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.
Once the judging concludes, the results will be announced at a black-tie Awards Gala in November. Alongside the judged categories, there is also Global Public Voting, so the public can vote for their favourite images (one vote per category, per person). After the awards’ ceremony, there will follow a British Photography Roadshow in 2024-25, so keep your eyes peeled as the roadshow may be close by!
It’s been wonderful to have photographs from such different genres selected by the judges. It’s a testament to how enjoyable and captivating photography is, as a hobby or a profession. The competition is open to all, so grab your cameras and enter for next year!

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.
From the press release of the European Photography Awards; “Drawing an impressive number of entrants, the competition received over 3,500 submissions across 50 nations, including the United States, Germany, Italy, Canada, France, Australia, Spain, United Kingdom, Japan, Switzerland, Greece, Portugal, Sweden, and beyond, featuring its global appeal and presence.”
Many thanks to all the judges and congratulations to the winners and runners up. Here are the ten images, with captions and information on the equipment used.
As always, all the photographs were shot in raw and processed in Adobe’s Lightroom Classic, on either an Apple Mac Pro or Mac Studio, using calibrated Eizo CG276 monitors. 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.

What a phenomenal week, with our amazing workshop participants from the US and Canada. I almost shot 80Gb of data, resulting in 3558 photographs. These took 91,054 steps to achieve over the seven days (two of which were half days), with 110 flights of stairs climbed too. One has to search for the picture!
The group made so many exceptional photographs during our workshop, the best 60 of which are on display.
The group exhibition, an addition to Fujifilm’s “Life As You See It” exhibition, is at the Fujifilm House Of Photography gallery (first floor, wall on the left as you enter). The exhibition is due to be on until at least July 20th, 2024 (do kindly check beforehand if visiting after that date. The main exhibition though continues to July 28th).
Steve Simon and I are tremendously proud of the work the group has achieved and hope that you can make the exhibition.
We’re exceptionally thankful to Fujifilm UK’s support of the workshop and exhibition and can’t thank all the team enough for their kindness and all their help. It’s been a tremendous location to hold our daily class sessions. The gallery and location is without an equal.
Fujifilm House Of Photography is located at 8-9 Long Acre, Covent Garden, London, WC2E 9LH, UK.
This was our third annual summer street photography workshop. Dates haven’t yet been fixed, but we’re hopeful to have our fourth group workshop in July 2025. If you too would like to partake in an immersive, creative, thought provoking, educational and highly enjoyable street and travel photography masterclass, do keep the date in mind and watch this space!
