Been busy this month. A little sneak peek of something from the future… 📷 @kermodemovie.bsky.social ..new music ?!

#Hamnet soundtrack by @maxrichtermusic.bsky.social Essential Sunday listening ❤️

Sundays. A long lie in to finish a great novel, then listen to some music, eat, drink, finish with an early night to start a new great novel. Sundays. #booksky

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Scientists say that buying a book and reading a book will improve your day 100% of the time. Trust the scientists. - Michael

Thoughts on #hamnet ? Is it worth paying a small mortgage to see it on the big screen whilst people eat and talk through it.

I’m wondering if all murder mysteries come with a red ribbon 🤔 Thank you @bertsbooks.bsky.social #booksky

Greatest live album cover ever ? I think so. It’s what we live for. #Queen #musicphotography 📷 Koh Hasabe 1979

Just me, or anyone else hoping this excellent novel inspires/heralds the return to our screens of Douglas Henshall. We can call it ‘PEREZ’ or ‘ORKNEY’ for starters. Please have a word @anncleeves.bsky.social 😉 #booksky #shetland

Finishing the year with some prints from my Abbey Road Studio sessions. Looking forward to returning in 2026. #abbeyroadstudios #filmmusicphotographer #filmscores #photographer #leicacameras #sigmalenses

Iconic historical poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the memorial in my local village where he was was born and grew up. His works and infamous relationships with Wordsworth and Shelley make him our most famous literary giant. A nice Boxing Day homage for us to visit. #booksky #literary #writers

Giveaway! I’m giving one lucky person the chance to pick one shelf of books from our Bertvent bookcase. Follow and repost by midday on Saturday 27th and I’ll pick someone at random! Which shelf will you choose? (UK only)

Travelling through Japan with my daughter, a highlight of this year. #japan #travelling

Thank you for the music Chris. Gone but never forgotten ❤️ #chrisrea

All set for Xmas week - love my tree.

Now it’s been ‘officially’ released and is out there, here is my portrait of Composer Lorne Balfe, taken at Abbey Road this year. This is from my ongoing documentary on him and his work, started in 2024. #lornebalfe #abbeyroad #composer #hollywood #music #photographer Under strict copywrite.

@bertsbooks.bsky.social thank you ! First present under the tree this year 🥰

Book recommendation required. Something Christmassy with a good thriller/murder vibe. #BookSky #booksky

Got slammed by the critics, but I still find it quite charming. There are lots of crap xmas movies out there, this isn’t one of them.

Confessions of a Shopaholic novelist Sophie Kinsella dies aged 55

Knew it, reading does save lives. #booksky

Chaos with the trains tonight at Waterloo (what’s new!). Must be demogorgons on the line.

The last 10 mins of this film gets me every time 😢

Found myself in Oxford again this week, first time there since I was on tour with a v.famous singer. Nice to see the sights I missed then and soak up the Xmas atmos. Visited all the important literary sights of course.

This is Cole Stacey. We’ve worked together quite a bit this year and I can’t recommend him highly enough as an artist. His music is ethereal, relevant, and rooted in Devonian life. Look him up and take a listen. His album ‘Postcards from Lost Places’ is available now.

New Year’s resolution. Buy more books from Bert and support Indie Bookstores.

If there are any publishers out there who specialise in Photographers journals, and might be interested in my visual travels in JAPAN, would love to hear from you. #BookSky #indiebooks #photographybooks #writerscommunity #publishers #japan

This time next year - can’t wait for everyone to see what I recently worked on. My first foray with Hollywood 📷 Watch this space in 2026…

This is brilliant, we really don’t deserve dogs.

Introducing Oprah. Apparently we have adopted each other. #catprotection

My book on Japan is here. My summer journeys are coming back to me, memories of the loveliest people and amazing places. I’ll treasure my time out there forever. #japan #photographer

Had the pleasure of working with these two jokers earlier this year. If you haven’t seen it yet, WILL & RALF SHOULD KNOW BETTER is great tv.

As ever, enlightened and educated by the wonderful work of @davidolusoga.bsky.social

Another 2025 highlight was seeing the publication of the wonderful new book SURROUND SOUND by friend @kermodemovie.bsky.social and @nelsonjenny.bsky.social Available at all good bookstores i’m sure, but go indie if possible. #newbooks #anovelidea #indiebookstores #literary #moviemusic

So excited for this one. A great way to start the new year - preorded ! 😊

Such a thrill to work on a huge Hollywood movie this year. Cant say what just yet, but loved being back at Abbey Road to document the film score for it. #Filmscorephotographer

Time to post a few highlights of the year. Loved being part of the BERGERAC film crew this autumn and can’t wait for season 2 to air next year. More photos then… 📷 #unitstillsphotographer

Wow. This looks so cool. It’s definitely the season for reading novels like these on dark cold nights. #booklover

Some awesome photos by @marktphotography.bsky.social The Forum, Bath - Part One #TheDivineComedy #Bath @simonlittle.bsky.social

Channelling my inner-Martin Parr yesterday.

Testing out my new LEICA D-lux 8 camera today.

Had the pleasure of photographing my favourite broadcaster @whisperingbob.bsky.social last year. A nicer guy you could not meet, so here’s a new one not shared before.

Was lovely to contribute a photo to such a great cause last night. Hope they raised loads of money.

Sunday vibes.

Wonderful news for all those involved in making this great film. Feel very privileged to have been onboard for a short time to document on camera some of the talent involved. Bring on those Oscars and BAFTAs #wallaceandgromit

New Year inventory check complete. We’re good to go 2025.
