When your models have to cancel last minute, but you know a model that is always available! 🤣 #SelPortrait #BeyondTheBloom

#MuseumNerdTime 🏛️🐍 Spotted at the Bank: a glorious roundel with acanthus leaves & everyone's favourite stone-cold Gorgon. In classical architecture, Medusa had an apotropaic function—her terrifying stare was meant to keep evil at bay. Hideous on purpose. Beautiful in meaning. #ArtHistoryNerdsUnite

Yesterday I ran my Street Photography for Wellbeing workshop with @TeamLondonBridge for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. #StreetPhotography is not just a hobby. It is a survival strategy. A way to stay sane, stay curious & stay human. Massive thanks to all who came! 🙏🏻 ☺️

Took the Camera Club out between Liverpool Street + Brick Lane for an Urban Portrait Pod—with mirrors. Because why not make framing extra weird and wonderful? Members brought their A-game (and modelled too, legends). Reflections, light play, and creativity all around. 😍 #UrbanPortraits

Beyond the Brim is popping off for London Craft Week! These hats are all drama—when the light hits just right, they transform into sculptural creatures. Bold, beautiful, and seriously worth a visit. Catch the pop-up at the Museum before it vanishes today. #LondonCraftWeek #HatArt #MuseumMagic

May the 4th be with me because it is also my birthday! 🎉 At 48, I feel better than I ever have. Stronger, wiser, softer in the right places, sharper where it counts. I’m officially entering my Queen Phase—the glorious stage before Crone (which, let’s be honest, I’m also kinda excited for). ♥️

Having a lovely pre-flight meal & drink while nerding out over the symbolism in the Bank of England’s architecture. The art historian in me is having an extremely good time. 😎 #GoingPlaces #MostLikelySpain #BirthdayWeekend #ArtHistoryNerd

Hello #HiveMind! Looking for London-based #Mudlarkers that would like a free table to do a bit of a show and tell of their finds in August! Any leads??? Thank you!!!! 😁 #Mudlarking #Mudlark #ThamesFinds @londonmudlark.bsky.social

Today I had lunch "al fresco" because it was such a beautiful day. The City can be charming when it wants to! ♥️😎 #SunnyDay #BankOfEngland #RoyalExchange #LondonCalling

Spring’s in full flirt mode and the poppies got the memo. Red for passion, white for peace ! #HappyMayDay! May your heart bloom as boldly as these beauties! #MayDayMagic #SpringFlings #PoppyLove #RedAndWhiteDelight #FlowerPower

Museum Nerd Time! This is the Stock Office at the Bank of England Museum—once filled with desks and dividend-seekers, now showing off its fierce apotropaic flair. Lions! Medusas! Classical myth meets cold, hard cash. 🏛️🧿🗿 #MuseumNerdTime #BankOfEnglandMuseum #ApotropaicArchitecture

On week four at the #BankofEnglandMuseum & already fully obsessed with the building. This is Ariel, the wind goddess from The Tempest, perched on one of the domes since 1925 when architect Sir Herbert Baker re-designed the building! #ArielAtTheBank #ArchitecturalFixation

Well! This is a lovely surprise! My co-curated exhibition at the Camera Club has had a bit of press! 😁 kenningtonrunoff.com/the-art-of-s...

#typicalhistorian me as #Atropos, eldest of the Moirai, she who cuts the thread of life. Why?Because we wrestle with what is remembered,what is forgotten & what must be severed to make space for new narratives. Because sometimes being a historian means knowing when to cut the thread. #GreekMythology

Apparently the Devil wears Prada 😈 New specs, same troublemaker. Loving my new Prada frames—feeling like a glam librarian with fangs. (Also, 10/10 would recommend unleashing your inner villain with designer frames.) #PradaEyewear #SilverSister #AltGlam #VampireVibes #BoldLooks #SmartIsSexy

So grateful to have photographed my brilliant friend Amanda Grace for #BeyondTheBloom. My first studio project not focused on self-portraits—and I am fully leaning into the dramatic light and muted tones. Definitely my vibe. Getting ready for my exhibition in Nov😄! #AmandaGrace #StudioPortraits

Had the absolute joy of photographing the fabulous Jama🧡 He radiated style, personality & unapologetic self-expression. A total dream to shoot. More than just fashion—this was a full-spectrum energy session.📸 #PortraitPhotography #StyleIcon #ColourfulSoul #InStudio #BlackAndWhite #BoldLooks #NikonZ6

Honoured to be among the first to see (& photograph) the wild, hilarious, and strangely moving SNOLIGOSTER 🐊🔥 by my brilliant friend #AmandaGrace & the amazing #JessCorner. As a former Florida resident, this show hit extra hard—satire, swamp & soul. Long live the #Snoligoster! 🐊💫 #Theatre

Happy Father's Day (in Spain) to my awesome Dad! Here is to making more funny faces for years to come! I love you to infinity and beyond! ❤️✨❤️ #DiaDelPadre #FathersDayInSpain #ThankfulForCrazyDad

For #InternationalWomensDay, I want to share the work of an amazing Ukranian photographer from the early 20th century: Sofia Yablonska. She is truly one of many inspirational women out there who defied the odds in the past! Here is to hoping #HerStory inspires more defiance! #IWD2025 #Ukraine

Honoured to have photographed the amazing photographer Rod Tidman for my upcoming exhibition, Beyond the Bloom: Portraits of Unconventional Beauty. A series celebrating those who redefine beauty. 📅 Open View: 20 Nov, 7PM at #Gallery1885, The Camera Club—see you there! #PhotographyExhibition

1/2-Throwback to the 10th #FilipinoMartialArtsFestival, where sticks were flying, footwork was sharp & bruises were just another way of saying good job!🥋 Honoured to have trained with legends, including GM Rene Tongson, and I am gearing up to do it all again at the upcoming seminar in Votice! #Arnis

Just stepped into the 19th c for a day! Posed for @kuca_magda at her #WetPlateCollodion open studio, and the results are pure photographic alchemy. Watching the image emerge on glass and metal felt like witnessing magic—silver, chemistry, and light working together to create something timeless.

