photograph this.

  • Where the Lizandro Meets the Sea

    A surfer, fresh out of the water, with her body board while a couple nearby walk and photograph the beach.

    What you might notice from the waves and the way the dress of the woman on the far left is whipped about is the wind. No wonder surfers love this part of the world! This beach is inside the Ericeira World Surfing Reserve so you’ll find surfers here when the waves rise and come thundering on to the sand.
