  • Interior of a house in Tam Hiep, a village specialising in making children's soft toys, Ha Tay province, Vietnam. The dust from the fabric causes the workers problems with respiratory disease. With Vietnam’s growing population making less land available for farmers to work, families unable to sustain themselves are turning to the creation of various products in rural areas.  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.

  • "The week of Dunblane."  Mindful of the Dunblane massacre that week, a baby massage class takes place at a health clinic in south London. Spread across a matt are six babies of varying ages and sizes whose mums are tenderly stroking their infants' bodies and senses with soft, gentle touches over the head, face, shoulders, arms, chest, stomach and legs which is a recommended way of tactile communication between mother and child. Some children are looking up into their mothers' faces, others are looking elsewhere and one is upset but comforted. 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.

  • Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher is seen giving a party speech at the 1991 Conservative Party Conference in Blackpool, Lancashire, a full year after being removed by her own colleagues the previous November. Her softer and perhaps pensive expression contrasts with her reputation of the Iron Lady with a gaze that made her opponents uncomfortable. She seems distant here, perhaps recalling her great days in office when she was a powerful figure in world politics. She is wearing the same favourite two-tone blue suit with wide shoulders and a pearl ear-rings as she wore the year before when still in office. The ambient stage lights emphasize the blonde highlights in her hair.

  • Teddy bear stall on Pettycoat Lane Market in the City of London on 2nd February 2020 in London, England, United Kingdom. Petticoat Lane Market is a fashion and clothing market in the East End of London. It consists of two adjacent street markets. Wentworth Street Market is open six days a week, and Middlesex Street Market is open on Sunday only. The name Petticoat Lane came from not only the sale of petticoats but from the fable that they would steal your petticoat at one end of the market and sell it back to you at the other.

  • In mid-flight between Hamburg in Germany and London Heathrow, we see a passenger’s view of a climbing airliner's port wing and the hazy German landscape below at a high altitude. The sky above reflects its soft blue hue on the upper surface of the left wing but the air below is a soft pink, a rural patchwork of fields and villages. As an example of aerodynamic design, the flying machine is a perfect gesture towards the conquest of flight, copied from the characteristics of a bird’s anatomy. As art, the mere beauty of taking to the air and maintaining level, organised speed is so routine, we rarely look our from our window to marvel at how and why. 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.

  • With his personal belongings and beach shingle surrounding him, a man sits on his seaside towel in soft sunlight in Dover eating a snack which is dribbling out of his mouth. The skin from many previous hours of exposure to solar radiation has left him raw and sunburned and therefore dried and dying skin is peeling in shreds on his back and shoulder. He looks like an eccentric local character who seems oblivious to the health risks that his continued sunbathing is inflicting on his bizarrely scorched body.

  • Four children leap out into the wide blue yonder on a beach in Whitley Bay, England. Jumping at a height from a sea defence wall, the kids all hold their towels above their heads and as they leave the ground, look down to their landing spot - the soft sand below. It is a scene of chilhood recklnessness, when children and young people take risks that adults don't. But  youngsters don't have a sense of danger but instead, exhilarating desire for adventure. The beach in the distance is largely deserted so the kids have lots of space to fulfill their games.

  • Protester berating and arguing with the gathered protesters accusing people of being middle class and soft supporters as eviction of the Occupy London OLSX camp takes place. The anti-capitalist demonstration that saw protesters camp outside St Paul's Cathedral in London was brought to an end by bailiffs and police. Protesters staging Occupy London were refused permission by the Court of Appeal last week to challenge orders evicting them from the cathedral steps, where they had been living in tents since October 15 last year. The City of London Corporation called on protesters to remove their tents voluntarily, but around 50 or 60 refused to budge. Some protesters created makeshift barriers out of wooden shelving units as police moved in to help bailiffs clear the camp. Police said 20 people had been arrested but the operation was largely peaceful.

  • Detail of a shop window selling seaside holiday trinkets including different sizes of Golliwogs, on 14th July 2017, at Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. The golliwog is a black fictional character from the late 19th century depicting a rag doll. It was reproduced by commercial and hobby toy-makers as a childrens toy and had great popularity in the UK and Australia into the 1970s. The doll has black skin, eyes rimmed in white, clown lips and frizzy hair and was seen, along with the teddy bear, as a suitable soft toy for a young boy. The image of the doll has become the subject of controversy as the Golliwog has been seen as a depiction of black people, accused along with pickaninnies, minstrels, mammy figures, and other caricatures as being racist. The golliwog has been described as the least known of the major anti-Black caricatures in the United States.

Unlike many other ethnic groups who have relinquished their traditional dress, each Mun family still cultivates cotton and indigo for spinning, weaving, dyeing and sewing into clothing. One of the most ethnically diverse countries in Southeast Asia, Laos has 49 officially recognised ethnic groups although there are many more self-identified and sub groups. These groups are distinguished by their own customs, beliefs and rituals.

Girls learn to weave from a young age, having spent years watching and assisting their mothers and female relatives with ginning, spinning and dyeing.

