Martology Photography, food and other passions
Go Team GB!
The Olympics is almost here, and I had an amazing opportunity back in November to photograph one of our Paralympic athletes, Karen Darke. Karen was paralysed from her chest down when she was 21 in a rock climbing accident. Now she is going for gold handcycling in London 2012. But if that’s not enough, she [...]
The Book of the Dark
I’ve been working with a few artists for years, photographing their art, capturing their portraits and the process of their work. It’s such a privilege to be able to follow their workflow and see up close the art they produce. I hope to introduce you to a couple of them with time, but today I [...]
A Royal Hat-Trick
Photography definitely open doors you normally wouldn’t dream of. In the last year or two I’ve had the privilege of meeting several members of the Royal family. The most recent encounter being inside Buckingham Palace. First out was HRH Princess Alexandra. I was commissioned to photograph her unveiling a plaque at the British Home. She is [...]
Chef Taster: Chapter 2 is on its way
I’ve been a busy bee lately. Not just because I’ve photographed Prince Philip at Buckingham Palace, bubble tea for a magazine or luxury home cinemas in Hampstead. But April is almost upon us, which means it’s time for the next Chef Taster calendar! If you missed the first one, have a look at my blog [...]
iPad cover: DONE!
If you’ve been reading my blog you already know that I like to knit, and I have finally finished the iPad cover. Luckily my photography and retouching skills are better than my knitting skills, so I have managed to hide most of the mistakes I’ve done… But nevertheless, I’m quite proud of the finished product! I [...]
Central – A place to eat, work and be inspired 3/3
This is the last of three posts about Central Working – a place to eat, meet, work and be inspired. Read the first and second post here. Central Working in Bloomsbury has got three meeting rooms called Serious, Old Skool and the Love room. The meeting rooms are full of character, but a bit of a challenge to photograph [...]
On a cloud
Being a photographer comes with a lot of perks. I get to visit breathtaking places, taste delicious food and meet inspiring people. One of my favourite portraits is from a shoot I did for The Microsoft Magazine featuring an interview about innovation with Charles Leadbeater. Charles Leadbeater is considered to be a leading expert on innovation. [...]
The Launch of Chef Taster
Back in November art director Andy Paterson-Jones asked me if I was interested in doing a Christmas card with him. Theme: chocolate. I must confess I’m a sucker for sweets, in particular chocolate. One idea followed the other and before we knew it we had scrapped the Christmas card idea and were planning a food [...]
Knitting an iPad cover
I started knitting when I was very young. My mum gave me a couple of extra large green knitting needles and some brown yarn. The plan was to knit a scarf for my dad (lucky him!) The scarf however seemed to grow in the wrong direction. The longer it became, the wider it appeared, and [...]
