Harpenden, Hertfordshire

An affluent commuter town wrapped around a huge common — genteel, green and quiet, which is exactly the challenge. The pictures here are about the English middle class at leisure: dog walkers, cricket on the common, the farmers' market, prams and pilates, and the small gaps between the polished surface and real life.

Best time: weekend mornings for the market and the common; golden hour for long light down the quiet streets.

Camera Settings

Any. A 35mm or 50mm suits the quiet, observational pace.
