In Focus: Spaces, Faces & Places

November 2026

Hello Subscriber First Name

This month's In Focus is a bit of a mix, from beautifully refurbished school interiors to a major conference and (literally) hundreds of university headshots. Three very different projects, each with its own challenges and highlights. Here's a little of what I've been working on recently.

Taskspace | Back to School

The recent half term saw me back on what feels like an annual tour of schools for Taskspace, capturing some of their recently completed projects. This year's visits took me to King's School Rochester for refurbished science labs, Cranleigh School for a dining room and The Perse School in Cambridge for a library refurbishment.

My aim is always to capture the quality and detail of Taskspace's work, from balancing natural and artificial light to finding the best angles to show off the design. It's always interesting to see how they've transformed these spaces, particularly when working within the constraints of historic and listed buildings.

The Blend 2026 | Team Effort

Back at The Eastside Rooms in Birmingham for a third year of The Blend, with advertising guru Rory Sutherland as compere. The Blend is all about collaboration and that extends to the photography too. With another photographer and an onsite editor working alongside me, there's plenty of juggling involved in keeping everyone in the right place at the right time, while making sure a steady stream of images is ready for sharing throughout the day.

It was also great to see Rob James at Topo Productions and his video team doing their thing. I recommended Rob when I first became involved with The Blend and this year they managed to film, edit and produce a highlights video in time for the final daytime session. A great team effort, with both photos and video ready for the organisers to share before the day was over.

University of Leicester | Recruitment Fair & Law Society Headshots

October was a busy month at the University of Leicester, where I photographed 478 people across three recruitment fairs covering general careers, law and business and STEM. It was great to be invited back again this year and encouraging to see such strong demand for professional headshots from undergraduates, staff and exhibitors alike.

I was also back at the University to shoot a group and individual headshots for the Law Society Committee, swapping the blue studio background for the lovely surroundings of the Law Library. Two quite different settings, but the same approach: flattering light, natural expressions and making sure everyone felt comfortable in front of the camera. I'll be keeping an eye out for some familiar faces popping up on LinkedIn over the coming weeks!

That’s it from me for now. Thanks as always for reading and for your continued support.

I've also shared a few highlights from the recent miaList Awards on LinkedIn, so do take a look if you get a moment.

Until next time, when a certain Christmas robin might just make another appearance...
