  • Neighbours hold an informal meeting under Islamic murals in a street of the village of Bairat on the West Bank of Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt. Many of these people are dependent of the tourism industry and therefore badly affected by the downturn. According to the country's Ministry of Tourism, European visitors to Egypt is down by up to 80% in 2016 from the suspension of flights after the downing of the Russian airliner in Oct 2015. Euro-tourism accounts for 27% of the total flow and in total, tourism accounts for 11.3% of Egypt's GDP so communities like this are suffering economically, as a result.

  • The soon to disappear market at Elephant & Castle shopping centre in the London borough of Southwark. Its demise will be welcome to many locals who see Elephant as an inner-city ghetto though gentrification at the expense of affordable housing provokes others to protest. Lend Lease is working in partnership with Southwark Council to deliver a £1.5 billion regeneration project in Elephant & Castle. Over the next ten years, we will build nearly 3,000 new homes, over 50 shops and restaurants, and a brand new park. The Elephant & Castle redevelopment is integral to Southwark’s wider regeneration plan, which includes the creation of a new pedestrianised town centre, market square, 5,000 new and replacement homes, approximately 500,000 square feet of retail and leisure space, an integrated public transport hub and five green spaces.

  • Two 1960s housewives and mothers stand in sunshine on the front porch of their council house. The two women stand smiling for a portrait by an amateur photographer in 1963. Alongside them is a hanging basket of flowers that is suspended in the porch. This post-war image whows a confidence and prosperity among the working class and the ladies wear bright, white clothing that is well-washed and laundered at a time when a growing disposable income was an asset to families being offered domestic products to help improve their everyday lives. The picture was recorded on a film camera by the boy's father, an amateur photographer in 1964. The picture shows us a memory of nostalgia in an era from the last century.

Here they remember the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day on 6th May 1995. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany and peace was announced to tumultuous crowds across European cities, the British still go out of their way to honour those sacrificed and the realisation that peace was once again achieved. Street parties now – as they did in 1945 – played a large part in the country’s patriotic well-being.

  • As evening light fades, campers who are relaxing in the awning of their caravan are having a sociable time with friends. Their table has drinks and an outdoor campers' light and we see through the open flap of their awning at a caravan site at Looe in Devon, England. Other vehicles can be seen in the distance, all lined up against the hedged-border of this field, run by the prestigious Caravan Club of Great Britain whose membership stands around 1 million members. Formed in 1907 the club boasts over 900 staff and an annual turnover of around £100 million. Rules about pitching vans and how to behave with waste, children and noise are strictly controlled and often, sites specialise more for families with kids or for older people wanting more peace.

  • Soon after setting sail from Miami, en-route to Cancun in Mexico, passengers of Carnival Cruise's Fun Ship Ecstasy liner are told to report on the top sun deck for the obligatory safety drill. Told to fetch their life vests from their respective cabins and suites, they have gathered at various muster points around the vessel to hear the crews' instructions about abandoning ship or the precuations needed to enter the water. We look down from a higher deck to see several dozen tourists on red vests, milling around awaiting the signal to return to their previous activities and entertainment. Operators like US-owned Carnival take these drills very seriously. Carnival was a pioneer in the concept of cheaper and shorter cruises. Its ships are known for their Las Vegas decor and entertainment. The cruise line calls its ships The Fun Ships and the MS Ecstasy is a Fantasy class cruise ship featuring two pools, whirlpools, a variety of dining options, nightclubs, a casino, and duty-free shopping. After Hurricane Katrina, she spent six months in New Orleans serving as quarters for refugees and relief workers. She suffered heavy damage in 1998 after the laundry room in the ship's stern caught fire damaging much of her stern and aft section.

  • Low-budget east London housing and the 2012 Olympic stadium that dominates the end of a street of a nearby estate. Locals make their way up the road with the enormous arena behind that will hold 80,000. In a few months the world's attention will focus on the sports and personalities of athletes, financed by the UK's already struggling economy. Much has been reported over the legacy of such a mammoth project, the largest of urban parks created in Europe for more than 150 years built during a worldwide recession. Londoners were originally promised free event tickets but communities like this are largely excluded from the games.

