  • A young boy peers over a clump of vegetation to spy on four beautiful women who are all lying face-down in a sandy dune near the seaside resort of `Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. The girls are oblivious to the attention he is giving them and he cheekily stands, undiscovered, with hands on hips. The four females are in bathing costumes and one is topless with their possessions strewn about the sand. It is a hot afternoon in the sand dunes and the girls are in an otherwise secluded, windless spot. They remain unaware they are being watched by a pre-pubescent voyeur.

  • A statue of Atlas is seemingly about to drop the globe onto a person standing below, in the doorway of a City of London institution. Seen from across the street, we look at a wide view of number 1 King Street in the heart of the capital's financial district. The person holds a green folder, similar to the colour of the building's address panel - standing in the doorway talks on his smartphone unaware of the comical and otherwise, dangerous possibility of a heavy object about to fall on to his head.

  • Obliviously texting on his smartphone, a tourist is unaware of an approaching black lifeguard trooper parading at Horseguards in Whitehall, Westminster, Central London. This regiment is classed as a corps in its own right, and consists of two regiments: Life Guards (British Army) and the Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons). They are the senior regular regiments in the British Army, with traditions dating from 1660.

  • Separated by four floors, two employees of the auditing company Ernst & Young, make their way along walkways in the main atrium of E & Y's European headquarter offices at More London, London England. Striding confidently between offices, the two people are unaware of each other's presence but make their way from right to left of this tall, upright scene of modernity. The senior person on top may have an advantage from better opportunities, the low-ranking worker below may be needing to rise up the ranks. Morning sunlight floods through the green tinted glass that overlooks Tower Bridge on the River Thames. The term atrium comes from Latin: a large and light central hall or reception of a house where guests were greeted. The depth and height of all levels from near the top to almost the bottom give a sense of vertigo, a dizzying perspective.

  • At a beauty talent contest, the finalists line up to await the judges decision. The girls are dressed in all their finery with dresses, pinned up hair and sashes as they're seated in the gym at the Bedford-King Recreation Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The black community hold annual events here including sports competitions and occasions such this pageant where the girls and also boys prove their talents and potential. One young lady however, sees fit to poke her tongue out at the viewer in a cheeky display of humour and character. Her rivals seem oblivious and unaware of her irreverence but perhaps the judge is watching and her chances of winning are now impossible!

  • Separated by colour-coded floors, employees of the auditing company Ernst & Young, participate in informal meetings in E & Y's Norman Foster-designed 385,000 square foot E & Y's European headquarter offices at More London, London England. Those on the top blue level 8 may be more senior to those below on the 7th purple storey of this tall, upright scene of modernity. It is busier on the upper floor then the two men beneath. Subsequent levels are vacant. Architecturally, the term atrium comes from Latin: a large and light central hall or reception of a house where guests were greeted. The depth and height of all levels from near the top to almost the bottom give a sense of vertigo, a dizzying perspective on seniority and success as opposed to lower-ranking middle-management.

  • 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.

  • A female office worker pauses to make a call on her mobile phone, on a wide walkway in Ernst & Young's Norman Foster-designed 385,000 square foot European headquarter at More London, London England. All other walkways above and below are empty and holding her head, the lady has sought privacy from her open-plan workstation and stands on her own. Architecturally, the term atrium comes from Latin: A large and light central hall or reception of a house where guests were greeted. The depth and height of all levels from near the top to almost the bottom give a sense of vertigo, a dizzying perspective. E & Y employs 114,000 people, in 700 locations across 140 countries around the world.

  • Russian Anastasia Dobromyslova (from Tver, Moscow) is the highest-ranking ladies' darts player, having beaten the 7 times champion Trina Gulliver. Here, she competes in an England Open tournament at the Bunn Leisure Holiday Park in Selsey, near Chichester on the south coast of England. Attractive and feminine, she is confident and at ease with her game amid many lesbian women who frequent darts matches like this. She concentrates on each dart thrown and is oblivious to the audience's noise behind her in an upstairs pub at the holiday park. This is one of her many tournaments she travels to during the darts events calendar although she needs to repeatedly renew her visa to gain re-entry into the UK.

