Conversation, creativity and storytelling...

Every month, I have the pleasure of photographing a fascinating range of people for Country & Town House at the iconic Scarfe's Bar in the Rosewood Hotel Group, London.
These portrait sessions, alongside interviews by the wonderful Charlotte Metcalf, offer a glimpse into the lives and minds of some truly inspiring personalities.
Grateful to be part of a project that celebrates conversation, creativity, and storytelling.

Reality is a story..

"Reality is a story. Is is no ordinary story. It is a love story. It is no ordinary love story, it is an outrageous love story. And your story is a chapter in the outrageous love story of reality" Dr Marc Gafni.

I would love to hear from you if you are curious to have a line from your chapter in the love story of reality captured on camera ♡

Pageant of summer...

“It is eternity now. I am in the midst of it. It is about me in the sunshine; I am in it as the butterfly in the light-laden air. Nothing has to come; it is now. Now is eternity; now is the immortal life.” // Richard Jefferies

Longing...

“There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others who have a large vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendship between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality impossible to describe.” ― Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Beyond...

“I am reality without beginning . . . I have no part in the illusion of ‘I’ and ‘you,’ ‘this’ and ‘that.’ I am . . . one without a second, bliss without end, the unchanging, eternal truth. I dwell within all beings as . . . the pure consciousness, the ground of all phenomena, internal and external. I am both the enjoyer and that which is enjoyed. In the days of my ignorance, I used to think of these as being separate from myself. Now I know that I am all.” ― Robert Lanza, Beyond Biocentrism
