Textures of Autumn

I made it my mission to capture the textures of Autumn this year as I always tend to miss them! So during my lunch break I nipped down to the nearby park just before it started to fill up with the working crowd to take some photos... and here they are, just in time before the chilly blue winter season arrives.

I love the colours of Autumn and how symbolic this time of year is coupled with the feeling of childhood nostalgia. As the leaves falter and decorate our path, it reminds me of nature and life's beautiful cycle.

"The season for enjoying the fullness of life - partaking of the harvest, sharing the harvest with others, and reinvesting and saving portions of the harvest for yet another season of growth." - Denis Waitley

A Beautiful Smile

I had the joy of shooting these portraits of bride-to-be Kristle. She has such an infectious and gorgeous smile. What I loved about this shoot was the ease of capturing Kristle's gleaming excitement. You can see that she has the world at her feet and what's special is that Kristle is one of those people who is a living proof that when you smile, the whole world smiles with you.

Brighton Rocks!

Didn't I tell you that I'd be back in Quirky Brighton? My cousins came to London for a quick City break recently and I thought why not show them around Brighton for a day? As soon as we arrived, off we headed to the Pier and played a game or two in the arcades. We even won a few prizes which was a nice treat! Of course while in Brighton, fish 'n' chips on the beach is compulsory which is exactly what we did for lunch. The rest of the day involved a nice stroll in the high street and a rest on the deck chairs by the pier. Lovely x

Quirky Brighton

A glimpse of summer in sunny Brighton, one of Britain's most iconic tourist attractions and of my favourite places to visit for its vibrant, colourful and eclectic vibe. From the Lanes to the beach waterfront, there's always something to do here which is why I will be back soon!

Omar: Take two

Omar and I joined forces this cool spring to take some portraits and on this occasion, our main spot was Canary Wharf - one of London's most famous financial hub but also a trendy and very convenient location perfect for a photo shoot.

It was great working with Omar again as he is quite the natural in front of the camera and it made my job quite easy! If you didn't see a sample of the photos from the last shoot, click here.

Here is a collection from the recent shoot :)
