Working again with frank the agency, 'River Cruise' is currently running as press ads whilst 'Set out Below' can be seen as 48 sheet posters on the London Underground.
Nigel recalls... 'River Cruise was shot from the stern of a rib. Not only did we require cracking light around 6pm but also for Big Ben to be visible at our selected position on the river, we needed this great light to coincide with the position of the tide. Couple this with a copy deadline of ten days, a cruise boat on a specific timetable, a 6 meter tidal range and the good old British weather, the challenge was on!'
'Set out Below' was shot over three gloriously sunny days in May and features 10 famous London landmarks as seen from the West to the East of the Capital. Each element was shot in the same lighting conditions and then carefully assembled in retouching!

Nigel's images feature the work of fishermen from around the UK and involved long
periods at sea in all types of weather. "Leaving port at 04.00 and returning at 21.00 is
not for the faint hearted - but that's all in a days work for a fisherman" recalls
Nigel.

The RNLI has also conceived and developed an innovative safety system - MOB Guardian. The system monitors a vessels position and automatically alerts the emergency services of a man overboard...
