PIL - Photography In London - Meetup and Workshops

I’m delighted to share some exciting news: my first travel photobook has just been published. It is now available in digital format (link to e-copy - launch price of GBP 5.00), with a paperback edition coming very soon.

In the summer of 2025, I spent three weeks wandering through the soul of France— from the poetic symmetry of Parisian boulevards to the salt-kissed walls of Saint-Malo, and into the gentle greens and quiet charm of Vernon-Giverny in Normandy. Each stop on this journey felt like a page out of a film script: unfolding in real time, yet touched by the timelessness of memory.

This book is, at its heart, a visual diary. It is a quiet celebration of places that invite pause, light that breathes emotion, and colours that echo the past. My photographic approach draws deeply from the language of analogue film—rich, textured, and contemplative. The images are not about chasing perfection, but about evoking a feeling: of warmth, intimacy, and cinematic stillness.

France, with its layered history and everyday elegance, offered the perfect canvas for this vision. From the golden hush of a Parisian afternoon to the misty romance of a boat moored beneath turning leaves, or the playful quiet of a picnic in the Marais, each frame tells a small story—unrushed, unfiltered, and deeply personal.

This is more than just a collection of photographs. It is an invitation to slow down and to look closer—not only at the grand landmarks, but also at the spaces in between. The quiet corners. The morning light. The fleeting glances. The unscripted moments that, when gathered together, become a season of travel—on film, and in memory.

I’m delighted to share the publication of my Richmond travel photobook, now available in digital format (launch version priced GBP5.00 - Link to the digital download) and soon in paperback. Instead of turning my lens toward the vastness of London, I chose to focus on one of its most iconic suburbs—Richmond upon Thames. Nestled on a gentle bend of the Thames, it is a place where history, nature, and timeless charm converge.

From the lively bustle of Richmond Bridge to the quiet meadows of Petersham, the stately elegance of Marble Hill House to the lush expanse of Kew Gardens, Richmond offers a rare blend of elegance and tranquillity.

This collection of photographs captures the essence of Richmond not as a passing moment, but as something enduring—a landscape of soft light, gentle colours, and cinematic calm. Inspired by the aesthetics of film photography, the images invite you to wander slowly, to pause by the river, and to notice the quiet poetry in between.

Richmond has long been a muse for painters, poets, and travellers. In these pages, it reveals itself once more—through a lens that seeks not only to document, but to evoke.
