Prince Charles & Camilla Visit Mosque Plus Film Awards

This proved to be a very welcoming trip to the Dawoodi Bohra Mosque in Northolt, where I was served tea, given food and granted access inside the Mosque to photograph Prince Charles and Camilla's visit. It made for some interesting photos too.







Later that day I covered the London Critics' Circle Film Awards at the Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane. Not one of the better know awards ceremonies, but there were a few names worth shooting including Dev Patel, the lead in international hit move, Slumdog Millionnaire and Dame Judi Dench (both below)

Chaka Khan Plays Shepherds Bush Empire

Fantastic soul diva to shoot - she put so much emotion effort into her vocals, which make for great shots.

Snow! And The Kooks' Secret Gig

Today we experienced London's heaviest snowfall since the early 90s causing the city to grind to a standstill. I was suffering from a bad cold, but forced myself up to Primrose Hill to get some snaps, and found seemingly half of London were tobogganing down the slopes. I also spotted Lily Allen and got a frame or two as she enjoyed the snow, but unfortunately the paps had already been following her all day and no doubt blitzed all pics which would make the papers.






Later that night, still feeling terrible, I headed for the Hawley Arms where The Kooks' front man was performing a secret gig. I was hoping he'd have his new girlfriend, Micsha Barton, in tow, but she turned out to be in the States.
