Dreamy skies, a 23rd birthday celebrated in hospital, humid mornings by the pool, floral bouquets, date nights via video-calls, hours in the library and smile-stained faces on holidays. Over the last few weeks, I've also found solace in solitude; studying new languages, enrolling myself into courses and reading myself into somewhat of a recluse. Albeit…
Scenery and stories, traditions and tales, people and pinnacles. Welcome to the Scottish Highlands.
By lens and by line, this is life on film. March: a season of new beginnings and a time for change. Our coats get lighter, the bluebells blossom and the sky stays bright past 4pm. The seasons are rotating, and so are our moods. We're shyly, but surely, claiming back the day and savouring each…
This is what I know to be true. Portugal is the oldest country in Europe, Pastel de Nata's are humankind's greatest invention, sunsets by the sea can truly soothe the soul and 2pm is a great time to get drunk by yourself in a port cellar. A sweet sunshine escape, an expedition of one's own,…
Ilford XP2, 27 shot-exposure in B&W film. £8.99 from Boots. 'You're probably the only person I know who would still buy something like that.' says my work colleague as we spend our lunch wandering around the Kew Retail Park. 'Maybe. But there is something cool about blindly shooting a moment, forgetting about it, and then…
"Who would have thought? You, me, Bella and Barcelona in the winter of 2019. Who would have thought?" The three of us are nestled into the back of a taxi, en route from El Prat Airport Terminal 2 to Plaça de Catalunya. We're driving northeast, parallel to the Mediterranean Sea coastline. It's a Friday afternoon, circa 1…
A capital steeped in history, medieval mysteries and baroque architecture, Prague wins the game of the gothic thrones. Crowned as the world's best preserved Medieval city, Prague feels like an untouched movie set, starring a melodrama romance and a little beheading. A grand Prague Castle and St Vitus Cathedral is decorated in haunting gargoyle heads;…
True to the title, and conquered in hours no more or no less, I visited the great Scotts for a rendezvous with history. Take my lens and checklist as reference points as I fast-track you through the gothic, compact and hilly capital of Edinburgh. Climbed Calton Hill Stood opposite Arthur King’s Seat – a 200 million…
A fleeting weekend of being drunk on the Irish accent, hunting for leprechauns, celebrity spotting the Pope, dancing in Temple Bar and perusing Trinity College. Add whiskey tasting at the Jameson Distillery, ogling at bog bodies and walking miles on bridges, parks and castle roads to the itinerary, and you've got yourself a roll of…
Lavender. The smell of my grandmother's sheets, motel toilet fresheners, garnishes in gin and those odd handmade lavender bags that Aunt Kathy has somewhere in her bedroom draw. Travelling to its natural habitat in Mayfield, we ventured out to see the organic lavender growers on the Surrey Downs. A humble £2 entry fee will get you endless…