  • Pennents and bunting on the village green at Horning, a tourist village on the Norfolk Broads. Locals and tourists alike, relax in afternoon summer sunshine as the bunting flutters above heads. Horning is an ancient village and parish in the English county of Norfolk. Horning means the "folk who live on the high ground between the rivers". Its history dates back to 1020 when the manor was given by King Canute to the newly founded Abbey of St. Benet at Hulme. Horning is picturesque, and described as the prettiest village on the broads.

  • "I love Lambeth because .." post-it notes express an affection for south Londoners' home borough, left on a country show noticeboard. Pink heart-shaped stickers tell the viewer how much they appreciate life in this inner-city region of the capital where crime is a major negative aspect of living here. Many reasons are written by children whose optimism seems untainted.

  • A female Italian cyclist pedals along a graffiti-lined street near Florence's Piazza Santa Croce. With the words 'I Love Weed' that refers to the popularity and merits of cannabis, the graffiti of other tags and assorted writings can be seen stretching into the distance where a family have passed-by and are continuing their journey towards their home to the east of the city.

  • Looking across south London towards Edwardian homes and block of flats in the darkness of the suburbs. It is late one evening in central London, in a suburb known as Herne Hill, SE24 in the borough of Lambeth. We see across the metropolis from quiet and expensive period homes, whose owners would typically be white middle-class, across to the blocks of flats (apartments) in the Loughborough Estate, a far rougher location for street gangs and high crime rates. Owners' cars are parked under streetlights and ash trees and lights shine out from living rooms and bedrooms.

  • Accompanied by a pianist, south Londoners sit outside their rail station on whose wall is a screening of the silent film Easy Street starring a former local boy, Charlie Chaplin, kicking off a series of the Free Film Festival in Herne Hill in the London borough of Lambeth. There is no official record of his birth although Chaplin believed he was born at East Street in nearby Walworth. Chaplin's childhood was fraught with poverty and hardship, making his eventual trajectory ‘the most dramatic of all the rags to riches stories ever told’. Easy Street is a 1917 short comedy. In the film, the police are failing to maintain law and order and so it is Chaplin, as the Little Tramp character, who steps forward (rather reluctantly) to rid the street of bullies, help the poor, save women from madmen and generally keep the peace.

  • With home-made placards above their heads, locals of the South Darenth - Horton Kirby in rural Kent, protest in Trafalgar Square against the forthcoming Channel Tunnel rail link in 1989. British Rail announced that 150mph TGV trains would travel through their rural Kent countryside, forcing residents to sell their homes within a 240 metre corridor to the rail line, at great loss while splitting up the community.

  • An elderly lady resident of a tower block, watches the outside world from her high-rise window, overlooking the Middlesex Estate in the City of London. A window box with geraniums is by the glass and she peeers down to a bleak urban estate, empty of human contact or friendly neighbours. She lives alone in this grim place but she is looking after herself showing brushed hair , a lace top and lipstick. The world outside is a depressingly empty landscape of concrete walkways and garage doors, an inner-city environment devoid of human interaction or friendliness.

