Most of the Rade-goers went all out with their costumes and make-up and this young lady also went out of her way to pose for us. I really loved editing the above black and white portrait, but I also love the dress, so thought I’d show you a colour shot as well. Again, I…

These portraits were taken at the Midsummer Faerie Rade in Melbourne in 2016 (a couple of weekends ago). Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 45mm portrait lens (90mm equivalent).

I was wondering through the markets at Wala in the South Pacific, taking in the sights and sounds of the tiny island when I spotted this beautiful mother and baby. It was a very quick single snap and I’m so glad it turned out. To me, it’s such a heartwarming scene. She looks so happy…

Just a quick post to say that I’m still alive. I was travelling for the last two weeks – I went to Cambridge (UK) for work for a little over a week, then London on the weekend and Amsterdam for a couple of days. London and Amsterdam were short holidays and I had a…

This is probably my favourite portrait from the South Pacific. I was in Vanuatu, having a tour of the village. This young boy was tasked with guiding us to the final spot, where we enjoyed some local fruits and drinks and a tribal dance. I’m submitting this for Day 3 of the B&W photo challenge (Cardinal…
