I am absolutely thrilled to share that one of my short films, Solitude, has made it in to the top four of the shortlist for the Short Movie section of the Professional Photographer of the Year 2013 competition.
My short film joins my news image and street photograph, who are also in the final shortlist of 20. I am absolutely honoured to have three of my works in the finals! Please keep your fingers crossed!

I’m pleased to say I made the shortlist and was commended in the Nikon Videographer of the Year category for my short documentary film on the Electric Coffee Company in Ealing, west London.
There will be an exhibition of the photographs (sadly not including the short films) at the Museum of London, from today (November 6th) to the 16th of March 2014. For more details please visit their website.
Many thanks to the fabulous Nick Ray for providing some photographs from the evening.
On a technical note, the video was shot using a Leica M (Type 240) and Leica lenses. For more details on the tools used, please see my earlier post on this.

Thrilled to share that I’m a finalist in the UK Picture Editors’ Guild Videographer Of The Year category. The film was a feature on a privately owned speciality cafe in Ealing called the Electric Coffee Company. The awards evening is on November 4th, so please keep your fingers crossed!
The film was my first ever using the new Leica M (Type 240) and also the first time using the very useful Manfrotto 561BHDV Fluid Monopod with Head.

Extremely happy to share that two of my images have been awarded “Marks of Excellence” in the I Shot It Photo Competition.
The first image is a street photograph, taken whilst walking around Fleet Street and The Strand after being subject of a photo shoot, in a project on The Photographers of Fleet Street.

Judges Comment: This could be a portrait, a magazine photo or a street photo. The unusual crop that allow the viewer to see more than just the alley lifts the photo to being a photo from a time period as well. Yet, everything leads to the person walking, and that is what makes it work and sets the atmosphere.
The second is an image taken of some British gentlemen out for a summer saunter. During the walk of several miles, the group popped into an art gallery and this image presented itself.
The Summer Saunter. A group of bold and independent men led by stylist Timothy Lord and The Chap Magazine’s Albion step out in style in the name of sartorial freedom, from the steps of St. Paul’s Cathedral to Mayfair’s Berkeley Square in a demonstration of solidarity with all men who dare to dress differently. London, UK. Toby Pennington at an exhibition by Agnieszka Brzeżańska, Marlborough Contemporary gallery, Albemarle Street, London, where the gentlemen stopped for a Champagne break. July 21, 2013.

Judges Comment: This could be the artist or just a fashionable guest at a gallery. The composition tell a story of a man, a piece of art and a city outside in one photo, elegantly framed with light and shadow. Well done!
