Outdoor Photographer of the Year 2010 – Nature on the Brink. Photo: Quintin Lake
I’m delighted to announce that I have won the Nature on the Brink Category the Outdoor Photographer of the Year 2010 run by Outdoor Photography Magazine. This great news comes a few days after my win in the Travel Photographer of the Year awards so it will be hard to keep this pace up in 2011.
The image depicts a game of football game at Jardim São Marcos favela adjacent to the Fosfertil fertiliser factory, Cubatão, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Cubatao, used to be one of the most polluted places on earth dubbed “The Valley of Death”. Many residents live in shanty towns sandwiched between the factories and the jungle. I spent a few weeks with a non-commercial film crew documenting those lives of those who live there. My account of the experience can be read in Cubatao: Life in the Valley of Death
This image has also been used for the cover of the Music CD Brazil Geopolitics

This stylish shop was established by Thomas Fox in 1868, and has passed through a number of hands since then. In the early days the building housed a hair salon and a tailor, also owned by Fox, and it was common for customers to come, leave their umbrella to be repaired and have their hair cut while they were waiting. The extremely stylish exterior was installed in 1936 and was, at the time, the latest in shop-front design. Curved non-reflective glazing later used at heals on Tottenham court road was used for the windows, and the framework was made from black Vitrolite a type of black glass used in the 1930s and chromed steel. Two prancing silver foxes and a neon sign were the finishing touches. Seventy years on, it still looks achingly cool.
Inside, the shop is fitted with cabinets made of solid Canadian black walnut. The staircase boasts framed mirrors, with original advertising graphics dating back to 1868. Right up until 1990, the umbrellas were handmade in the basement workshop to the strictest criteria, and T Fox prides itself on having produced one-off designs for John F Kennedy, a gadget umbrella for a James Bond film, and brollies for John Steed in ‘The Avengers’.
