  • Looking down from a high viewpoint, prospective auction bidders take notes from their catalogues of old red British Telecom (BT) pay phone boxes which are lined up on display in their hundreds before the actual sale starts. The 'lots' are squeezed together along pathways allowing customers to thoroughly inspect their potential purchases' details. This is a wide-angle picture taken on the slant with the distant boxes curling around to the left. One man in blue who has opened the stiff-opening door, cranes his neck to look up into the ceiling of these solid cast-iron frames. The K-series kiosks were largely designed in 1936 by the iconic designer Giles Gilbert Scott.

  • A flying helmet belonging to a member of the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, is cradled in the highly-polished open Plexiglass  canopy of a team Hawk jet aircraft. With the arrow pointing downwards we see it from below along with the airplane's red fuselage and the words Royal Air Force stencilled in blue lettering on the side within a white stripe. There are strong angles with clear blue space on the top right. The colours that dominate this image are red, white and blue - the colors of the Union Jack, United Kingdom's flag. This scene is at RAF Akrotiri, Cypus where the Red Arrows put the finishing touches to their display sequences before starting the gruelling air show calendar in the UK and Europe. The squadron represents all that is perfect with aerobatic flying, about teamwork and discipline.

  • Diagonal angle of Arsenal footballer and trolley, in Carnaby Street, London. In a coincidence of diagonal slants, we see the Arsenal footballer Mathieu Flamini on the field during a football game. His image appears in the shop window of sports brand Puma. Sharing the slant are a man pulling his luggage and a delivery man who pushes an empty trolley in front of him, the diagonals matching the scene.

In a side street near insurance house Lloyds of London in the heart of capital's financial district (founded by the Romans in the 1st Century), the two workmen carefully push and pull the lockers towards the site nearby. With safety tape stretched across the pavement, the men observe other safety considerations in hi-viz tabards.

  • WW2-era concrete pillbox defence structure lies on the beach after coastal erosion at Warden Point, Isle of Sheppey, Kent. As part of Britain's coastal defences in the 1940s, beaches were mined and concrete bunkers  installed as lookouts facing out so sea and in the event of an invasion by German forces, as firing positions. Overhead, the Luftwaffe flew on their way to London during the Blitzkrieg. More recently, they have fallen into the sea after coastal erosion continues to wash the sedimentary soil (from the Eocene geological epoch of 52-51 million years ago) into the tidal waters of the Thames estuary. Chain Home Low Station at Warden Point was built in 1941 it stood on top of the cliffs then. Erosion of cliffs caused the remaining buildings to fall into the sea in the 1970s.

We look down to street level to see the wonky character of lines and geometry: The badly-painted parallel parking restrictioin lines that bend with the angle of the kerb as well as the damaged, scraped and leaning bollard, there to deter drivers from parking on the pavement but which has been pushed over by a driver. The picture is about the irony of geometry, of the madness of urban details.

  • In mid-day heat of the arid Arizona desert sit the remains of a Boeing airliner and a US Navy fighter jet and engines stacked  at the storage facility at Davis Monthan, Tucson. Here, the fate of the world’s retired civil airliners and military aircraft are decided by age or a cooling economy and are either cannibalised for still-working parts or recycled for scrap, their aluminium fuselages worth more than their sum total. After a lifetime of safe flight, wings are clipped and cockpits sliced apart by huge guillotines, cutting through their once-magnificant engineering. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

Trying for places in the Gurkha Regiment is part of a tough endurance series to find physically perfect specimens for British army infantry training. They will need to perform 25 straight-kneed sit-ups at a 45° slant both within 60 seconds to pass. 60,000 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. Only 160 of the best boys succeed in the journey to the UK. The Gurkhas have been supplying youth for the British army since the Indian Mutiny of 1857.

This is part of a tough endurance series to find physically perfect specimens for British army infantry training. They will need to perform 25 straight-kneed sit-ups at a 45° slant both within 60 seconds to pass. 60,000 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 journey to the UK. The Gurkhas have been supplying youth for the British army since the Indian Mutiny of 1857.

  • Static display aircraft lined-up at the Farnborough Airshow, the Airbus A400M is on the right. At a slightly slanted angle we see other jet airliners in the distance: The Etihad Airlines cargo version of the Boeing 777 and behind that is the Airbus A380. The Farnborough International Airshow is a seven-day international trade fair for the aerospace business which is held biennially in Hampshire, England. The airshow is organised by Farnborough International Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of British aerospace industry's body the Society of British Aerospace Companies (SBAC) to demonstrate both civilian and military aircraft to potential customers and investors.

  • The Spanking Post, where people can come to be spanked by the slightly fetish slanted performers. It is all in the best sense of fun and theatre. The Art Car Boot Fair in a car park just off Brick Lane in East London. This is an alternative art event where artists show their works and engage with the public. The Art Car Boot Fair was an idea that grew out of a desire to re-introduce some summer fun and frivolity into a thriving but increasingly commercial London art scene. The aim for the Art Car Boot Fair is to be a day when the artists let their hair down and for all-comers to engage with art in a totally informal way, and to pick up some real art bargains.

  • A man carrying a briefcase walks on the south side of London Bridge in Southwark, central London. As he makes his way uphill and alongside a slanted wall, his long shadow from winter afternoon shunshine is cast in front of him as a distorted form of his body. We still see the shape of his hat and the case on his right hand.

  • A three year-old girl throws her head back with joy while playing with her young one-year-old brother in the back garden of their South London home. We look down on the small girl who throws her head back with delight and the freedom of an early summer afternoon at home. Little brother laughs with pleasure too, sitting on a toy tractor. The picture is slanted to lend a sense of drama. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released.
