Malta’s Magic.

Malta – the destination for our summer break in 2019 – was a pretty spontaneous decision. In the end we were swayed by the hotel itself: formally a historical landmark and now a beautifully renovated retreat, designed by architect by Edwin Mintoff.

Picturesque Porto.

It’s been an intense eight months of work on the cabin and our last getaway was at the start of the school summer holidays so it is fair to say that collectively we were ready for a change of scenery.

Wabi-sabi is the celebration of the imperfection. Given the very nature of the cabin – a humble timber-built 1930's structure – this felt like the most appropriate, sensitive and gentle approach to the interior design.

Week 13. Going backwards to go forwards.

Over the last 13 weeks I’ve been documenting in still and moving images the progress of the work at the Water Cabin. My intention is to produce a short video showing the various stages of the build and the journey we've taken.

Slowing living in Île de Ré.

Île de Ré is a special place. An Atlantic island, off the south west coast of France, it is just 30km long and accessed by a sweeping bridge.

My gear.

Whilst I have a fixed base in the city, being a photographer means, quite literally, the world is my studio.
