Territorial Photo Zine Near Release

The Territorial Army photo zine is getting close to release with the zine pencilled in for release in July. The photo zine will contain around fifty pages featuring great images from the Territorial project I worked on some three decades ago. I’m really excited to get this book released as I regard it as some of my best work. The idea of creating a book for the images was only a recent one, but the zine format is perfect for celebrating the project’s thirtieth anniversary.

Strategic Defence Review

The timing of the project was interesting, although I didn’t realise that at the time. By 1996, the Cold War had well and truly ended and the Territorial Army found itself in a period of transition. Within two years, a strategic defence review conducted by the Government sought to reduce reservist numbers even further. Within seven years, from 1991 to 1998, reservist strength within the British Army was reduced by 30,000. In 2010, a government commission reviewed the state of the Territorial force which started a rebuild of the T.A along with a 2012 name change from Territorial Army to the Army Reserve.

Book Number Four

The Territorial Army Photography book will be my fourth book release, although it is the first to go back to my early years as a photographer. Check out the other books including Southerly Point released last year and my very first book release Sea, Sky, Sand and Street from 2011.

A New Year, A New Book

2026 Arrives

Into a new year and a time to think about plans for 2026. I have to say that 2025 was for me, as well as lots of others, a mixed year of both success and challenges. This year looks to be no different and the only thing you can do is try to keep up with the ever increasing pace. Ai was definitely the watchword for 2025. After being mentioned for a number of years, it was only last year that I started using the technology to aid me with my photography. Getting the blend of Ai and human skill right has been an interesting journey. Ai technology may be useful but it doesn’t always get things right.

Territorial Book

This year marks thirty years since I shot what I regard as one of my best series of images. Territorial Army has been available to view on the website ever since I launched my first photography website nearly twenty years ago, but it is time to celebrate that personal benchmark project with a new book. Taking the influence from last years Southerly Point, work has commenced on a 50+ page photo zine containing all the images from that T.A project – a total of 50 images taken during multiple visits. Progress has been good with half of the book layouts completed already. The plan is to launch the book in time for the thirtieth anniversary of the project in May.

EyeEm to Close

December brought the news of the closure of EyeEm stock photography archive. The news wasn’t a total surprise as EyeEm had filed for bankruptcy a few years ago but the news was still sad. There are options to move my EyeEm photographs over to FreePik but I think I will probably just deal exclusively with 500px for now on. The end of EyeEm and the changes made over at RedBubble have been worrying over the past year as creators get squeezed due to rising costs and lower sales due to economic downturn. Here’s to 2026 seeing a reversal in that process.

Christmas is not that fat away now but there is still just enough time to get that special photograph copied, repaired or altered.

Work usually takes between a week to ten days depending on the complexity of the work.

If you have a photograph that you’d like to send to someone as a present but the image needs some care and attention, then the repair service can get the simple image copying and repair back to you with seven days up until around 22nd December. After that date an on time delivery cannot be guaranteed.
