Jökulsárlón | Story Behind The Shot #6
Back with a Story Behind The Shot with Jökulsárlón, and also back in time. I shot this some years ago in a touristless Iceland, with a then-brand-new iPhone 6 Plus. That’s right, no fancy camera, just what was always in my pocket. The Story Behind The Shot is a column I regularly send to all newsletter subscribers. It is now exclusive email content, no more sharing on this blog. So, if you...

Particularly in those areas where flocks of tourists usually cram every empty corner, the view is very much on the eerie side....

London New Year fireworks
Last night was the first time I went out to photograph London’s New Year fireworks.

I teamed up with my friend Martyn to scout a place South of London. The main idea was to find an elevated viewpoint...
