20 for ’13

It’s the time of year when websites make lists of things that happened in the year gone by. So not to be outdone, here, in no particular order, are my favourite 20 shots from 2013. It has been an interesting year for me, with some prestigious new clients, amazing interior design, and flying a plane over Iceland (for at least 10 minutes).  It’s also seen the birth of my Icelanders in London project, from which I’ve picked a few of the group shots, as I couldn’t possibly pick a favourite from the individual shots, though you’re welcome to have a look and decide which is yours.

I’d love to hear from you too, dear readers, so please share your own favourite photos (taken by you or anyone else) in the comments.
