Nobody can say my clients for photoshoots are not many and varied. I was commissioned recently to photograph Father Paschal at St Mary’s Church in Somers Town, London. An absolute pleasure to meet him and we got quite a few photographs that they loved. This is one of my

Since I took this photo at the unite the kingdom march yesterday, it’s taken on a bit of a life of its own. Many large accounts just stole it and used without credit which is always a terrible thing to do. A credit costs nothing and makes a big difference to me as a photographer.

On the morning rush hour tube right now and look at this; a whole row of people reading books. It's a sad state of affairs when people can't afford mobile phones and have to resort to books.

If I’m honest, I never wanted to live in a Muslim country, but here we are. Full veils and Allah. London.

On my way home from England to London on the train today and a person blasted his FaceTime call right opposite me. Usually, I’ve sat quietly, or moved. Today I told him immediately it wasn’t acceptable. We had many words and he looked at me assessing whether to become violent or

It’s interesting as I walk through Whitechapel tonight, that I’ve noticed Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, has managed to remove every single British Union Jack flag from lampposts, but the Palestinian flags are still up. Including this one that has been here around two years.

I preferred Britain before Muslims stabbed innocent Jews to death, ran innocent people over with their vans on Westminster Bridge, blew innocent people up on a bus and on the tube and celebrated in the streets afterwards. Seemed like a better country and better times somehow.

Can we have an agreement, please, pub landlords? If I order a pint at the bar and that pint costs over £7, can you please let me know before you pour it. Say, “this is over £7, do you still want it?”. To which I shall reply, “no, thank you”.

Absolutely heartbreaking scene at table next to me in the pub right now. Mother and father, probably early 30s and their son, about 5. Son: “mummy, look at this. Mummy look at this”. Mummy hasn’t looked up once from watching TikTok. Earphones in. No acknowledgment at all for past

Have you noticed that when someone is very rich and doesn’t need to worry about losing their job or potential business, they say what the rest of us are thinking? Elon and JK Rowling for instance.

On the bus in London now on my way to today’s photoshoot. Seems I’ve added a bit of diversity by getting on here.

This is another photo I took at the Unite The Kingdom march in London on Saturday. Think it got missed in the excitement about my other photo, but I really like this one and you can see the bloke (I now know is called Ben) on the lion with The flag of St George posing perfectly.
