On Saturday night I photographed the LOLDance Salsa & Bachata party in the magnificent Berkshire Ballroom, set in the heart of the Easthampstead Park Conference Centre.

This video was shared by a very good friend of mine, a talented photographer Tina Clearly. It has a very simple and yet very powerful message: “Make sure you exist in family photographs for your children, for the people you love and for yourself.” The words in this video resonate so deeply with how I feel …
Last month I had a lovely session with a friend and colleague of mine Tina from Clear Moments Photography. We photographers are always at the other end of the camera and often don’t have a lot of good photographs of ourselves, so I was very honoured that Tina has chosen to come to me, and a …
