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.

Ophelia
began her photography career working for The Face magazine, documenting the
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.
