Conference Photography for The Invisible Orthodontist
It was a real pleasure to photograph The Invisible Orthodontist’s conference in Murcia, Spain earlier in the year. Fantastic weather and accommodation, even time for a quick dip in the pool between sessions and great to see everyone letting their hair down at the conference dinner.
I’m looking forward to the next one!

What Makes a House a Home? for Hawkins/Brown

The panel delved into this rich and varied topic covering everything from co-living and the concept of community, to shifts in social demographics and changing lifestyles, to DfMA, buildability and volumetric housing, to what “home” means personally to each of the panellists. Some suggestions included: “my record collection”, “acoustic insulation (three children under the age of three!),” and “the freedom to DIY”.
It was a pleasure to photograph the conference while enjoying the atmosphere of MIF and the last of the sunshine.
