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. Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 100 Shutter…

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. Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 160 Shutter speed 1/500s

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. Aperture ƒ/4.5 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 43mm ISO 500 Shutter speed 1/500s

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…

Hand in Hand on a Valencia Pavement
Fingers loosely laced, a thin ring catching the light and that small contact is the whole picture. Aperture ƒ/2.8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 24mm ISO 640 Shutter speed 1/500s

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…

Everyone in a Hurry but Him
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…

Perched and Patient
A heron perched on a boat in Kinsale harbour last year. Patient and watching. Aperture ƒ/6.3 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 240mm ISO 800 Shutter speed 1/1000s

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. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 320 Shutter speed 1/500s

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. Aperture ƒ/8…

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…
