Walk the Walk 2016 with The Tootsie Rollers

On Saturday I was invited back to Walk the Walk to capture The Tootsie Rollers performing their charity single and then starting the half marathon through the night all to raise funds to end breast cancer. As when I attended in 2014 the atmosphere was incredible with 15,000 people in the tent being treated to […]

Safari in Senegal

As fun as the crocodile and monkey viewings had been it didn’t really feel like we had seen the best of the wildlife that West Africa can offer. After some online research and a few emails we booked a safari in Senegal at the Fathala Reserve with Black and White Tours. £80 would get us a […]

A day out in The Gambia: Crocs, monkeys, fish and markets

I’ll admit that I was quite settled in the routine shown in the photo below after just one day at Nemasu Lodge but when invited by some of the other guests to join them on a day trip to see some of the highlights The Gambia has to offer, ranging from a crocodile pond to a […]

The Gambia: A game of two halves

“Bingo time! BIIINNNGOOOOOO!” shouted the lead entertainer as ‘Mysterious Girl’ blared out of the speakers and an order of fried chicken and chips was delivered pool side to another couple. Djembe Beach Resort was the second hotel of our week stay in The Gambia and it would be hard to find any fault with it at […]

Protesting with Amnesty UK for Albert Woodfox

Amnesty UK commissioned me to take photos at their latest march, protesting for Albert Woodfox, as part of their annual student conference. “Albert has spent the last 43 years in solitary confinement. Despite having his conviction overturned three times and an appeals court ruling his immediate and unconditional release, Albert remains in his 6×4 foot […]

Shine Night Walk 2015

I was invited back to volunteer as a photographer at Shine Night Walk 2015 and I was really happy to help with such a good cause. The atmosphere was incredible once again with thousands of walkers, all in good spirit, loads of volunteers on the route and London lit up in Cancer Research colours. I also got […]

A Ghanaian Summer – 2015

Despite it being almost two years it barely felt like I’d been away when I went through customs at Kotoka Airport in Accra. The same humidity, big queues for immigration and Dan being late to meet me. As always though my experiences in Ghana were huge fun and a lot of work was completed. I’ve […]

Back Door Kitchen @ Unwined in Tooting

After taking a load of photos for #24HrsToots I was invited to take photos of Rob, the chef currently residing at Unwined in Tooting, and his wonderful food. He runs Back Door Kitchen and is their first guest chef. I headed down to the market on Sunday lunch time and was fortunate enough to be offered a couple of dishes […]

#24HrsToots

A recent piece of research claimed that Tooting is the unhappiest place in London, something that all Tooting residents knew to be false. I don’t know whether the excellent Tooting Daily PRSS organised #24HrsToots to counter this reputation or not, but it was a fantastic idea. The concept was for as many people as possible […]

Six more must see sights in Ghana

I knew six wouldn’t be enough when I wrote a blog about the must see sights in Ghana a couple of years ago. So here are six more ‘must see’ sights for when you visit Ghana, they range from beaches and forts, to mountains and monkeys. The six can be seen on the map below and […]

Cooking in Rome

“What is the pasta that goes with bolognese sauce?” asked Chef Andrea to group of cooks hoping to learn how to create delicious Italian dishes in his kitchen. I knew this one. “Spaghetti,” I confidently said with a smug look on my face. “NOOOO! That is how you do it in your country, but now you […]
