  • Branches of winter Plane trees in the foreground and the clockface containing the Big Ben bell in the Elizabeth Tower of the British parliament, on 17th January 2017, in London England. The Elizabeth Tower previously called the Clock Tower named in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II in her Diamond Jubilee year – was raised as a part of Charles Barrys design for a new palace, after the old Palace of Westminster was largely destroyed by fire on the night of 16 October 1834. The new Parliament was built in a Neo-gothic style. Although Barry was the chief architect of the Palace, he turned to Augustus Pugin for the design of the clock tower. It celebrated its 150th anniversary on 31 May 2009. The tower was completed in 1858 and has become one of the most prominent symbols of both London and England.

  • Through the window of a hairdressers business in central London  we see a pair of hands massaging a scalp of a male customer who is in a chair for his haircut. In the foreground is a large vertical image of a model whose red hair falls across her face and who wears a light jacket with a pocket dotted scarf. Through a transparent space in this picture we see the anonymous assistant's fingers spread across her client's head  kneading and stimulating his hair. He sits with eyes closed  enjoying the moment of utter self-indulgence and vanity.

  • The fishing fleet of Tarbert on Scotland's Mull of Kintyre lies moored at the dock of this pretty coastal village in the Western Isles. Their colourful hulls shine in late afternoon sunshine as they are tied up awaiting another outing at sea to provide for this small fishing community a living and a livelihood for its families. But in the foreground sit a young couple whose prospects are not so positive: they rest on a bench in silhouette, one smoking a cigarette while turned to the friend who stares out to distant rolling hills. It is a scene of hopelessness that reflects modern life for the youth in remote communities where jobs are scarce and their futures far from secure. In an otherwise idyllic Scottish landscape, we guess at the disintegration of society up here - the scourge of economic downturn and future social problems.

  • Standing against strong Autumnal afternoon light, two police officers from an unknown constabulary, guard one entrance to the venue where the Conservative (Tory) Party Conference is being held, at the Bournemouth International Centre that overlooks the sea in Dorset, England. In 1990, the terrorist threat came from Irish Republicans (IRA) rather than Islamist extemists and credible threats proved to be correct, that these idealists wanted to assassinate Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Police cordons were therefore an efficient method of controlling and restricting access to those without the proper delegates' or media accreditation. The most striking figure is the male officer in the foreground whose profile is prominent because of his traditional police helmet.

  • A dystopian landscape of construction materials and an inspirational view above the city - seen through a wire and netting street fence. Lettering on the hoarding tells us the scene below is inspirational, a capital from a new perspective. But the mess of aggregates and soil, tools and rubble tell a different story: an incongruous landscape of an idealised city and the reality of unfinished work.

  • There is golden light across this narrow stretch of river, yellow flowers are on the bank and in late golden sunlight, two boys paddle upstream in their Indian canoe on the River Thames near the village of Shillingford, England. Lazily they plunge their paddles into the calm, clear blue waters of this majestic river whose source rises in deepest Gloucestershire to its industrial estuary in the English Channel 215 miles (346 km) away. But here in Oxfordshire, it is an idyllic scene of innocent childhood on calm rural waters in a beautiful and tranquil setting, on an English summer afternoon. The boys don't appear to be wearing life vests nor safety equipment but propel their craft forwards against the current with confidence.

  • A group of country ramblers rest for lunch on the sea defence embankment of Halstow Marshes on the Kent Thames estuary marshes, potentially threatened by the future London airport. With the panoramic views beyond, the walkers have stopped at mid-day in sheltered sunshine to admire the landscape that could controversially become the site for London's estuary airport, built on reclaimed and marshland on the river Thames, east of the city. Current London mayor Boris Johnson is in faviour of this project to alleviate pressure from other airport hubs, regardless of wildlife (especially a nearby protected bird sanctuary).

Skyline across the low-rise traditional Chinese housing in the foreground of Nanpudaqiao through the high-rise developments, offices and apartment buildings right across downtown, this vision of capitalism and modernity against traditional sums up the colossal development of this ‘Paris of the East’ as Shanghai was once known. In ten years the city has gone from 2-3 story housing as far as the eye can see to this rising metropolis. So much air pollution and light pollution from buildings, construction, cars and lighting up makes the whole city glow.
