  • A shop assistant demonstrates fish spa with feet in warm water containing tiny fish nibbling at her skin. The woman sits with her legs dangling a transparent tank of green liquid. Gathering on her feet and toes, the treatment encourages little fish to gently exfoliate a person’s feet in a warm footbath. The treatment, which is popular in Japan and America, uses tiny carp fish to painlessly exfoliate and remove dead skin. The fish, which originate in Turkey, have long been used in the Far East to treat skin complaints such as eczema and psoriasis. The fish saliva contains an enzyme called diathanol that is said to improve the skin regeneration process. Critics have branded the treatment “unhygienic” claiming that infections could be spread between customers through small cracks in the skin. Fish therapy has been banned in 14 states in America.

  • A young man sits on a sandbank beneath a sun brolley. With legs and feet protruding the man is in the middle of a sand maze constructed for the London Thames Festival, the annual celebration of all things related to London life and culture. The maze has been trodden by pairs of feet to create concentric circles that ultimately lead to the centre. Seen only at low-tide on the river's foreshore near Gabriel's Wharf, the stretch of fine, natural sandy beach is used by Londoners to sample a touch of seaside on fine summer days and was popular with Victorians before the arrivals of railways taking them to the coast. Nowadays the Thames is much cleaner after more stringent environment policies and the sand in some places is pure.

  • The front feet of an Asian elephant decorated ready for the procession at the annual Sayaboury elephant festival, Sayaboury province, Lao PDR. Originally created by ElefantAsia in 2007, the 3-day elephant festival takes place in February in the province of Sayaboury with over 80,000 local and international people coming together to experience the grand procession of decorated elephants. It is now organised by the provincial government of Sayaboury.The Elephant Festival is designed to draw the public's attention to the condition of the endangered elephant, whilst acknowledging and celebrating the ancestral tradition of elephant domestication and the way of life chosen by the mahout. Laos was once known as the land of a million elephants but now there are fewer than 900 living in the country. Around 470 of them are in captivity, traditionally employed by a lucrative logging industry. Elephants are trained and worked by a mahout (handler) whose relationship to the animal is often described as a marriage and can last a lifetime. But captive elephants are often overworked and exhausted and as a consequence no longer breed. With only two elephants born for every ten that die, the Asian elephant, the sacred national emblem of Laos, is under serious threat of extinction.

  • A worker mixing coal dust with her feet for making bricks for burning in the kilns, Bat Trang ceramic making village, Hanoi; Vietnam.

These ‘craft’ villages specialise in a single product or activity, anything from palm leaf hats to incense sticks, or from noodle making to snake-catching. Some of these ‘craft’ villages date back hundreds of years, whilst others are a more recent response to enable rural farmers to earn much needed extra income.

  • "No Distance Covered." The leathery soles of a new-born 3 day-old baby girl's feet are seen in detail. Her skin is wrinkled and cracked despite applying foot lotion to keep them soft.

This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • A Brokpa woman wearing traditional yak skin shoes in Merak, Eastern Bhutan. The Brokpa, the semi-nomads of the villages of Merak and Sakteng are said to have migrated to Bhutan a few centuries ago from the Tshona region of Southern Tibet. Thriving on rearing yaks and sheep, the Brokpas have maintained many of their unique traditions and customs. Given the geographic isolation of many of Bhutan's villages, there are 16 different dialects and 14 regional groups in the country. Many tribes have kept alive their distinct cultural identities through their dress, language and traditions over the years.

  • An urban north European fox lies dead in a south London road after being killed by a local vehicle. With a fatal injury to its head, the animal has died the previous night in the gutter of a quiet road in the London borough of Lambeth. Its reddish fur and especially its tail - known as the brush - are otherwise unaffected and so may have succumbed to shock rather than major trauma. It is an adult, rather than a cub and will have been missed by its local den. 'Vulpes vulpes' has a long history of association with humans, having been extensively hunted as a pest and furbearer for many centuries, as well as being represented in human folklore and mythology. Because of its widespread distribution and large population, the red fox is one of the most important furbearing animals harvested for the fur trade.
