If you’re a regular Radio Times reader, the copy you pick up today will give you an exclusive glimpse inside the all new tardis – Doctor Who’s mode of intergalactic transport.

For non UK readers, I should explain that Doctor Who is a BBC television series which has been running since 1963 – and is probably one of the UK’s most famous and best-loved TV series. It features ‘the Doctor’, a time lord who appears human but who has distinctly alien abilities and a benevolent attitude to go with it. He travels through time and space with a human companion in an old-fashioned police box called ‘the tardis’ – which despite being diminutive outside, opens into a vast space inside.

The new series launches this coming weekend, and features a new Doctor (played by Matt Smith – the eleventh Doctor), his new companion and the all new tardis.

I was lucky enough to be invited to shoot the interior of the new tardis. As a lad who grew up avidly watching Doctor Who (a habit which I’ve not grown out of!), this was one of the most exciting shoots I’ve undertaken.

You can see one of the tardis images on the cover of the Radio Times, which is a gatefold cover – opening out to show the panorama and give a wider view of the inside of the tardis.

EXO2 – a glossy magazine for fashion and the arts has run a 12 page feature on some of my panoramas. The above image is from the cover of the magazine and shows my Hyde Park image in the background.

A short while ago I was in LA, shooting fashion panoramas for alternative designers Mother of London.

I’m back from exhibiting at the 9th Shanghai International Photographic Art Exhibition in China, and it was a pretty incredible experience. I was able to spend a few days travelling around Shanghai and the outskirts as well as spending time at the exhibition. We had a fairly hectic press conference, at which I discovered that I’m far happier on one side of the lens than the other! So somewhere I’m appearing on Chinese TV – but I’ve no idea where, so if anyone sees me, let me know! I’ve put a couple of Shanghai panoramas live on the Will Pearson site and will add more over the coming weeks and months.

I’ve also recently returned from California, where I was shooting some new Yungfuktoi fetish fashion images at an amazing underground location in Downtown LA. I’ll be adding those in the not too distant future.

I have been selected to join some of the UK’s leading photographers at the 9th Shanghai International Photographic Art Exhibition, which is a really exciting opportunity. The Yungfuktoi series will be included in the exhibition, along with another collection of panoramas. I am travelling out to China for the exhibition this Summer, and hope to be able to do a new series in Shanghai while I’m there. I’ll update the blog with images from Shanghai as soon as I can, so watch this space.

The May issue of VR-MAG (the trade magazine for the virtual tour and panoramic industry) features an interview with me about my work and background.
