It might have been raining and a bit dark last weekend however nothing could stop residents in my village turn on the Christmas Lights. I love Christmas time and photographing local communities and traditional events so I grabbed my camera to photograph the event.

I Love Photography! It's official, there you go. I've said it. I love a photo that tells a story, a photo that makes you think or enables you to experience something new. I'm always taking photos, I guess I'm a little obsessive. Even if I don't have my camera with me I'm using my iPhone. But it's not just about taking the photo that I enjoy. It's about meeting new people, talking, learning and discovering new things. I watch and listen. I talk and ask questions trying to find the story!

However much it rains and the wind blows, I don't think I would like to live without the different seasons of the year. Even though the days are so much shorter in autumn, the light can be great to work with.

Preston Park Velodrome in Brighton is the oldest cycle track in the UK and was built in 1877. I was surprised when I first heard about it as I have covered many photo assignments in Brighton over the years but for some reason never heard of the track. Researching it further and discovering its history I soon decided that it would make a great photo project. And so one lovely Autumn's day in October I visited the track whilst a charity cycling event called 'Pedal In Preston Park' was being held.

Happy Halloween! This year I had an idea. What if a character from a horror movie did a fashion photo shoot? Taking inspiration from cult horror movies and blending in the look of a high end urban fashion photography shoot my concept was born.,,,,, You are going to love these photos!

Littlehampton Traditional Bonfire Night and Torchlight Procession dates back 62 years and attracts thousands of people to the seaside town in West Sussex. It is a celebration of the anniversary of the overthrow of the attempt by Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspirators to blow up the King and Parliament on 5th November 1605. I have covered the event many times before when I was a local newspaper photographer, however this year I wanted to capture the people that take part. 

The Messham brothers, Jake and Junior are fifth generation wall and globe of death riders. I met the guys whilst photographing a motorcycle event in Brighton and managed to persuade them into posing for a photograph.

It's early autumn and as the days draw shorter, the countryside around me is turning a beautiful golden colour. A recent search to find a local commercial apple orchard lead me to the Apple Day at Slindon in West Sussex. With a traditional rack and cloth oak cider press, called 'Big Bertha', being used and lots of apples, I spent the day taking photos of the traditional applying pressing process.