  • Half-way across the Gulf of Mexico, between Miami and Cancun in Mexico, Carnival Cruise's Fun Ship Ecstasy's passengers are on the Sun deck to enjoy the first few days sailing on the tropical seas. One of the ship's photographers has passed around a ship's circular life ring buoy through which one busty blonde lady has posed for a photograph and is about to pass it on to her nearest neighbour. She is wearing a garish pink and yellow bikini and is holding the life-saving device so that only her breasts are showing, obscuring her face. We see the name of the ship, Ecstasy, around the ring and the plastic ropes are falling on the lady's cleavage, forming circles around her bosoms. In the background, another cruise traveller (traveler) wears a straw sun hat and is also sitting on a blue sun lounger. We see exposed, tanned skin and it looks baking hot with the tropical sun at its zenith, directly overhead at mid-day. Carnival was a pioneer in the concept of cheaper and shorter cruises. Its ships are known for their Las Vegas decor and entertainment. The line calls its ships The Fun Ships. The MS Ecstasy is a Fantasy class cruise ship featuring two pools, whirlpools, a variety of dining options, nightclubs, a casino, and duty-free shopping. After Hurricane Katrina, she spent six months in New Orleans serving as quarters for refugees and relief workers. She suffered heavy damage in 1998 after the laundry room in the ship's stern caught fire damaging much of her stern and aft section.

  • Emma and Martin are a young professional couple living in the experimental community village of Poundbury, Dorset, England. Sitting in their landscaped rear garden the married couple have their portrait taken against a high concrete wall that serves as their property's back boundary. The roofs of neighbouring homes appear over this partition and young tree saplings are fastened to a stake. Poundbury is the visionary model village that the Charles, Prince of Wales sought to develop in 1993 as a successful and pioneering town near Dorchester, built on land owned by his own Duchy of Cornwall, challenging otherwise poor post-war trends in town planning and to some extent following the New Urbanism concept from the US except that the design influences are European.

  • The Victorian Fieldgate Street Synagogue next door to the construction site of the new East London Mosque in east London. In a scene of friendship and a spirit of multi-faiths in this area of east London which was once a mainly Jewish neighbourhood but nowadays, since the rise in immigration from south Asia and the middle-east, is now predominantly Muslim and home to many local mosques and Islamic centres. It is a symbol of inter-denominational integration that such religions can live side by side.

  • A group of young Nepali children stand on the terrace of a small hut where they live in the village of Rip in the Gorkha district of central Nepal, one of the 75 districts of modern Nepal. The kids gaze into many directions while two village elders attend to domestic chores in the dirt. Beyond them, we see snow capped peaks of Himalayan mountains. Gorkha has lent its name to the Gurkha soldier, from where young teenage boys are typically recruited for service into the British army, a tradition that goes back to the Indian Mutiny of 1857

  • Seen from behind, two young boys are busy writing their graffiti tags on windows on a London underground tube train, during an overland section of the capital’s rail system near Ladbroke Grove. Armed with heavy-duty semi-permanent marker pens, they lads are committing the crime of defacement and criminal damage to London Underground property, a persistent problem that costs the transport company network up to £3 million a year to remove. Partitions and glass are being scribbled on with their unique identity signatures used by kids of this age to leave as a mark of their presence, like animals instinctively leave a scent on a street corner. If caught, juvenile delinquents like these may escape with only a caution because of their age but older ones are prosecuted, though some times after leaving many thousands of tags across their neighbourhood.

  • An elderly lady watches the world go by from her street doorway in Lisbon's Bica district of the Portuguese capital. Looking out from her cosy small home that open out on to the narrow street, the old woman looks thoughtful, reflecting on her life perhaps spent in the same quarter of the Portguese capital. Lisbon's Bica district is a steep gradient area of narrow streets more peaceful and atmospheric than other busier locations where cars and trams make wider roads noisier. Flights of steps dissect the quarter which remains largely unspoilt.

  • Five customers are seated in the window of the Manhattan Coffee Company on Shaftesbury Avenue, in London's Chinatown. 3 of the 5 are of Chinese ethnicity, one is talking on a mobile phone and the other two seem to be girlfriends. To their left is a man in deep thought but in front of every person there are red beakers. It is a successful shop with plenty of customers. The interior lighting is orange and red, making a cosy and welcoming atmosphere and two large signs in English indicate there are 30 more seats downstairs allowing more to spend their money and for more business to be made.

