It's not often that I do family posts on R.I.D, but here is a monochrome photo of my mother I took exactly a week ago.
My mother, Bethnal Green, London
I took the candid photo on our way out of Liverpool Street station via Bethnal Green. Let me know your thoughts on this capture :)

Yesterday afternoon, I visited the Dalston Eastern Curve Gardens (a cafe with great gardens) near Dalston Junction tube station and caught this unfiltered shot whilst waiting for a friend:

The grey building in the far distance looks as if it has been 'photoshopped' in or generated using architectural software Revit/Rhinoceros 3D (takes me back to my university days!). Quite cool!
On my way out of the gym earlier; I captured this shot at Edmonton Green bus station. You know I am a sucker for perspective!

The other day I was on a connection into Shoreditch High Street station via Highbury & Islington and I captured this near monochromatic shot on board the London Overground.

I think it is rude not to get a platform capture when heading for your train ;). I have taken this photo at Charing Cross tube station.

I completely removed all saturation from the photo except for the platform artwork as I found quite an interesting contrast between its colour and the monochrome of the rest of the photo. I welcome your thoughts. R
As I am associated with The Prince's Trust; I had the privilege of being invited along with other associates for their 40th anniversary celebrations at Lambeth Palace. I was there on behalf of my fashion brand Labels Are Limitations®. This took place on 28/06/2016.
Below is my capture of the palace. Let me know your thoughts.

I also capture the clouds on exit from the grounds about 9pm

After a few years of sticking by my old personal logo, I have decided to create an update going forwards.
Below is a sharper, more flexible design which represents who I am as an individual as well as one which is representative of Roy Ikoroha Design. Slideshow below.
Very recently, I was heading to a location near Trafalgar Square for a work meeting; an area I hadn't been in a good few months! If you know me personally, you will know that any time is an opportunity for a photo...
I had a bit of time prior to my meeting; throwing up the opportunity to capture these shots. The first is of an entrance to Charing Cross underground station - playing around with a monochromatic plus the red of the station sign; and the second is of an artist creating some beautiful artwork on the concrete fronting the National Gallery.

On the 22nd May, I was in the process of departing "my second city" Bristol after a weekend stay for my cousin's birthday (a landmark one) when I saw the opportunity to take this beautiful photo...
It was at Bristol Temple Meads station and I liked how the clouds and architecture worked hand in hand!

Before this photo the day before, I was in Bristol's Cabot Circus shopping centre and I caught this photo...

Hello all,
I've been away a short while due to brand commitments, but I thought it was about time I delivered an update to the R.I.D blog! Understatement of the century right there!
I was at a cool business meeting in Bethnal Green a few weeks back and managed to capture this beautiful shot en route back to Bethnal Green station. Here I am walking through Weaver Fields; which if you go there you'll notice has city landmarks including St Mary Axe (The Gherkin) as its backdrop.
