The pictures below – were taken at the rather lovely wedding of Christina and Michael at Eshott Hall. The light at Eshott Hall is …

Above, you see high level discussions between Mark, the …

Light is the same wherever you go, isn’t it ? well . . . not quite . . . If you imagine that you are on a beach in Barbados, the sun is staring down on you from a deep blue sky, bouncing off white sand, creating dark shadows and intense colours. Or imagine that you are standing in the middle of a British town, on a cold day, with an overcast sky, there is …
