The British pub as a social document.

With permission, photograph inside pubs - the regulars, the occasions, the solitary drinkers, the lock-ins, the quiz nights, the football crowds.

How to shoot it: Permission and patience, because this is an insider's subject. Become a regular first, shoot on quieter nights before busy ones, and keep the camera small. Available light only, so a fast lens and a steady hand, and let the warm tungsten do the work. Look for ritual, the same seat, the lock-in, the quiz, the solitary pint, and photograph with affection, not mockery.

The output: A documentary series with genuine cultural value.
