Just so that you know what you are missing if you are not booked in for a photo session today: A cup of delicious Monsoon Malabar coffee from India with just the right quantity of frothy milk, sprinkled with a little chocolate.
The other thing that you will be missing is a set of beautiful photographs that will make your inner essence shine and your heart happy.

I am not at all technology addicted but I do believe that working with reliable, appropriate equipment is as much part of a great service as the warm welcome and the delicious cup of coffee. When I received a set of new studio lights, they needed testing and, as I do not keep models in my wardrobe (they need regular feeding and constant attention), this was a brilliant excuse for a self-portrait.

When was the last time that you stopped to look at raindrops on a leaf or a flower?

A photograph for the day: Resting places – detail from a grave in Lacock, Wiltshire, England.

This photograph of poppy flower petals reminded me of my photograph ‘Le Matin’, which shows an unmade, Parisian bed.

This could be the best of all worlds: The quality and style of a London photographer and a European-style service, combined with the convenience and relaxed atmosphere of a countryside studio.

This bakery in Rue Caulaincourt in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France, must be just about the most beautiful shop in the world.

When model Adele, makeup artist Helen and I got together the day before the summer solstice, summer arrived for just one day. I am convinced that this is not a coincidence – the weather gods must have been smiling upon us. See the “Face Of Summer 2012″ and read about the shoot.

Coffee of the moment at Wolf Kettler Photographer is a rich and smooth, medium roast, high grown El Salvador …

It was a story of “will they, won’t they?” with this young couple that I spotted in a restaurant in London’s theatre district. She was so keen on him and he did not notice that he had already won her.
