Yesterday we headed back to Moreton Morrell for something a little different, spending the day photographing the BHMS Miniature Horse Show.

Heroes on the Roof On Saturday, we had the privilege of photographing a very special charity abseil from the roof of Coventry Cathedral. This was certainly not an everyday photography assignment. Rather than photographing the action safely from ground level, we joined the participants on the cathedral roof, giving us a close-up view of the nerves, determination and bravery involved …
Three Busy Days of Dressage at Weston Lawns We recently spent three very busy days photographing the British Dressage and MCI GB dressage at Weston Lawns Equestrian Centre.