  • Locals from Cirencester in the county of Gloucestershire sit below the first world war memorial on St John Baptist <br />
church wall in the city centre. A mother and child sit on a bench below the names of those local men lost in the first war (AD1914-18) - the 200 names tell a story of the lost generation of youth, now replaced by the modern Brit, unused to self-sacrifice and loss on an unimaginable scale. The church is medieval, renowned for its perpendicular porch, fan vaults and merchants' tombs. The chancel is the oldest part of the church. Construction started around 1115.

  • As a young office worker sleeps incongruously on a marble pavement, a street sweeper nearby brushes away litter with a small dustpan. The manual labourer wears blue overalls, yellow gloves and keys in his back pocket while the man in a wastecoat and smart trousers and polished slip-on shoes appears to be fast asleep, his fingers across his chest. This scene suggests the social divisions of the working man: Of the young, educated post-war generation whose opportunities have afforded them a faster lifestyle, far removed from that of the physically-demanding job of a man whose life has been spent cleaning and sweeping. English social differences is clearly represented here as the harshness of the manual labourer versus a lazy youth of today, seen in the middle of the modern city.

  • A young woman walking along a London street is about to be splashed by a passing London double-decker bus at a flooded bus stop. After heavy rain that fell over the capital, puddles or filthy water lies in gullies and gutters of the urban streets - including this bus stop in Aldwych. The young woman is aware of the camera and walks in smart office shoes on the wet pavement (sidewalk) as the bus draws to a halt ahead. But she is more self-conscious than taking precaution not to get wet. The moment before her soaking is caught as the water laps across the kerb and into her path. In the background are the West End theatres whose productions attract drama fans from across the world.

  • A large, manly woman sips a pint of lager during a darts tournament where she competes in an England Open tournament at the Bunn Leisure Holiday Park in Selsey, near Chichester on the south coast of England. Holding three darts with a Union Jack flags on the 'flights', her glass covers her face but we see her rings and bracelet and her ample belly after a life of beer and cigarettes in pubs like this. A great deal of alcohol (mostly lager, but also Coke) is consumed during darts tournaments although smoking in public places has now been banned in the UK, including pubs and bars. This audience seemed to consist largely of very large lesbian women from working families which seems to suggest that the pub (and alcohol) is still the place where women are attracted to the game of darts.

  • An unidentified father in the act of pouring coffee from a cafetiere into two metallic silver mugs in while holding his sleeping baby son in his London kitchen. The unconscious child is a few months old and the parent stands expertly holding both hot liquid and infant as if juggling pleasure and parenthood simultaneously. The sleeping child is limp in the father's arm and is dressed in the same scarlet red as the vibrant colour on the wall behind. We only see the man's upper-legs and torso but the baby is tiny against his body making the scale of both young and old. otherwise, the generic room is bare of decoration or possessions - only a drying cloth and chopping board is seen on the draining board, near plain white tiles.

  • A lady protects herself from a mid-day summer summer sun with a brightly coloured parasol brolley. Oblivious to the viewer, she balances her lunch snack on her lap with toes pointing inwards, exposed to the hot solar rays. Meanwhile, she holds on tight to her eager pet poodle dog who is straining on its leash, wanting to go for a walk along the largely unpopulated promenade in this Devon resort, otherwise known as the English Riviera. But splashes of white paint (from the painted beach huts) have been left on the pavement. It is a horrible place to sit in the sun and her partner has left her alone to sit on her sun lounger, leaving the second chair vacant.

  • Two young men dressed in office suits casually stuff their lunches during a hot lunchtime break in the Broadgate Estate in the City of London. Both with legs across knees, the lads in their 20s sit on a bench beneath a tree alongside the statue of a traditional gardener, slightly bent and equipped with hoe and wearing a wastecoat, hobnailed boots and flat cap, an iconic salt-of-the-earth workman. This scene suggests the social divisions of the working man: Of the young, educated post-war generation whose opportunities have afforded them a faster lifestyle, far removed from that of the physically-exhausted man whose life has been spent working the honest land.  The English social divide is clearly represented here as the harshness of the manual labourer versus the youth of today, seen in the middle of the modern city.

