  • "Diptheria, tetanus, polio, whooping cough, meningitis."  A four month-old baby screams with the sharp prick of an innoculation needle administered by a health visitor at a doctor's surgery, London. The post-natal clinic is a health check for the baby and for new mothers to discuss parenting problems with a NHS-qualified midwife and paediatric specialist. She attends to mother and child since they arrived back home from hospital, days after birth and therefore knows all their details and the baby's growth statistics and development curves. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • A four year-old girl throws a tantrum while playing with her young two-year-old brother in the back garden of their South London home. We look down on the small girl who throws her head back in a rage, mouth wide open, after not getting what she wants. But in the background, her younger sibling is oblivious to her emotional outburst and gets on with playing at the foot of a children's garden slide - in an innocent world of his own. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released.

  • 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 pilot of the French Air Force walks looking down along the fuselage of his C-130 Hercules oblivious to nine Hawk jet aircraft of the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, who come screaming behind and 'breaking to land'. This set procedure prepares them to split up as a group, peel off seperately and land safely at the Payerne Air 04 show, Switzerland. It is a perfect day for aerobatics with blue alpine skies during the teams' two-day visit to the Swiss airfield. Payerne is home of the Swiss Air Force who host the cream of international aerobatic display flying every September to 275,000 spectators over a weekend. European display teams and air forces gathered to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Swiss military aviation. .

  • With mouth wide open in mid-shout, a young protester screams his anti-war message to the outside world during a large demonstration against the first Gulf War of 1991. He holds a placard with the now famous Peace Symbol, originally designed in 1958 for the British nuclear disarmament movement, designed by British artist Gerald Holtom for the march planned by the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War (DAC) from Trafalgar Square, London to the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment at Aldermaston. The symbol was later adopted by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), and subsequently became an international emblem for the 1960s anti-war movement and the counterculture of the time.

  • A father supports his son on his shoulders as a giant four-engined airliner passes directly overhead, about to land at London's Heathrow airport, England. Seen from a low angle, we see the graphic cruciform shape of the aircraft as it screams past two powerful airfield landing lights that help guide arriving aircraft to the runway. The backlit scene is largely monochrome apart from the boys red t-shirt and yellow-faced watch which are lit by flash, underexposing the overcast sky. Prior to 9/11, British airport authorities and police tolerated plane spotters near runway fences but with heightened terrorist alerts, these enthusiasts are told to move on or face arrest. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903. .
