Happy to share that my photograph “Fun In The Rain” is a nominee in the Children Of The World category of the 20th annual Black and White Spider Awards.
The 102mp image, made on the Fujifilm GFX100RF was processed using the Fujifilm Acros raw profile in Adobe’s LightRoom Classic, on my Mac Studio using calibrated Eizo CG276 monitors. You can find my review of the GFX100RF here.

Absolutely delighted to share the good news that the international group of judges from the IAA have chosen to generously award my work, in amongst entries from 45 countries, with one gold and eight silver winners’ awards.
Astonishingly, four of the nine photographs were made using the new Fujifilm GFX100RF which I had on loan to review (you can read my review on this blog).
“The International Awards Associate (IAA) is pleased to announce the exceptional winners of the 2025 Global Photography Awards. This year, under the theme “Framing the World,” the competition recognizes photographers from across the globe to capture unique interpretations of this ever-evolving world.”
“Photography has the power to bridge continents, cultures, and perspectives. This year’s submissions reveal how photographers transform everyday moments into universal stories. Photographers have shown us that perspective is limitless, capturing landscapes, moments, and emotions that invite reflection while inspiring imagination,” said Thomas Brandt, spokesperson of IAA.
The awarded work is a mixture of magazine assignments, personal work as well as photographs made during this summer’s Passionate Photographer London Street Photography Masterclass. If you fancy joining us for our fifth annual week long workshop in 2026, see my friend and colleague Steve Simon’s website.
As always, the raw files were processed in Adobe’s LightRoom Classic, on my Mac Studio using a pair of calibrated Eizo CG276 monitors.

Absolutely delighted to share that four of my photographs have been shortlisted in the prestigious British Photography Awards. Also, delighted to hear that in total, the 2023/2024 entry fees by participating photographers, raised £25,510.00 for 19 charities. It’s great to be part of this charity oriented awards.

Absolutely overjoyed to share some great news from today! The International Awards Associate (IAA), in unison with the European Photography Awards, have selected three of my photographs as Gold winners and seven other images as recipients of Honourable Mentions.

In the commercial photography using lighting, I also always use a colour meter, to compensate for any colour temperature shifts brought forth by light diffusers and reflectors.

Absolutely thrilled to share that this photograph has made the shortlist of the prestigious Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year 2024 award, in the Champagne Taittinger Food for Celebration category.
I’m especially thrilled the judges picked the photograph, as it’s a very subtle image of a smaller scale celebration about to be had. The category is filled with many beautiful large scale celebratory occasions, so it makes the inclusion of my street photograph even more special. Thank you to the judges.
The winning photographs will be announced at the Awards Evening on Tuesday 4 June.
This will be followed by the exhibition at the Mall Galleries, in London, from the 5th – 9th June, 2024.
Photographed on a Lumix G9 with a Leica DG 10-25mm Vario-Summilux. Processed on a Mac Studio, using LightRoom Classic and finished in Exposure Software X7, using Eizo CG 276 displays.
