If you are after fun activities’ for the family this Summer in London, you cannot really beat the Ultimate Muppets Guide To Summer In London. When Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and the Muppets Crowd came to London with super villain Ricky Gervais for their wedding at the Tower of London (while filming Muppets Most Wanted), they explored London and sent us their very own recommendations for things…
A while ago I was given the brief from my wife to create a gift for someone. She wanted me to create a montage of numbers that I’ve photographed so that when they were put together they read the date of this particular person’s wedding.

Bokeh can be used creatively in so many different ways and can be the difference between an ordinary picture and one that has an…
Following a recent Memphis The Musical launch event at the legendary Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, new footage has been released featuring interviews and the unforgettable performances from the two leads, Beverley Knight, Killian Donnelly as well as Bon Jovi’s David Bryan, who composed the original score for the Musical. I personally cannot wait to see it. But i will have to wait until the…
In art triangles are a wonderful and beautiful thing. We look for them to help describe an image, we create them with shadows and subjects and we use them to lead the eye around a picture.
Take a walk into any art gallery and take a look at some of the old great masters. Whilst you might not see an actually triangle shape you’ll notice points of interest, like a highlight, that if you drew a…
