Neil Kinnock
Neil Gordon Kinnock, Baron Kinnock (born 28 March 1942) served as a Member of Parliament from 1970. He was leader of the Labour Party from 1983 until 1992. This made him the longest serving opposition leader in British political history. I photographed him during the last 5 years of his leadership.

He moved the party to the right and spearheaded the expulsion of many socialists from the Party.

Seeta Patel
Here are a couple of stills I took of the outstanding dancer Seeta Patel during a break in the filming of Ophelia, a collaboration with Genenvieve Grady.
Seeta’s other work: Alter Ego – a collaboration with Kamala Devam.

Bishopsgate Fashions and the Conventional High Street
Apparently the world’s first pop-up shopping mall will be assembled within the next month at the former Bishopsgate Goods Yard. The historic site will be renamed ‘Boxpark’ and will house 60 recycled shipping containers, spanning two floors. According to the advertising hype it promises to be “a radical, ground-breaking alternative to the ailing conventional high-street”. What the organisers have failed to realise is that such an alternative existed for years when every Sunday a small army of people would sell a range of clothes and household items. One of my favourite retailers was the woman below.

Indo Mosque
My local pub (the pub closest to where I live) is opposite the East London Mosque. These photographs provide a splendid view of both at the same time.
