Some shots from an afternoon of reportage photography at The De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill. I was asked to capture the atmosphere of the place on a busy Saturday and hopefully get some images they can use for marketing and on their website.
Going Off Grid
Some shots from last week's Off Grid Sessions, the fantastic two day "Ideas That Share" event on Osea Island. OffGrid is a conference that brings together the interesting and interested. Sharing ideas, listening, discussing. Walks, talks and workshops all on the beautiful private Osea Island. Speakers included digital strategist Russel Davies, adventurer Alastair Humphries, undercover economist Tim Harford, journalist and blogger Jamie Bartlett, the Beavertown beer brewers and the installation artist Clare Patey and her Empath Museum.

Friends Reunited
An afternoon of nostalgia and re-aquainting with old friends for Mayfield School's class of 1987.
Year's 1, 3 and 5 of William Patten Primary School in Stoke Newington enjoying a drama workshop from The Freshwater Theatre Company. I shot this for their new brochure.
A favourite picture from a few years ago of my children playing with some friends. Finding this has given me some much needed inspiration to take more pictures of my family.
The Van Man
This is a little shoot I did for Buzzfeed of Jonny Bush, an architecture student at Kent University in Canterbury, who saves money by living on campus in his van which he converted to have a cosy wood burner and run off eco-fuel.
Portfolio appraisal time in the fashion department at West Kent and Ashford College. Part of a marketing shoot I did for them. Reminds me I need to have a look at mine.
Hedgeblog
A baby hedgehog from The East Sussex Wildlife Rescue and Ambulance Service. They have been in the news this week because wildlife rescue centres are struggling to cope with the number of undernourished hedgehogs being brought to them, as winter sets in. At this time of year, a normal hedgehog should weigh around 500g, but some wildlife centres in England are taking in hogs weighing just 100g. Experts believe that the milder weather has led to later births, and these hedgehogs are too young and small to be able to survive winter hibernation.
Lovely wine expert lady, Jilly Goolden for The Daily Mail this week. A real pro in front of the camera and worth a contact sheet style pic I thought.
