  • An unidentified father in the act of pouring coffee from a cafetiere into two metallic silver mugs in while holding his sleeping baby son in his London kitchen. The unconscious child is a few months old and the parent stands expertly holding both hot liquid and infant as if juggling pleasure and parenthood simultaneously. The sleeping child is limp in the father's arm and is dressed in the same scarlet red as the vibrant colour on the wall behind. We only see the man's upper-legs and torso but the baby is tiny against his body making the scale of both young and old. otherwise, the generic room is bare of decoration or possessions - only a drying cloth and chopping board is seen on the draining board, near plain white tiles.

  • Six delegates sit down in good humour at the annual Party Conference of 1993 at Blackpool during the premiership of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. In the centre of frame a lady is sitting on her partner's lap, holding her security pass and wearing a chintzy royal blue ball gown. The male friend is holding her around the waist with both hands and they chat with a third person on the end. Behind the lady in blue are three other people, one of whom is inspecting her cleavage to the surprise of another lady who is staring wide-eyed down at the lady's bosoms. It is a humorous, ridiculous scene at a formal political function

  • Three young men are seen from a very low angle as they make arrangements with other friends to meet at the Spring Feria in Seville, Spain. Beneath dozens of colourful lights which hang from cables above their heads, two stand holding drinks while the third speaks into his mobile phone. They are all impeccably dressed in smart jackets and tasteful ties with one owning a carnation in his lapel. It is a lively event that Seville holds annually in the vast fairground area on the far bank of the Guadalquivir River. Rows of temporary marquee tents, or casetas, host families, corporations and friends into the late hours during the April Fair which begins begins two weeks after the Semana Santa, or Easter Holy Week in the Andalusian capital.

  • Portrait of the renowned British mountaineer,  adventurer, lecturer and writer Sir Chris Bonnington photographed at his home called Badger Hill, in Wigton, Cumbria, England. Bonnington is seen wearing a fleece against a backdrop holding an ice-axe used on a previous Himalayan mountain expedition. Bonnigton is best known for his 1975 expedition to conquer Mount Everest though he was formerly an army officer in the Royal Tank Regiment before making mountaineering and the writing of these sometimes tragic outcomes a career.

  • A young lad of 10 poses for a portrait taken by his brother while holding the hand of his young nephew. Confusingly, the 10 year-old uncle and the 1 year-old child are closer in age than the two brothers. The older boy is on holiday in Malawi visiting expat family in the then capital, Blantyre, so named after the town in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, where the explorer David Livingstone was born. Both boys stand in the dust of a back yard where a broken windmill remains upright in the intense brightness of mid-day. It is a scene of awkward and gangly boyhood versus the confidence and innocence of young childhood and their posture is exaggerated by differing heights. Kodachrome film has a wonderful magenta colour cast in mid-tones reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look.

  • At first glance, we see an angry male holding the severed head of another man in his right hand. But this is a circus act from the Archaos troupe, a french company of oerformers who tour the world with their anarchic version of big top entertainment. With a dark background and with the apparent  murderer wearing black, it is an image of raw, homocidal thuggery: A massacre and attack on another human being. Despite it being a pretence, an act for the sake of an audience with a thirst for the macabre, it is still very disturbing.

  • A two and half year-old girl sits next to her three-month old baby brother, eating lunch during a day out with their mother who is seen holding on tight to the boy. With their hands up to each other's mouths, the girl takes a bite of a slice of bread sandwich. She is clearly relishing her food and has a large appetite while the boy seems to enjoy sucking on his fingers before the age where he can eat solids. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released.

  • A portrait of three brothers of the same family have their picture taken outside their parents' home in Westcliff, England. The eldest is a teenager of approximately 17 and  is holding his youngest brother who is still only 12 months-old. The third boy is biting his lip while looking to the viewer, more anxiously than the other two. He is possibly 14 but both the elder lads wear identically-designed jumpers that cut across the throat to allow their clean white shirts and ties to remain visible. Apart from the young child, the elders share the same dark hair colour but genetically, they share one chromosome that has given them heavy eyebrows, a family trait. This was taken on Kodachrome film stock in the spring of 1961 so the look and feel of the image is dated with wonderfully muted colours that this Kodak film offered to consumers in the early 60s.

  • A Muslim couple walk hand in hand pass-by the Louis Vuitton shop window in New Bond Street. Holding hands, the man and woman show an unusual display of affection, not very much seen in the Muslim world. The red theme of the store window acts as a splash of vibrant colour in an otherwise neutral street landscape in central London. The design is a collaboration between Vuitton and the artist Yakoi Kusama, whose tentacle and flower campaign accompanies a life size Yayoi Kusama model.

  • A lady protects herself from a mid-day summer summer sun with a brightly coloured parasol brolley. Oblivious to the viewer, she balances her lunch snack on her lap with toes pointing inwards, exposed to the hot solar rays. Meanwhile, she holds on tight to her eager pet poodle dog who is straining on its leash, wanting to go for a walk along the largely unpopulated promenade in this Devon resort, otherwise known as the English Riviera. But splashes of white paint (from the painted beach huts) have been left on the pavement. It is a horrible place to sit in the sun and her partner has left her alone to sit on her sun lounger, leaving the second chair vacant.

  • A Beadle mace-bearer from the City of London holds a ceremonial mace in the crook of his left arm during the annual Lord"s Mayor's Show. We see only the arm and the golden mace as a close-up detail. The Beadle's role is now only symbolic, accompanying the City Adlermen as the lead the processions through the capital's ancient financial heart. A Beadle or bedel was a lay official of a church or synagogue who would usher, keep order, make reports, and assist in religious functions; or a minor official who carries out various civil, educational, or ceremonial duties. The term has Franco-English pre-renaissance origins, derived from the Vulgar Latin "bidellus" or "bedellus", rooted in words for "herald". It moved into Old English as a title given to an Anglo-Saxon officer who summoned householders to council.

  • A portrait of a mother in her 41st year has been gathering heather in handfuls and holds up her young child who grins towards his father who is taking the picture at a park near the Essex seaside town of Southend. It is the summer of 1960 and the mum's dress is styled from the previous decade: blue with white spots and pearl necklace. She too is smiling as she grasps the flowers and her child on a warm day. Oddly, the boy looks as though he is wearing a girl's dress which may have been a hand-me-down from an older sibling or just the trend then.
