A monochrome view of the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada, surrounded by modern high-rise buildings. The tower stands tall with its observation deck and antenna, showcasing urban architecture.
The view of my favorite downtown building, the Penobscot, from my backyard. There is a brick apartment building blocking the full view.

These images were taken shortly after the devastating fire at the Hotspur Press building in Manchester—a place that holds a deep personal meaning for me.
When I first picked up a camera, this was one of the buildings I returned to time and time again. The layers of texture, faded signage, broken windows, and sheer presence made it the perfect subject to experiment with. I practised framing, light, long exposure, composition… I learned to see here.
Hotspur Press shaped the way I shoot. It helped me find my photographic voice.
This building is a big part of where I am today.
To see it damaged like this is heartbreaking—not just because it’s visually iconic, but because it feels like a piece of the city’s soul has gone up in smoke. Manchester’s industrial heritage is slowly fading, and with it, so many visual stories are being lost.
Huge thanks and respect to the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service for doing everything they could to control the blaze.
I’ll be uploading more from this series soon. I feel a responsibility to document what’s left—both as a tribute to the building and as a way of holding on to a part of the city I grew up learning to love through a lens.
This Polaroid, whimsically titled "Odds Bros," features a trio of golden retrievers at Oddfellows, each with their own distinct charm and aura. The dogs, brothers aged 9, 8, and 5, sit side by side, their poses suggesting both a familial bond and individual personalities. Their patient cooperation is evident, lending the image a serene quality, as if they are accustomed to the click of the camera.
The image was meticulously crafted in manual mode, with the photographer adjusting the settings to an aperture of f/8 to keep all three brothers in sharp focus against the textured backdrop. A shutter speed of 1/30 was selected, perhaps to compensate for the lower light conditions while still maintaining a hand-holdable shot. The exposure was dialed down slightly by one-third of a stop, a subtle adjustment to avoid overexposure while capturing the rich tones of the dogs' fur and the mottled brick wall behind them.
For digital archiving, the Polaroid was scanned at a high resolution of 1200 dpi, ensuring every strand of fur and the softness of their expressions were preserved. In post-production, levels were carefully adjusted to achieve the perfect balance of light and shadow, enhancing the depth of the scene. Adobe Camera Raw likely played a role in refining the image's color and detail, bringing out the warmth and texture that make this picture so endearing.
The Light Meter Lite app was once again instrumental, used to gauge the ambient light and inform the manual camera settings. This app's convenience and precision likely contributed to capturing the brothers in such a clear, well-exposed manner. The result is an image that speaks not just to the photographers' technical skills but also to the tranquil cooperation of the "Odds Bros," whose patient participation made the charming capture possible.
This photo captures a panoramic view of the Paris skyline, featuring the historic architecture and rooftops of the city, taken from the rooftop terrace of the Printemps Haussmann department store. The scene is set against a dramatic sky, adding depth to the city's skyline.
This Polaroid, affectionately titled "Mikey's Boys," showcases the same trio of golden retriever brothers from previous shots, this time posing at Oddfellows in front of a sign for "Mikey's Late Night Slice." The image is an amalgamation of urban culture and canine companionship, with the dogs seated obediently, their expressions both serene and expectant, as if they too are patrons of the establishment.
The camera settings were specifically chosen to capture the depth and detail of the scene: f/16 to ensure a wide depth of field, bringing both the dogs and the backdrop into sharp focus; a shutter speed of 1/60, optimal for balancing the available light without introducing motion blur; and a neutral exposure compensation of +0, indicating a reliance on the camera's judgment for a balanced shot, given the consistent lighting conditions.
Shot in aperture priority mode, the photographer prioritized depth of field to capture the crispness of the moment, allowing the camera to automatically select the appropriate shutter speed for the selected aperture. This approach ensures that the dogs and their background are in harmony within the frame, contributing to a well-composed image.
Scanned at a high resolution of 1200 dpi, the Polaroid's digital rendition preserves the subtle textures and fine details, from the dogs' fur to the nuances of the pizza sign. The high-resolution scan provides ample data for refined post-processing, which was carried out in Adobe Camera Raw. In this environment, the image likely underwent precise adjustments to color balance, highlights, shadows, and clarity to enhance the overall visual narrative and ensure that "Mikey's Boys" are seen in the best possible 'light'.

This Polaroid, named "Odds Sky," depicts a slice of the heavens as framed by the urban silhouette of Oddfellows. The photograph aims to highlight the scattered cumulus clouds floating across a gradient of sky blue, with crossing lines of strung lights adding an element of whimsical geometry to the composition. The clouds seem to drift lazily in the expansive azure, caught in a perfect moment between the dark outlines of the buildings that rise towards them.
Camera settings were deliberately chosen to accentuate the contrasts and details in this urban skyscape: an aperture of f/16 for a deep depth of field, ensuring both the foreground and the vast sky were in sharp focus; a shutter speed of 1/160 to capture the fleeting movement of the clouds without blur; and an exposure compensation of [-1/3] to prevent the bright sky from washing out the finer details of the clouds and the darker buildings.
Digitally scanned with an emphasis on color accuracy, the image was processed at 300 dpi and in 24-bit color within the sRGB space, which is standard for ensuring fidelity across various digital displays. The use of Adobe Camera Raw for post-production polishing allowed for subtle adjustments in clarity, contrast, and color balance, ensuring that the final image reflected the photographer's intent and the atmospheric serenity of the scene. The photograph stands as a testament not only to the natural beauty of the sky but also to the ability of urban environments to frame and interact with such vistas, creating a narrative of coexistence between the man-made and the natural.
