Londoners welcomed in 2020 with what has been dubbed the London Smoke Display. Without the slightest breeze in the air, there was nothing to take the smoke away.

New Zealand House on Haymarket may be one of London’s least loved buildings, but its penthouse balcony has one of the best views of the London skyline. Here’s why I keep going back to photograph it.

A how-to guide to creating stunning photographs of fireworks displays, from location and equipment to camera settings and post-processing.

A day shooting film around London with a 1950s Leica M2: no light meter, no automation, just the sunny 16 rule and the joy of waiting for the scans.

Every photographer has a list of must-get images. Nothing compares to being front and centre and engulfed in the light from the most awesome visual spectacle I have ever witnessed. For me, this is a bucket list shot well and truly ticked.

The Heygate Estate was a large housing estate in Walworth, Southwark, South London, comprising 1,214 homes built in a Neo-Brutalist style. Before the bulldozers rolled in, I jumped over the fence with my camera to explore it.

The Hasselblad H6D-100c is the flagship medium format camera from Hasselblad. Hasselblad loaned me one to photograph the London New Year’s fireworks, and while I had it, I put it to use.

I first saw this view over 3 years ago when I was looking for locations to shoot the New Year’s fireworks display from. When I saw this vista I could visualise in my mind’s eye the image I wanted to make.

The Ricoh GR II is a compact digital camera that redesigns Ricoh’s classic film cameras from 1996, made famous by the Japanese street photographer Daidō Moriyama.

If I was going to take one camera, it may as well be the best camera in the world: the Hasselblad H6D-100c is an incredible piece of kit. I am and will forever be very grateful to the team at Hasselblad UK for putting their faith in me.
