In
the dark, wet weather what better to brighten up your day than enjoying
photographs of a sun-drenched Saltdean Lido? This series of documentary
photographs, some of which were featured last year in The Sunday Times
Magazine, captures the absurd and overlooked beauty of British life.

club/youth scene. Although known more for her portrait work, some of her
clients include British Vogue, Teen Vogue, W Magazine and various weekend
supplements.

I think I’m turning Japanese

Hello from Tokyo where we've been doing some Nokia
research.

Key differences between us and them:

Our Tokyo office:

–      
We do illustrations, they photograph
themselves naked.

001

–      
We have a bike rack, they have skateboards
(but do they have a skateboard scheme, eh Bronwen?)

002

–      
We’re next door to Rossis, they’re
next door to a brand new arts center (their spelling, not mine) with a Picasso
exhibition.

003

004
 

Around town:

–      
We have Ronny, they have dancing
policemen.

005

–      
We’re in Nathan Barley, they’re in
Blade Runner.

006

–      
We have tea and (admittedly very good)
biscuits in meetings, they have adult toys.

007

–      
We’re tall, they’re maybe not as tall.

008

 

That’s that nation cracked then.
