Following Red Arrows came four commissioned books: 'The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work' (Hamish Hamilton); 'A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary' (Profile); 'Religion for Atheists' (Hamish Hamilton), all with Alain de Botton; and 'Risk Wise: Nine Everyday Adventures' by Polly Morland (Profile).

    Most recently, his documentary and landscape interpretations offered a visual narrative for another collaboration with Polly Morland in 'A Fortunate Woman: A Country Doctor's Story' (Picador), shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize.

As well as more recent digital work, his extensive archive of scanned film images from the mid-80s to early 2000s is online here at Photoshelter, with Getty Images (via 'In Pictures') and Alamy.
