Piccadilly was chock-a-block with roadworks which inspired me to look up.

I must give their interior decorators a call. This would look great in my living room.

Getting a bride into her wedding dress is surprisingly tricky. My advice to future brides is to have a couple of practice sessions with your bridesmaids.

Lit by a spotlight on the ceiling (just above where I'm standing).

And now the same spotlight is used to rimlight them.

This was a challenging room to shoot in. Light was streaming in through the windows and backgrounds were very busy.

Flash bounced in from the right.

Although offered a cup this young chap preferred to drink from the tray. And why not?
