Quirky picture stories, shot in the UK.
Stapled to village halls and sheltered by bus stops, Britain’s noticeboards are accidental group exhibitions of parish politics, lost cats and cake sales. We went on a photo tour of the cork, the biro corrections and the wonderfully unhinged typography that holds local life together.
Knitted toppers, children's drawings and handwritten notices are turning rural bus stops into hyper-local exhibition spaces. We went to wait for a bus and found a curatorial revolution instead.
The week after 5 November is when Britain's bonfires leave behind accidental sculptures: charred guys, melted fairy lights and fairgrounds with rain in the seats. We set an alarm and went looking at first light, before the sweepers arrived.
A close-up photo tour of Britain's most over-engineered, eccentric and oddly emotional door knockers — from roaring lions and polished brass hands to one deeply unimpressed duck in Devon. Expect miniature street theatre, homeowner stories and a light-hearted field guide to the nation's front doors.
Meet the gardeners turning ordinary hedges into dinosaurs, teapots and slightly alarming family pets — and discover how to photograph green sculpture in flat British light without it looking like a shrub with ambitions. A patient, image-led celebration of eccentric topiary across the UK.
Humming tubes, drum windows glowing like portholes and a noticeboard written in biro: Britain's surviving launderettes are quiet theatres with the lights already on. A photo tour of the brightest signs and the best washing-machine choreography, from seaside towns to city suburbs.
Between the last bus and the first gull, a British multi-storey car park quietly turns into a film set nobody booked. We spent a winter roaming ramps, stairwells and top decks with a tripod — here is what we found, plus how to shoot concrete, neon and mist without getting moved on.
A photo-led poke around the UK homes, sheds and spare rooms where owl clocks, tea towels and car-boot ceramics have quietly taken over. We meet four collectors, photograph the strangest treasures and ask why owl-themed clutter feels so comforting, comic and very British.
A affectionate photographic wander through the UK's miniature towns, from Bekonscot to back-garden railways. Expect impossible terraces, tiny pub signs and practical tips for shooting model streets without looking like a clumsy giant.
A November photo essay from the front gardens that peak early, with owners who plan in January, neighbours with mixed reviews and extension leads that could double as tripwires. Shoot it as an affectionate portrait of British eccentricity, not a sneer.
A photo-led tour of the red phone boxes that refused to become nostalgia props, from village book exchanges and miniature galleries to a defibrillator cabinet and one gloriously over-dressed disco box. Practical shooting notes included, and not a sepia filter in sight.
From a brooding stone hoot in Leeds to a salt-sprayed mosaic in Llandudno, we've ranked ten owl sculptures that deserve a spot on your camera roll. Each entry comes with its origin story and a phone-camera tip — plus a plea for your local owl sightings.
Our latest Owl's Pics shoot took Edward Lear's famous poem to the Kent coast with charity-shop props, paper cutouts and one extremely calm seagull. Here's how we staged the whole thing on a shoestring — and how you can do it yourself.
