Shot some black & white #Polaroid I-type film on a rare trip to the Mutianyu Great Wall the other day. The film had been slightly exposed after passing through a security archway the previous day, and it resulted in some really atmospheric shots. #analoguephotogrpahy

I’m really pleased with the result here… given the low light, I opened the taps using “light painting” mode on the phone app, with the exposure switch on the camera set to high. Really having fun with the OneStep+

Just got back from watch Yard Act at a small live venue in downtown Beijing, and it has to be hands down the best show I’ve seen this year. Absolutely smashed it. Highly recommend seeing them if they visit a stage near you… #YardAct #WeMakeHits

This is a sunset view of Shark Bay in Koh Tao, Thailand, from the poolside bar of the gorgeous Jamakhiri Dive Resort and Spa.
It was a tough call between this and a sunset shot of Aberafan, Wales…
