I've travelled to India many times, but have never been to the far north region of Ladakh at high altitude and in the shadow of the world's second highest mountain K2. My love for India is the light and the people photography. It's always been amazing for me and some of my favourite images have come from India. From Jodhpur, Delhi, Mumbai and the south in Kerala and the tea plantations central India the light has always been incredible, so I really did not know what to expect

I've returned from another trip to Old Delhi and thankfully a day before the unrest in Iran effected all flights in the middle east. I love old Delhi and the Chandni Chowk area and in my opinion as someone who enjoys street photography and people portraits, it really is a magical place, especially around sunset or dawn when the light is just magical. On this trip I stayed at the Haveli Dharampura right in the heart of Chandni Chowk. It is an award winning UNESCO Heritage buil

This is the final blog post about my January trip to the north of Iceland. In parts 1 and 2 I posted about the two halves of the trip, firstly to the Herring fishing town of Siglufjorddur at the very northern tip of Iceland looking across to Greenland, and secondly to Lake Mývatn and it's volcanic wonders. In this final part I wanted to say a few words about the wild and dangerous nature of Iceland in the winter, and about not biting off more than you can chew and respecting

The second half of our trip to northern Iceland was after we had visited Siglufjorddur (see Part 1 blog post). I had wanted to see the highly volcanic area around Mývatn Lake for a long time and finally had the opportunity last week. The explosion crater of Hverfjall, the pseudocraters of Skùtustaôagígar, the boiling mud pools at Hverir and the lava field of Dimmuborgir were sights I'd wanted to photograph for a long time, and to do so in mid winter freezing ice and snow was

We have just returned from a magnificent trip to photograph in the northern part of Iceland in January, the middle of winter. Having never been to northern Iceland before we decided to break the trip into two parts. The first half was taking the road north from Akurereyri to Siglufjorddur before venturing inland to photograph the highly volcanic area around Myvatn Lake. This part will tell you a little about the part of our journey up to Siglufjorddur. After collecting a Toyo

It was a joy to head to Germany this week for a couple of days photographing the traditional Christmas Markets. First of all we enjoyed an evening at the Stuttgart Christmas Market, and then the following day a trip to nearby Esslingen to enjoy one of the most beautiful and unspoilt towns in the whole of Germany. The Stuttgart Christmas Market is one of the oldest (and largest) in all Germany. Dating back to the 17th century with hundreds of stalls spread out around the main

It will soon be time for our January deep winter trip to northern Iceland. I have been to Iceland before in winter, but last time it was to the south and a road trip along the south coast and I've included a few images from that trip in this blog post. This time however, I am planning on going to the far north to an area I have never been to before, but understand that it is incredible in winter. One thing I do know from past experience is that planning is essential. Many tou
