This was the last in a series about people who have created interesting spaces in apartments or other essentially non commercial spaces. Flora’s kind if stretches this conceit a little because the actual space is an outhouse at the bottom of her garden. I was late in photographing this place because it was still being…

Ana Lombard runs an alternative health studio called Enlace. I went there on a rainy day somewhat preoccupied with certain things and also trying to sort out a long trip to Buenos Aires. She knew I was in an odd frame of mind and had a lovely calming manner, which soon put me at my ease…

This was my third shoot for the proposed article on people who have businesses set up in their own Apts or have converted a private residence to such an end. Damian’s place is of the latter kind, a lovely building in the L’Example barrio of Barcelona. He has a rather select and prestigious clientele, one…

This was my second shoot about people who have their business’s in either their homes or private apartments. I had heard about Joan’s place a year or 2 before when a friend had shot a video there for a fashion TV slot and when Olga, who is now writing the story, mentioned another  cool place…

I have known Dany for quite a few months. We both go to the same boxing training class, run by Andrea Wheatley, who I got to know after photographing her for a magazine, that is another story you can read here, just click on the link. Anyway, Dany is a really nice guy and he…

Los Galgos is Spanish for greyhounds and SOS Galgos is an organisation run by Anna Clement, from the veterinary practice she manages for her husband. The story of what really happens to greyhounds bred for sport is pretty sad; they are usually ‘put down’ after 2-3 years of racing. I recommend going to the site…

I was looking forward to this shoot as I fully expected there to be a chance to get some action shots, which makes a change from the more common portrait photos this job requires. I have in mind a couple of projects as well where I want to work with people in dynamic, athletic situations…

A possible interview piece, Britt got access to a motorbike shop Aprimoto because the owner (Josep Acriz) is a friend, he was also very helpful and patient, so a big thank you is merited. Britt has ridden and raced professionally for many years and is considering doing some more now she is living here. She…

This is for the December issue of a magazine, and the article is about the tradition of Pessebres here in Catalunya, traditional nativity scenes which also often include the Caganers which did not feature in this particular article, but if you don’t know what they are, look it up, it might seem outrageous at first…

I met Susie (a pet psychologist) near the beach on a really lovely day. She was with a clients dog called Molly who was quite good fun and was pretty easy to photograph if I called her name or waved a treat just out of camera shot. I wanted to find a place where there…

I just saw this on the website and was quite pleased. I had sent them a selection of images, including a couple of B&W I had done for myself that I did not expect to used. I shot them like this because I was revisiting a style of lighting I had played around with years…

I had to photograph Diane for an interview piece and for a change decided a more dynamic shot would  be fun for this interview section that I do every month. I have also started a private project and Alvaro is hopefully going to feature in that, So it seemed a good idea to get them…

This was another interview page shoot. Zosen is an Argentine artist with a growing reputation, we had to do this shoot on short notice because he was off to London where he had an exhibition starting. He wears the mask to stay anonymous of course and luckily it was a riot of colours and the…

I have at last began to get the chance to do restaurants, I love doing interiors and architectural photography because it is something different from people shots, though in the end this was the best picture for me and qualifies as a portrait. The restaurant was busy but the staff were very patient and the owner…

This is a story I also did last year. The day I was photographing Julia  The art teacher (below) I also had to do one of another person for this article, I love whizzing around Barcelona with 2 or 3 different jobs to do, it keeps you on your toes and gets the creative juices…

When Nicola, the writer, told me about this guy I knew he would be fun to meet. The idea of private detectives always comes with iconic images, be it a laconic Humphrey Bogart or something more modern and invariably sleazy. He generously offered to pick me up in his car though the office is nearby,…

Another interview shot, this is my personal choice and as if often the case I make a point of shooting some frames composed the way I want. In this example I was experimenting with this particular cameras ability to let me use different formats. I love the square format, a hangover from my days of…

An interview shot that needed space for text as always. I actually did not worry too much about this when shooting this image as I really liked the background and the colours and knew the magazine would just fade it out or as it turned out apply a somewhat weird pinkish wash… I have learned…

On a sunny but very chilly and windy day I and  the journalist, plus the editor of Metropolitan Magazine drove to the nature reserve near the airport (El Prat) of Barcelona. The light was spectacular. I found myself shooting into the sun most of the time but the final results lack the usual diffusion, helped in part…

I am posting this image because it got me some work! I was contacted recently about a job in Geneva. Elena (Brain Bazaar) cited this image as one she particularly liked, I had completely forgotten about it, but remember the day quite well, not least because about a year later I was photographing a girl…
