wild wood anemones during lockdown

This week’s photograph is of wild wood anemones shot around the time that the UK was going into lockdown. Each of us must find our own way through these disorienting, anxious, sad times. For me, my saving grace has been to walk out my door and be reminded that everything else in the natural world is just the same, it is only our human world that is changed almost beyond recognition.

The sun shines, birds sing and flowers bloom as spring goes into full swing around us. I find this very reassuring.

You can find more of my landscape photographs of our wondrous natural world here.

Please get in touch if you have a workplace, an event, a celebration, a portrait or a building project you would like to have photographed.

For the summer solstice, I give you flowers

For the summer solstice, I give you flowers

I like using the ability of photography to show worlds that are often hidden from view. I do this when documenting building projects that are obscured from the public by hoardings, or when photographing work environments and private events.

In a completely different way, photography can record situations that we can’t physically see with our eyes. For example, recently I was visiting my friend’s allotment when she was watering her roses.

My camera was able to catch a moment of calm and stillness within the chaos of the water spray. I felt like it almost gave me a little peak into the secret lives of flowers.

If you would like me to capture with my camera worlds that are important to you, please get in touch. More of my landscape photographs can be found here.

The flower bus has arrived

The flower bus has arrived

A bus made of flowers. To me, a lover of both flowers and public transport, this is a perfect combination! A scaled replica of a double decker bus covered in real flowers was wheeled into the centre of Lewes one Friday morning – in the middle of the road, along with other traffic, of course. The wooden structure was constructed off

site, followed by a labour-intensive two days of work by florists Katie and Becky before the flower bus was ready to roll. I could not resist photographing this quirky, colourful project. You can see more photographs of celebrations here. The bus was commissioned by our local bus company as part of the Lewes Artwave Festival of artists and makers.

Death by flowers

Death by flowers

From purple woodlands full of bluebells to golden fields of rape flowers, the Sussex landscape is covered in vibrant colours at this time of year. Currently, there are great swathes of agricultural land carpeted in these deep yellow flowers, the seeds of which produce the prized Sussex rape seed oil.

This shot was planned with my husband, who wanted to see if we could get a photo of someone drowning in flowers. Are the hands asking to be saved from death by blossom or are they surrendering to the joy of golden bliss? I truly don’t know. More landscape photographs can be found here.