  • Seen through the window of an amusement arcade in London's Gerrard Street, Chinatown, we see the colourful neon lights that garishly shine from behind the glass. Beyond is the hustle and bustle of daily life in this famous street of London's Chinese community. We are slightly confused as to what is inside and what is out. We see the Georgian architecture reflected from behind and to the left is a slot-machine game called Hi-Roller which suggests the use of dice in this gambling activity. Passers-by can be seen outside, making their way past the many restaurants and businesses. In the middle of the scene is a yellow sign positioned by the Metropolitan Police warning against pickpockets as this area of the West End is known for petty crime.

  • Two businessmen of Asian descent have stopped at a bar in the City of London  and are seated by the window in Cannon Street, near St Paul's Cathedral, England. They both have a similar skin tones and are equally smart in dark suits and ties. The male on the left cradles a pint of beer while other's drink is a half-pint of either lager or perhaps apple juice. They both look successful and confident about their friendship or business dealings as they share a joke or swap stories about their lives. They wear sun glasses against the late, strong sunshine but the background has gone dark because the sun has illuminated only their faces and chests. It is a picture of confidence, success and humour.

  • A young family walk gloomily past property Sold signs in a street at Grays, Essex England. Passing the prominent signs that bear the name of Quirk Deakin, a local estate agent in the industrial towns of south Essex and the Thames Gateway, is the location for dramatic increases of new housing developments. Both the parents and their daughter look depressed in this time of economic recession, when families are having their homes repossessed after defaulting on mortgage repayments. It is a bright summer day in Grays, east of the capital, just outside of the M25 orbital motorway and on the Thames river.

  • Setting sun with jogger in Ruskin Park in the borough of Lambeth, south London. Ruskin Park, Denmark Hill, SE24 (its post code) is a beautiful green space in this inner-city suburban district of Britain's capital, approximately 5 miles south from the River Thames. The jogger paces past the image as the sun sets against period homes of the Edwardian era, the age of innovative building in the new 20th Century. The properties overlook the borough park named after John Ruskin, the renowned artist and commentator who lived in nearby Herne Hill. It looks an affluent area, a prosperous location to invest in a mortgage in uncertain times with market prices falling during the credit crunch and recession.

  • Seen from a mid-level of the Eiffel Tower, we are looking down on the 15th arrondissement of Paris. Before us are the rooftops of apartment buildings in one of the 20 arrondissements (administrative districts) of the capital city of France. Just adjacent of the Rive Gauche (left bank) of the River Seine and sharing the Montparnasse district with the 6th and 14th arrondissements, it is the city's most populous arrondissement with an area of 8.5 sq km (3.3 sq miles, or 2,101 acres). Many have lead or zinc roofs that are seen as grey material on the tops of these urban homes. It’s so bright that some residents have lowered blinds to keep glare out of their cool rooms that overlook other parts of Paris, its trees and curved, narrow streets.

  • An aerial view of a completely uninhabited, deserted island seen from a regional aircraft passing overhead atolls and islands, an hour's flying time north of Malé, capital of the Indian Ocean Republic of the Maldives. We see the perfectly clear blue sea surrounding a tiny flat island of white coral beach sand, ringing tropical vegetation and scrub that is in jeopardy to rising sea levels as global warming makes sea level locations like this vulnerable to flooding. The Maldives comprise of twenty-six atolls, featuring 1,192 coral islands of which 80 are holiday resorts with 200 inhabited by indigenous communities. This Islamic nation of 298 sq km (115 sq miles), lie seven hundred kilometres (435 miles) south-west of Sri Lanka.

  • A lone male figure makes his way along a corridor of power in the newly-opened European Parliament building in Brussels, Belgium. As the new head-quarters of the EU and an administrative home to the Members of European Parliament (MEPs), it is a contemporary architectural symbol of infuence and modernity. We see the man walking towards an open atrium. The viewer can see three floors though there are many more out of sight and on two of the levels there are TV screens with the stars denoting the number of member states at that time. The interior is grid-like with warm and inviting lighting, making for a productive environment in which office workers can feel comfortable when dealing with European political business.
