At a borrel the other night I met the brilliant Robin Pascoe who invited me to do an interview for their Dutch News 10 Questions feature on their website; dutchnews.nl. The results are below! With a few extra photos for illustration purposes … I can’t help myself! I am a photographer after all. Background info Name:…
Benjamin Arthur – Clients I remember my old days in the agency. Every credentials presentation we’d have to put together a logo soup of our current clients & brands. I never did one of these for my photography business … until now. And I am so blessed to be able to call every single one…
In this season of Remembrance we Brits not only are thinking about the fallen in the First World war and all subsequent wars but also, for the 5th November, we remember the Gunpowder plot. Each year now I cover the British Society of Amsterdam’s big night celebrating Guy Fawkes Night. There are sparklers, spectacular fireworks,…
This beautiful couple celebrated their 1st anniversary recently and, as a present, Matt gave Laura a 2 hour walkabout session.

As always happens during the glorious long weeks of early June we are having some fabulous blue evenings in Amsterdam right now. This is when the canals look their very very best and when I am not busy editing, I like to hit the streets with my tripod. Here are a few I took during…
One of many fun events that I cover as the official photographer of the British Society in Amsterdam is their Blind Date Night. Whilst not always successful on the romantic front, its always a huge amount of fun for everyone who takes part.
During the preparations for last week’s Pritzker Architecture Prize ceremony, honoring the extraordinary work of Shigeru Ban I found myself alone, for just a few moments, in the NightWatch Gallery of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