  • These Sierra Leonian amputees get used to walking on their ?Äúnew?Äù legs. It?Äôs hard work - the stumps are still soft and movement is painful. Their instructor, a Sierra Leonian used to working with the naturally handicapped gently scolds his charges, urging them to stand for longer periods and to imagine that they ?Äú...are just like babies.?Äù Freetown, Sierra Leone 1999

  • A sculptor shapes the female form of an oversized woman sunbather  made from sand on the Thames foreshore on London's South Bank. Working with great care and patience  the artist who is a well-known character on this stretch of low-tide beach uses a yellow bucket and a wide shovel to dig  then work the soft sand into this shape of a giant reclining female who apparently wears a bikini and a hat or some kind. Come the changing tide however  his showcase will disappear beneath the capital's river waters that will soon lap against the south bank riverside at Gabriel's Wharf.

  • A young boy sits on the lawn after falling from his tricycle on a summer's day in the family garden in the early nineteen sixties. Sitting on his knees on the soft summer grass the young lad looks brave rather than tearful. There is the family tent erected across from the path, its open flaps perhaps drying out after rain or simply as a play den for the boy. The picture was recorded on Kodachrome (Kodak) film in about 1964.

  • A businessman stands over a Victorian-style shoe-shiner in a corner of Leadenhall Market in the City of London. His black shoe is resting on a small brass plinth for the leather to be buffed up with the help of Kiwi polish and the efficient speed of a good brushing technique with the final stage being a dusting to bring the best reflective shine. Their relationship is that of paying-customer and servant and we look downwards from the perspective of the wealthier man, a superior view that the client feels when paying for such a service. Wearing a red uniform, the shoe-shiner is on bended-knees, his weight resting on a soft, red cushion, protection from the cold, hard pavement while looking down, concentrating on the job in hand.

  • Two Hawk jets from the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, almost touch in mid-air at an altitude of approximately 4,100 feet in the Mediterranean skies above Cyprus. The texture of mottled cirrus cloud provides a soft background for the  aircraft which approach each other at a combined air speed of approximately 800 miles per hour (1,200 kph). The Opposition Loop is flown by the two pilot partners known as the Synchro Pair who fly independently of the other seven in the second-half of their 25-minute show. The two jets have vegetable dye and derv (diesel fuel) smoke mixture coloured red, blue or white. Here it traces the paths of both airplanes which curve from the edges of the frame to the centre (center). To the crowds far below, both look as if they are on collision course but will safely pass within feet of each other.

  • Stored in their respective wooden boxes are the flying helmets and miscellaneous equipment belonging to two pilots of the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, at their headquarters RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire. All ten pilots have their own storage space for gear. We see the place names of Reds One and Two: Squadron Leader Spike Jepson and Flight Lieutenant Matt Jarvis, whose visors are protected by soft cloths preventing scratches protective face screen. Squadron Leader Jepson is team leader and Flight Lieutenant Jarvis flies slightly behind and to the right in the Red Arrows Diamond Nine formation. On an average winter training day at Scampton, the crews will collect their kit up to six times a day in readiness for the forthcoming summer air show season. Flight Lieutenant Jarvis died of cancer one year later in March 2005.

  • "First shoes in Wales." An eleven month-old infant tries to walk in her first pair of proper rigid shoes whilst on holiday in Snowdonia, North Wales UK. Tentatively taking a few unconfident steps the young girl  cries out in surprise, almost falling over. Her mother instinctively grabs her coat hood before she topples into into the pebbles and soft mud of a river bed which would soil her clean clothes. We see a mother preventing her daughter from getting dirty and from hurting herself, a fast reaction to stop injury on a small child. 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.

  • "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. The tiny toes have yet to support her upright body and walk anywhere because she has been at home from hospital for only a few days. 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.

  • Two US Navy helicopters have been parked next to some cacti at the Pima Air and Space Museum near Davis Monthan Air Force base, Tucson, Arizona. In the arid desert heat we see only the rear sections of the aircraft, their rotors have been moved into a storage position and so echo the arm-like form and camouflaged tones of the cactus branches. The ground is sandy from the desert floor and soft, overhead light casts a shadow beneath the aircraft's fuselage. 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.

  • On a crowded spring day at the seaside, when families and holidaymakers, daytrippers and locals gather at England's coastal regions, a woman here is seen biting into a very soft cream cake. Covered with a chocolate topping, she sinks her mouth into its pastry and somehow manages not to let the cream ooze out over her clothes. Holding a serviette to catch drips, she looks elsewhere as behind, others stand or lean against the solid concrete sea defence wall at Scarborough, North Yorskhire.

  • A businesswoman stands seductively over a Victorian-style shoe-shiner in a corner of Leadenhall Market in the City of London. Her black shoe is resting on a small brass plinth for the leather to be buffed up with the help of Kiwi polish and the efficient speed of a good brushing technique with the final stage being a dusting to bring the best reflective shine. Their relationship is that of paying-customer and servant and we look see a sexually-dominant situation where the wealthy-looking lady is standing over the man with her strong leg showing in a provocative manner. Wearing a red uniform and ID, the shoe-shiner is on bended-knees, his weight resting on a soft, red cushion, protection from the cold, hard pavement while looking down, concentrating on the job in hand.

  • Six walkers blur as they walk through an English wood during a weekend ramble. The friends and colleagues make their way along a country path, through an oak forest in central Kent, south-east England. Our point of view follows the people as they blur, their rucksacks containing lunch and berries, their boots treading on the soft ground.