  • Scene of shoppers doing some last minute Christmas shopping, forming a queue outside Debenhams which is closing down along Oxford Street as the Prime Minister announces a new tighter fourth tier of local coronavirus restrictions for London and the South East, and that the planned Christmas relaxation of the rules was to be scrapped on 19th December 2020 in London, United Kingdom.

  • A shoeless child wanders on to Eldoret’s main dump undeterred or unaware of  the constant  risk of cuts from broken glass and infection from needles dumped here by the hospital .<br />
<br />
Eldoret’s main Dump nick named by the locals, ironically, as ‘California’ is home to a community of Kenyans who make their living here recycling plastic, metal charcoal and even scavenging for food either for themselves or for their pigs. The average adult here earns about 150 -200 Kenyan shillings (£1-1.30) The consequences for those who work here on a regular basis including woman and children as young as 7 is  tough; with disease, injury, substance abuse and even the threat of violence an everyday reality.

  • A young protester plays with a joke severed hand unaware of the funny yet gruesome nature of what he is doing. Stoke Newington Zombie-a-thon. Hundreds of people joined together in protest in North London to demonstrate against the planned opening of a large Sainsbury's supermarket. Dressed up as zombies the protesters were making the point that they should keep local shops in the area and not have the high street ruined by large chains. The action by Stokey Local says: "In Stoke Newington, even the dead are rising up to say 'no' to a proposed Sainsbury's development." Walking slowly as if in a zombie film the march culminated in passing a Sainsbury's Local supermarket on the High Street. In the middle of June it was announced that a development is being planned for Wilmer Place, just beside Abney Park Cemetery on the corner of Church Street and the High Street – right in the heart of Stoke Newington. The proposed development comprises a large Sainsbury's supermarket and 44 homes and has significant implications for the diversity of the local economy, local employment, transport & traffic, noise and safety and local heritage.

  • As two young lovers hold each other intimately in Phoenix Gardens, a voyeuristic stranger seemingly looks through bushes. The boy and girl hug in this intimate moment one lunchtime, away from their places of work in this haven of peace amid the bustle of London's Soho in the West End. Unaware of anyone else apart from their own company, we see the voyeur standing in the bushes, apparently watching them as they kiss and cuddle. The gardens are green with plenty of undergrowth and foliage creating a pleasant space. The plants and shrubs make this inner-city oasis a place to enjoy.

  • From the darkened room of Coventry council's CCTV control room, we see over the shoulder of a council camera operator spying on innocent pedestrians and a view of a shopping precinct. Citizens and passers-by go about their own business unaware that their movements are being watched by camera lenses and their human eyes and security personnel. Other monitor screens date the pictures as 24th May 1999 when Coventry was the most-watched city in Britain. The council controversially maintains it deters petty crime but the population disagrees, saying it is obtrusive and symptomatic of a Big Brother-type Orwellian police state.

  • London bus passengers endure the misery of another morning commute into the city. As they sit looking miserable, squashed in the bus, its windows steamed up they are unaware of The Chronicles of Narnia movie poster that shows itself to the outsider. In the panoramic banner often used by the film industry for forthcoming movie productions, we see the main characters from Narnia in heroic, romantic and epic story roles. But the reality of another commute into London is also a heroic experience when wintry conditions often stop the flow of public transport and its infrastructure. The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven fantasy novels for children written by C. S. Lewis. It is considered a classic of children's literature and is the author's best known work, having sold over 100 million copies in 47 languages.

  • Late at night in a South London street, two young children remain fast asleep in the back of their parents' car. It is a dark despite pools of light falling from street lighting that throw heavy shadows beneath other vehicles. The silhouettes of large ash trees can be seen against the city skyline. The interior lights in the car are switched on to reveal the sleeping childrens' faces. An older girl has her mouth wide open while her younger brother is seen in profile but both are peacefully unaware that they have arrived home after a long drive fro the countryside to the inner-city. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released.