🚀 Big news! The embargo is lifted—I am now the Museum Operations & Marketing Manager at the Bank of England Museum! Excited to work with a brilliant team to bring economic & social history to life. Oh, and yes—you can touch a real gold bar when you visit! 🔥 #Museums #NewRole

Haunting shadows, stark contrasts, and echoes of the past—this black & white series captures the soul of my hometown in Spain. Dramatic, evocative, and steeped in mystery, and yet these images hint at the many personal stories hidden within them. #PhotographyIsArt #MonochromeMagic #Spain

1/4- Let me introduce you to the exceptional work of Sofia Yablonska (1907-1971), a trailblazing #Ukrainian photographer whose diligent documentation transcended cultural and geographic boundaries. #TravelPhotographer #PhotograpHER #HERstory #TravelBlog

What a great #OpenView we had for the 2024 Annual Members Winter Exhibition that I curated at The Camera Club! The gallery looked great! If you have time, come and see the exhibition-open until January 10 and free! 😊 And yes, I have 2 photos: Stuart and Portrait of My Father's Eye. #ProudCurator

I must admit that I was not too confident that I could keep last year's real Xmas tree alive, but here we are...with less branches, a bit uneven, but gloriously alive and drenched in gold and even a bunny! ❤️🎄🎁 #Christmas2024 #ChristmasTree

What a gorgeous winter sunset! ❤️ #CarCapture #WinterSunset

Art offers amazing lessons for #photographers! Take Leonardo da Vinci's Madonna of the Rocks—its pyramid composition creates depth and unity, with figures grouped in 3D space and connected through gestures and gazes. It is a beautiful example to explore at the National Gallery. #RulesOfComposition

My first curated Annual Members Winter Exhibition at the Camera Club is coming up! If you are in London you are welcome to join us for the open view on 12 Dec, showcasing the incredible talent of our community of photographers! 📸 #PhotographyShowcase #CreativePhotography #LondonArtScene

When my father decides to be silly, but his daughter is a photographer and sees the beauty of the surreal in his antics! 👁️ Title: Portrait of Gary D. Walker's Right Eye. #SurrealPhotography #DisturbingBeauty #MonochromeMagic #SurrealVision #EerieAesthetics #PortraitsOfTheUncanny #DarkMonochrome

My dear friend, Cherish York, was a fantastic model who went along with all the crazy ideas that I had for her birthday photo shoot! She chose blue gels for her light source as blue is her favourite colour. 😊 What a great collaboration!❤️ #ArtisticPortraits #StudioPortraits

I think I am going to #Christmas Hell for this!😂 Forget the #ElfOnAShelf! Meet the Diseased Elves that I made for @oldoptheatre.bsky.social Elf Pathology Trail. It has been 3 years, but they continue to be just as disturbing as the first time I modified them! I love them!😍 #MuseumTrail #OldOpTheatre

1/4-Let me tell you about one of the photographers that have resonated with me the most this year. She was a true pioneer and traiblazer! 📸 Let me introduce you to Christina Broom (1862–1939), Britain’s First Female Press Photographer. #Photography #PhotograpHERS #Herstory #PhotographyHistory

One of my favorite photo series, #MakeUpOnTheGo, has come to an end after 6 yrs! Capturing the blend of private rituals in public spaces, especially in transit, has been fascinating. These moments of transformation on the move remind us how adaptable and creative people can be.💄✨ #StreetPhotography

When you attend a Regency Ball at Apsley House and bump into an old friend—Quevedo, painted by Velázquez! The 17th-century poet, known for his razor-sharp wit,wrote the shadiest poem about Gongora’s 'superlative nose.' They were bitter rivals and each tried to outdo each other with poetic insults! 😅

Woohoo! I did not realise that @k8lister.bsky.social was here and she shared the episode where I got to tell her all about the @oldoptheatre.bsky.social and Victorian surgery! 😍

My first serious camera, an Olympus OM-4, sparked endless experiments. One night, I captured this: my sister’s reflection in my car’s rearview mirror, framed by darkness. It’s a little glimpse of how photography lets us see the world differently. What was your first big shot? #ThrowbackPhotography

1/4- Why Photography? 📸 Photography has become my sanctuary—whether I’m capturing the energy of the streets, doing experiments with self-portraits, or using my camera to see in different ways. Each project allows me to pause, reflect & connect with my surroundings in a deeply personal way.

Looking back at my first photo from the 2020 pandemic—a surreal moment frozen in time. An empty courtyard, a quiet world, and a sense of the unknown ahead. That shot captured the eerie stillness and raw uncertainty of a new reality. Photography, even in silence, speaks volumes. #PandemicPhotography
