LPA/Futures photographer Toby Coulson recently ventured to The British Pigeon Show in Blackpool. Nicknamed the ‘Crufts of the pigeon world’ more than 25000 people attend the show to see over a 1000 fancy pigeons and 3000 racing pigeons. Toby went along to photograph the proud breeders and their pigeons.
Toby tells us about his experience at the show:
‘It was amazing to see the passion and commitment these people have towards the pigeons and the show. Every one was very friendly and helpful in putting this series of portraits together.’

Can you help stop Igor freezing whilst he carries out a very important mission?
Photographer Igor Emmerich has teamed up with production company CAM & Partners to help raise awareness for international children’s heart charity, ICHF. Igor is all set to document the incredible work this charity does on one of their medical mission trips to Siberia.
Traveling with producer Aleks Pollner in March, Igor will capture stills and video footage. He will document the surgical team, the patients and their families at home and in hospital, plus the unique Siberian culture and landscape.
There’s only one problem. Temperatures can fall as low as - 25 º c in Siberia in March (you think it’s cold here!) and Igor hasn’t got warm enough clothes!
We are looking for an extreme weather clothing company to sponsor us and donate some clothing gear for Igor’s trip.
ICHF has conducted medical mission trips in underdeveloped or remote countries since 1993. The trips have increased over the years and now there are at least two ICHF Medical Teams every month repairing children’s hearts somewhere in the world. Trips on the schedule this year include Libya, Egypt, Honduras, Iraq, India, and Siberia amongst others.
Please help us help this amazing charity.
email lisa@lisapritchard.com if you think you can sponsor us or know someone who can.

Michael Heffernan is just back from shooting a travel story in Namibia.
“It’s a country of pristine wilderness, stunning wildlife and home to the oldest desert in the world” Michael told us. Starting in Cape Town, South Africa, with a twelve hour drive up to the Fish River Canyon in Namibia. Michael then drove over four thousand kilometers in ten days to see a cross section of this fascinating country.