Concentrating on their screens in the middle of the chaos of this busy shopping street, the visitors to the capital look frustrated and cross with their apps or messaging. One has the look of an angry consumer of electronics - possibly about to throw his handset across the road. Others walk past unaware of the reaction, preferring instead to pass-by.

  • A lady walks away with an open wallet after taking cash from her local London branch of the Abbey National Building Society. While holding a red umbrella that hides her face, the woman walks away from the cash dispenser and we can see her purse or wallet, open for others to view. The red from her brolley and that of the dispenser’s facia are matching hues so the dominant colour makes the picture’s theme. Cash dispensers in the UK are also called ‘holes in the wall’ and dispense bank notes to high street consumers on demand. The downside is often compromised security when people are unaware of those watching alongside to see PIN numbers and how much money is being taken out.

On Saturday Oct 16 they shut the only entrance to Coryton oil refinery in Essex, UK with the aim of highlighting the issues of climate change and the burning of fossil fuels. The blockade meant that a great number of trucks with oil were not able to leave the refinary during the day of action.

  • A young protester plays with a joke severed hand unaware of the funny yet gruesome nature of what he is doing. Stoke Newington Zombie-a-thon. Hundreds of people joined together in protest in North London to demonstrate against the planned opening of a large Sainsbury's supermarket. Dressed up as zombies the protesters were making the point that they should keep local shops in the area and not have the high street ruined by large chains. The action by Stokey Local says: "In Stoke Newington, even the dead are rising up to say 'no' to a proposed Sainsbury's development." Walking slowly as if in a zombie film the march culminated in passing a Sainsbury's Local supermarket on the High Street. In the middle of June it was announced that a development is being planned for Wilmer Place, just beside Abney Park Cemetery on the corner of Church Street and the High Street – right in the heart of Stoke Newington. The proposed development comprises a large Sainsbury's supermarket and 44 homes and has significant implications for the diversity of the local economy, local employment, transport & traffic, noise and safety and local heritage.

  • The image of a once-famous stag who used to be fed by tourists and the owner of the Oasis cafe on the A82 on Rannoch Moor but shot many times with an air gun by juvenile New Year revellers. Looking out onto the moors it roamed in life, the deer named Big Boy by locals had an insatiable appetite for scraps from outdoor snack bar owner MacDonald and his customers, the stag inched ever closer to the migrant humanity alongside the road. So locally famous did he become that one Hogmanay, the beast was shot several times by air gun-toting juveniles and is now a tragic, posthumous print on the same tourist cafe trailer. Now holidaymakers, unaware of the animal's life and death near this spot, merely stop to photograph the scenery in the hope of seeing the nearby herd that Big Boy ruled over.

  • A man eats a sandwich beneath a poster for retailer H&M on Oxford Street. It is lunchtime on a winter's afternoon and the man has stopped to rest, leaning against the wall of this retail brand's shop in central London. He has positioned himself, unaware of the arm and knuckle of the model, whose hand appears to be pressing the bystander into the corner. Pigeons wait for crumbs and the two parallel lines from a parking restriction offer a bright colour.

  • A lady is about to cross the road with macho men models in a Tommy Hilfiger bus ad behind, in the City of London. About to walk out and cross the road in the heart of the capital's financial district (founded by the Romans in the 1st Century) the woman stands in a pool sunlight unaware of the adverts behind her. We see the ripples of abdominal muscles on the torsos of two men, seemingly drying themselves with branded towels - the epitome of male sexuality and sex-appeal that helps sell lifestyle products.

