  • A fisherman from the Maldives clubs to death a yellow fin tuna on the deck of a dhoni boat in the Indian Ocean. Using a handmade instrument of death, carved from beach flotsam, the man raises his hands to again bring the club down on the dying fish whose skull has already been smashed by repeated blows. Next it will be gutted efficiently with sharp knives and immediately plunged into ice containers to cool the flesh, reducing the risk of self-deteriorating flushed blood which renders it unfit for consumption under EU law (its live internal core temperature is 40 degrees centigrade). When as many fish have been caught before dark using hand and line method, rather than nets, the boat presses on to the processing factory at Himmafushi where they're filleted and boxed for export to Europe and in particular, for UK supermarkets like Sainsbury's.

Making notes on his clipboard as he looks at the striding man, the audience has yet to arrive so we see a largely empty scene that usually  serves as a shop. Howell is one of Britain's more understated of couture brands alongside more flamboyant personalities. Howell admits to being "inspired by the methods by which something is made .. enjoying the tactile quality of natural fabrics such as tweeds, linen and cotton in a relaxed, natural and lived in look."

Afternoon sunlight pours through a front window into his living room which serves as a shrine to the Sheep. Having already refused a half million Pounds for his house and spectacular view high up on a hill, he prefers to breed his beloved Blackface sheep which he shows only twice a year at local competitions in the Dunvegan area and the prizes and awards are proof of his success. Vic now lives alone rearing his livestock with four sheepdogs for training and company. Image taken for the 'UK at Home' book project published 2008..

  • Two Metropolitan Police officers patrol the tidal waters River Thames beneath the bow HMS Belfast warship in London, England. In their small boat used to police and often make searches of the river in central London, their searchlight watches for people in the water - especially on Fridays and around New year. The Underwater and Confined Space Search Team (UCSST), are part of the Marine Support Unit and based at Wapping. They also carry out searches in canals, ponds, lakes and reservoirs. It was set up as a full time unit in 1964. One of their most distressing jobs, however, is recovering bodies from the River. On average over 50 people lose their lives in the Thames each year and about 80% of these are by suicide (usually by jumping off one of the many bridges that cross the Thames).

  • A team of English tea-tasters employed by the tea company Lyons sample different blends for the PG Tips brand in the City of London, England UK. With variously-sourced teas from tea estate plantations, they smell, touch, sip, slurp then spit the hot drink out into a spittoon rather than swallow it many times repeatedly. Britons drink 35 million cups of PG Tips a day and world tea production is approximately 3.2 million tonnes a year. Kenya is the largest producer with Sri Lanka a close second. PG Tips is imported as single estate teas from around the world and blended in precise proportions set by the tea tasters to make blend 777, which can contain between 12 and 35 single estate teas at any one time depending on season..

  • A woman farmer taps dripping resin from a rubber tree in a plantation on Pulau Langkawi Island, Malaysia. We see the lady surrounded by even rows of trees, all carefully spaced when planted. Each cool evening the tapper removes a thin layer of bark along a downward half spiral on the tree trunk. She makes an incision in the bark of the tree and fluid then drains into a collecting vessel. If done carefully and with skill, this tapping panel will yield latex for up to 5 years. Malaysia is one of the top exporters of natural rubber. Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea, some 30 km off the mainland coast of northwestern Malaysia.

  • Layering water reed on to the roof of a Suffolk cottage, traditional thatchers work together in afternoon sun. While in the background new straw is brought up onto the roof while in the foreground another thatcher leans into the ladder and the roof's slope. Using a thatching tool called a Leggett, Legate, bat or dresser to position the thatch on the roof. Typically one end is treated so as to catch the ends of the reed used. This tool is used by the thatcher to dress the reed into place and ensure an even finish. Using techniques developed over thousands of years, good thatch will not require frequent maintenance. In England a ridge will normally last 10-15 years. Thatching is the craft of building a roof with dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge, rushes and heather, layering the vegetation so as to shed water away from the inner roof.

  • Separated by four floors, two employees of the auditing company Ernst & Young, make their way along walkways in the main atrium of E & Y's European headquarter offices at More London, London England. Striding confidently between offices, the two people are unaware of each other's presence but make their way from right to left of this tall, upright scene of modernity. The senior person on top may have an advantage from better opportunities, the low-ranking worker below may be needing to rise up the ranks. Morning sunlight floods through the green tinted glass that overlooks Tower Bridge on the River Thames. The term atrium comes from Latin: a large and light central hall or reception of a house where guests were greeted. The depth and height of all levels from near the top to almost the bottom give a sense of vertigo, a dizzying perspective. .

In 1990, the terrorist threat came from Irish Republicans (IRA) rather than Islamist extemists and credible threats proved to be correct, that these idealists wanted to assassinate Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Police cordons were therefore an efficient method of controlling and restricting access to those without the proper delegates' or media accreditation. The most striking figure is the male officer in the foreground whose profile is prominent because of his traditional police helmet.

He is usually a friendly face to accompany unsure travellers, often helping them reach their stop and answering questions about the journey with good humour and kindness. Their removal in favour of single driver crews meant that bus travel became more intimidating...

Her black shoe is resting on a small brass plinth for the leather to be buffed up with the help of Kiwi polish and the efficient speed of a good brushing technique with the final stage being a dusting to bring the best reflective shine. Their relationship is that of paying-customer and servant and we look see a sexually-dominant situation where the wealthy-looking lady is standing over the man with her strong leg showing in a provocative manner. Wearing a red uniform and ID, the shoe-shiner is on bended-knees, his weight resting on a soft, red cushion, protection from the cold, hard pavement while looking down, concentrating on the job in hand.

  • A male passenger is asleep with his mouth open, leaning his head on a bus window as it passes the background pillars of the Bank of England in the financial district City of London. On the exterior of the bus are the words: "We've got to get this city to work," an advertising slogan used by London Transport to seduce commuters from their cars and back on to public transport which is one of the most expensive world capitals on which to travel by bus, train or underground. This style of bus is a traditional design called a 'Routemaster' which has been in service on the capital's roads since 1954 and is nowadays only seen on heritage routes such as these destination: Victoria, Bond Street, Oxford Street, Holborn and Bank (the Bank of England). From any angle, the bus is easily recognisable as that classic British transport icon.  The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000.

The Lloyds market began in Edward Lloyd's coffeehouse around 1688 and is today the world's leading insurance market providing specialist insurance services to businesses in over 200 countries and territories.
