Behind the scenes edits of popular images using Photoshop in 4K.
This week I wanted to share a very popular image taken last year which is now also featured on the homepage and the official FB page for the Guru Nanak Darbar Gurdwara Gravesend. In addition, this is also available to purchase at Getty Images – click here. The original image was taken prior to the arrival […]
I have had the pleasure of shooting at several venues in the UK but none have come close to the Oshwall Centre Temple (aka Shikharbandhi Temple) in terms of authenticity to Indian traditions. The temple is constructed in the shape of the Jain symbol. Jainism is an ancient religion originating from India teaching the way […]
This week we look at a photo from a recent sikh wedding held at the Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara in Southall. The venue is absolutely stunning, finished in marble and granite with a gilded dome and stained glass windows allowing in plenty of natural light.

These simple techniques allow you to focus the message within the frame and help you tell your story. So lets’s have […]
In this post, we’ll look at one of my all time favourite landscape/architectural images of the Eiffel Tower taken a few years ago. The tower is one of the most iconic sights to see in the world, especially at night when the lights are switched on. A work of art! Being heavily focused around asian […]