  • A shoeless child wanders on to Eldoret’s main dump undeterred or unaware of  the constant  risk of cuts from broken glass and infection from needles dumped here by the hospital . ( model release unavailable) <br />
<br />
The Dump nick named by the locals, ironically, as ‘California’ is home to a community of Kenyans who make their living here recycling plastic, metal charcoal and even scavenging for food either for themselves or for their pigs. The average adult here earns about 150 -200 Kenyan shillings (£1-1.30) The consequences for those who work here on a regular basis including woman and children as young as 7 is  tough; with disease, injury, substance abuse and even the threat of violence an everyday reality.

  • Activists met at Waterloo Station before heading to off to catch a train to Stratford le-Hope in Essex. Most of the activists had no idea where the direct action was going to take place, only on the train was this tightly guarded secret told to them. Here activists make their way from Monument to Fenchurch Street train station, still unaware of their final destination far outside of London.<br />

  • Ducks are kept on top of chickens in terrible conditions at a wet market in central Shanghai on Renmin Lu (Rd.) and Fangbang Lu.

  • An elderly man shields his eyes from bright light while walking along Piccadilly in late afternoon sunshine. Holding his hand across his eyes, the man walks westwards along this fashionable shopping street from Piccadilly Circus in the direction of Hyde Park Corner. He seemingly walks alongside a younger woman and many other commuters are heading the same way, all walking or about to pause at the bus stops along this street that will take them home or in the direction of Victoria Station. The picture is shot from a low angle and the subjects are unaware of all but their direction, pace and eagerness to reach home.

  • Three teenage girls are lost in the world of smartphone apps and messaging, in Trafalgar Square. While in a very busy environment, the capital's main square in central London, the teenagers obsessively tweet and message their friends at home, completely unaware of their surroundings, absorbed in the functions of their devices and their young lives. Sitting on the walls of the fountains, they are isolated from each other and the noise around them. In the backgrounds are tourists enjoying the architecture and ambience of a busy city.

  • Household refuse pollutes a coral beach on Meedu Island, an indigenous community in the Republic of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. Packaging, foodstuffs and general waste has been tossed away on this otherwise beautiful place, north of the capital Male. Unfortunately, the practice of tossing away one's rubbish is a normal practice in this culture, the local people selfishly unconcerned about the future of their habitat and the health of their community. Only a few miles from Meedu are islands that serve as holiday resorts where families from Europe travel by air for the perffect vacation - unaware that fly-tipping is so widespread that it threatens this nation's worldwide status as a paradise on earth.

  • A gentleman client has a fitting for a new made-to-measure suit, seen through a City taylor's window. Feeling under the arm of his client, the taylor makes sure his measurements are correct before making final adjustments for the final garment. Hanging in the shop are other suits and jackets, awaiting buyers. But outside are two people unaware as they pass the shop window, walking through a narrow medieval lane, a backstreet in the City of London, the capital's financial heart, founded by the Romans in 43AD.

  • A man sits unnoticed on the roof of a mobile phone provider kiosk at Elephant & Castle in the south London borough of Lambeth. We see the scene unfolding from the upper deck of a red London bus as it stops at a nearby bus stop at this major road junction south of the river. Oddly, the man sits on the roof looking relaxed and unconcerned. Below him, pedestrians pass underneath his gaze, unaware of his presence.

  • From the darkened room of Coventry council's CCTV control room, we see six screens that show various locations around the city centre. Some car parks, a stair well, and some views of a shopping precinct. In some the landscapes are empty of people and in others, there are citizens and passers-by all going about their business and all unaware that their movements are being watched by the authority's camera operators and security personnel. The middle camera dates the camera pictures as 24th May 1999 when Coventry was the most-watched city in Britain. The council controversially maintains it deters petty crime but the population disagrees, saying it is obtrusive and symptomatic of an Orwellian police state.

  • A father chases a runaway tyre (tire) along the wet sand before it crashes into the man's young child, otherwise unaware of the impending impact. Chasing the object is the priority on this winter day at Whitley Bay, a North-Eastern English seaside town. The beach is dark and it has been raining but father and child are enjoying the freedom and common bond during this outdoor game. Waves of the icy North Sea crash onto the seafront and the child is preoccupied with the force of nature and the exhilaration of being outside in the cold.
