I celebrated my birthday this month. Just a few days beforehand, my mum received this incredible video of her, my father and uncles performing in their flying trapeze act. The year? 1983. She flew through the air with – as you can see around the one minute mark – a great deal

Some pics after the jump from an intense, fun couple of days shooting in Belfast for the March-April issue of Image Interiors & Living. The piece was all about the exciting things going on in the Belfast food scene, so we got to criss cross the city shooting (and, em,

A few shots from a barbecue-themed food shoot for the Garden Heaven 2015 annual. The piece that accompanies these shots features great tips on easy-to-grow herbs, edible flowers and mouth-watering recipes – like these roasted stuffed figs with Parma ham, above.
