  • Large arrows coloured red, green and yellow point north, west and east - or up, right and left - in three directions, to offer directions to seminars for Ernst & Young staff during their annual Academy Day held for 3,000 of company London employees at Excel in London's Docklands, England. The people are either confidently pacing forward, standing still to seek guidance or simply spontaneously emerging from the shadows to a brighter future, a moment when freedom of choice is offered and the road ahead dictates their fate. It is a scene of corporate theate and each employee will attend this fair where pep-talks from executives, outside speakers and motivational gurus talk to large groups of E & Y personnel so their presence on this day away from the office is vital for the year's business ahead.

  • In neat diagonal rows, young Nepali boys are crouching on the ground at the British Army's Gurkha base in Pokhara, Nepal where the Britain's Ministry of Defence recruits the best choices to become fully-trained soldiers in the UK's Gurkha Regiment. Some 60,000 young Nepalese boys aged between 17 - 22 (or 25 for those educated enough to become clerks or communications specialists) report to designated recruiting stations in the hills each November, most living from altitudes ranging from 4,000 - 12,000 feet. After initial selection, 7,000 are accepted for further tests from which 700 are sent down here to Pokhara in the shadow of the Himalayas. Only 160 of the best boys succeed in the flight to the UK. The Gurkhas training wing in Nepal has been supplying youth for the British army since the Indian Mutiny of 1857.

  • High in the Nepali Himalayan foothills, travellers may be greeted by the welcoming relief of a group of mountain inns and hotels offering lodging to weary legs after many hours walking uphill in this gruelling landscape. Communities here partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing but also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers from all over the world walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary circuit, a sometimes rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak. To be greeted by so much choice is the most rewarding experience and the offer of hot showers is about the best reward for so much exertion.

  • A portrait of a local butcher in the Essex seaside town of Frinton-on-Sea. Proud of his produce of fresh joints and carcasses of fresh meat, his business shows a successful and protitable financial concern in this Essex seaside town, largely inhabited by the older generation. We see in the background, hanging pork on hooks and beef joints in the display cabinet with a model of a butcher with his chopping block. A butcher is an ancient trade, whose duties may date back to the domestication of livestock, butchers formed guilds in England as far back as 1272. Today, many jurisdictions offer trade certifications for butchers. Some areas expect a three-year apprenticeship followed by the option of becoming a master butcher.

  • From the side of a road in south London, we see a group of naked female mannequins, standing and sitting with furniture on the forecourt of an office supplies business. A clearance sign stands partly-obscured but one’s attention is to the physiques of each model that tends to signify whichever the fashion industry has decreed is the ‘look’ of the decade – whether buxom or skinny – and shop windows are therefore occupied with the clothing shapes of the day. Some women stand in that classic fashion pose, with arms at the side and one leg in front of the other, or sitting with one leg elegantly crossed: All designed to make the clothes they wear look attractive.

  • A rack of quintessentially English ‘saucy postcards’ are on display in Scarborough, the northern seaside town. Telling jokes to send back to friends and family, they using cartoon characters of buxom women, hen-pecked husbands or sexually-frustrated young men, the humour is bawdy and cheeky - the epitome of seaside holiday kitsch. The best-known saucy seaside postcards were created by Bamforths (founded 1870) and despite the decline in popularity of postcards that are overtly tacky, postcards continue to be a significant economic and cultural aspect of British seaside tourism. In the 1950s, Bamforth postcards were among the most popular of the 18 million items purchased at British resorts.

  • Lit by early sun that filters through mountain peaks to this remote village near Ulleri, in the Himalayan foothills, Nepal, we see the veranda of a tea shop that serves weary travellers trekking the Annapurna Circuit and traditional doko basket. Villages such as these partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing and also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary, a sometimes gruelling walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak - and beyond. Tea houses are dotted along the trail offering lodging, refreshments and basic, but delicious food to the weary traveller and the landscapes are often shared with local livestock.

  • A sun symbol belonging to the Communist Party of Nepal (UML - Unified Marxist Leninist) is seen before elections in a wide landscape of a Himalayan valley in the Gorkha district, one of the 75 districts of central Nepal. Beyond the red-painted sign that has been painted in red on a footpath rock, unavoidable by community passers-by, are fertile terraces where rice and other agricultural crops are growing to sustain villages in these foothills. The light is clear and we can see into the far distance to valleys and hills beyond.

  • Seen through the window of a generic central London restaurant, we see a family, possibly tourists, seated in full view of the street's passers-by, while ordering their dinners from a waiter. The man is standing over them, writing down a mother's orders while at the next row of seats, a man is also telling his own waiter what his dinner will be. An Open sign has been placed to attract more trade into this business, a favourite among tourists visiting Theatreland in the capital's West End. It is early evening and the background street is dark with other businesses illuminated. Other couples and customers are also sitting at tables waiting for their food to arrive and in the foreground, a young man sips a glass of Coke from a straw.

  • Looking as if from a past era, two ladies examine shoes at a 1986 jumble sale in the south Wales town of Abergavenney, Monmouthshire. Both are holding right-foot shoes that might suit them at this charity event held by the local Lions club, whose volunteers help the elderly and the disadvantaged within their community. We see some of the clothing piled up on trestle tables but the ladies’ attention is just on their finds which are within their price range, having to survive on meagre pensions.

  • As a sleeping homeless man lies curled up in his sleeping bag on a central London pavement, two window cleaners have carefully placed their ladders at his feet to clean a Boots the chemist sign. Each wearing identical blue working overalls and each wiping the frontage with their left hands, the men are symbolic of the working man versus that of a homeless person without a job, prospects or perhaps a future. The wide gap between hopelessness and the pride of one's achievement is shown here on the sidewalk of modern-day Britain. London is home to some 50,000 homeless people whose place of rest can often be recesses and shop doorways where they seek sanctuary from the cold and street violence. On the opposite end of the wealth and social divides are those who seek work with a positive outlook on life.

  • Seen from an aerial walkway, we look down on a lady airline passengers struggling to separate two trolleys in the baggage reclaim hall in the arrivals of Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. 50-70,000 pieces of British Airways baggage a day travel through 11 miles of conveyor belts which were installed in a 5-storey underground hall beneath the 400m (a quarter of a mile) length of Terminal 5. T5 alone has the capacity to serve around 30 million passengers a year and was completed in 2008 at a cost of £4.3bn. The system was designed by an integrated team from the airport operator BAA, BA and Vanderlande Industries of the Netherlands, and handles both intra-terminal and inter-terminal luggage. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • White plaster or cement Goddess statuettes stand on sale on the forecourt of a garden art business in an Athens suberb, Marathonas Avenue - the original Marathon route of 490 BC. The mostly female figurines are in various poses but are all nudes and are in various gestures of a classical heroic style. Those in the foreground have their arms at the heads and moulded breasts and bodies to show the perfect female form while further to the back are male Gods placed on plinths and in recesses. The 29th modern Olympic circus came home to Greece in 2004 and the birthplace of athletics and the Olympic ideal, amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery.

  • Peering through the steamy window of a Chinese restaurant in London's Chinatown district, we see the shapes and forms of kitchen staff and customers in this lively scene. In the window are rows of Peking Duck with their skins cooked a crispy dark brown. Meanwhile, surrounded by cooking utensils and implements, the tools of their trade, two chefs busy themselves in the kitchen area, one's face shows him to be ethnic Chinese who is rubbing his hands in a cloth before continuing his chores.
