Photographer Mark Tipple spent months being battered by the sea as he captured the moments waves broke underwater.
Tipple took the stunning shots of swimmers and surfers emerging underwater engulfed in clouds of whitewater while being frequently rocked by the waves himself. The 29 year old captures the split second moments off the Australian coast and regularly gets beaten in the head by his 5kg, specially adapted camera for his troubles. Mark, from Sydney, Australia, came up with the idea of photographing waves underwater after becoming frustrated with ‘normal’ surf photography, and wanted to capture the moments from a different perspective. He said: “During a flat spell in Sydney I shot a few small waves with people swimming off to the side. “The results were pretty graphic and led to people swimming becoming the focus of the series, which was against my initial intention but looked great. Most of the people I photograph are just enjoying themselves at the beach and I ask them if they’d mind being in a picture. I tell them what I’m doing and show them a few photos and mostly they’re amazed. Most of the time I come off worse than the people I’m shooting, generally I’m looking sidewards to track where they are in relation to where the wave is, and tend to pay more attention to them than the wave; which can rock me pretty hard. I’m pretty comfortable underwater from years of surfing, and can ride out the waves breaking overhead. “Most of the credit has to be paid to the camera though, I’d be lying if I didn’t say that most of the time I hold the shutter down and point in the general direction of the people. The housing is about the size of a shoebox, and weighs about 5 kilograms, heavy enough to hurt when it hits me in the head. “I guess it’s transformed from a simple idea of seeing how the waves look underwater to how people adapt and what they go through when diving under waves.” Prints can be purchased from; www.theunderwaterproject.com

Cutting Edge Beauty Tara Palmer-Tomkinson reportedly wants surgery on her nose before she attends the Royal Wedding, and cosmetic procedures are on the rise. This feature looks at popular treatments, the reasons people turn to surgery and how much it can cost.

s/s 2011
At the end of the day, it's about the patient's wellbeing, not just the surgery. Douglas McGeorge
Most women would buy a new dress if they were invited to a posh party, but Tara Palmer-Tomkinson isn't most women - and she reportedly wants a new nose before she attends the Royal Wedding in April. An extreme way to look good for a special event perhaps, but Tara, who has already had one nose job to repair the damage caused by her former cocaine habit, is now said to want a straighter profile. The socialite isn't alone in wanting surgery. Whether it's for a big event or not, cosmetic procedures - both surgical and non-surgical - are on the rise, despite the current gloomy economic climate. Market analysts Mintel estimate that 19 million adults (48%) would like some form of cosmetic surgery and while treatments dipped at the start of the economic downturn, the market grew 17% between 2008 and 2010. At present the bulk of cosmetic procedures in Britain are non-surgical.

designed to bring people in for the benefit of the clinic." Prospective patients should also be cautious about going abroad for cheaper treatments, as other countries don't always have the strict safety measures of Britain. A good surgeon should behave ethically and make it clear to a patient what treatment can achieve, he underlines. In the case of liposuction, for example, he explains it should be emphasised that the procedure isn't an alternative to dieting. Comprehensive consultations before any procedure are vital, he stresses, and surgeons should tell people to go away and think again if they have a deeper problem which surgery won't fix: "It's about making sure the patient's expectations can be met - and alarm bells can start ringing early on. "Surgery is only enhancing a physical form. If you have a psychological problem, it's not going to treat it. "At the end of the day, it's about the patient's wellbeing, not just the surgery."

This project by Argentinean architects, Andres Remy was a great challenge for the Studio, positioned neatly between two other buildings, space had to be used intelligently as well as creatively. In order to get some privacy the house mostly features views from the inside rather from the outside. The living, kitchen and dining rooms all expose the garden that penetrates all volumes of the house. The bedrooms are located in the east overlooking the heart of the house, the garden, allowing views to the pièce de rÊsistance - the over ground swimming pool.

s/s 2011
The house, designed for a young couple with children distorts the conventional plans of an urban house. A large stone wall flanks the house, engulfed by soft flowing water to create a soft transition from street to dwelling. In this project, the impact of the sun’s path was carefully studied, especially when considering the placement of the swimming pool. One more time, water takes a big role in the creation of this house. This time the swimming pool is elevated from the ground creating a striking glass wall that allows views from within and the outside, creating views from different points in the house and focal point outside the house, in stunning colours depending on light at the time of day.

The house is formed vertically, with bedrooms located in the east overlooking the heart of the house, the garden. The top floor features a spa; having a jacuzzi, sauna and a gym with an exterior space, a private haven for the owners. This Project goes beyond the rigid setting in which it find itself, it translates the urban setting into a natural home subtly. It pushes the boundaries of the conventional urban home to a spacious dwelling where one has the best of both, the natural and the urban setting.

On 9 February 2011, Times journalist Sarah Vine wrote in an article entitled ‘Lingerie shopping for dummies’: “How many times have I gazed longingly at some delectably lacy bit of lingerie, only to be told that “I’m sorry, Madam, that style only goes up to a C cup”. Once you get into the fourth letter of the alphabet, it’s inchthick straps and ugly flesh tones all the way”, she mused. It is precisely this ubiquitous issue that Beaujais hopes to solve. Lingerie for fuller busts needn’t be unwieldy or bland. Beaujais believe that it can be beautiful and directional, feminine and sexy.

THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR ALL OF YOUR HOMES AND YOUR YACHT - OF COURSE! Auf Wiedersehen and Ciao to all those pre-conceptions you may have about beautiful kitchens and bathrooms exclusively coming from Germany and Italy! At last one can experience the European finesse, class, design and ergonomics at a cost that turns an eyewatering expense into an affordable luxury. That is thanks to the family-run business that is Kitchen and Bathroom Haven - of Canford cliffs in Dorset and Ringwood in Hampshire, flying the British manufacturing flag. A Haven indeed! From start to finish it’s a haven of advice on design and products. And don’t worry you can still choose from those top European names or from the beautiful self-manufactured products crafted in the state-ofthe-art factory in Ringwood – this is all about choice. Kitchens and bathrooms all on display – three floors of displays in Canford Cliffs and a 12,000sq ft factory and showroom in Ringwood – this site showing off some of the most stunning and elegant bathroom and kitchen examples and concepts in the South and it’s open to the public and trade – there are no secrets or surprises here! The Ringwood factory is home to over £400,000 of machinery assisting in the production of aweinspiring cabinets, facias, doors, drawers and complete collections of kitchen and bathroom installations finished to the very highest standards of bespoke design and mechanic. Kitchen and bathroom Haven’s soft close, blum hinges and solid carcasses made at the Ringwood factory have homes in Chelsea, Knightsbridge and Westminster – you’re in fine company. If you have a specific design or product in mind you are likely to find it at Kitchen and Bathroom Haven – for example it has one of the largest Duravit displays in the UK – this means choice and price assets that you won’t find elsewhere in the South. At the other end of the spectrum – perhaps you desire pure Poggenpohl? This also is no problem for Kitchen and Bathroom Haven – your wish is their command. Use Kitchen and Bathroom Haven for either the top names in the world of kitchens and bathrooms or for stunning hand manufactured cabinets and craftsmanship from a UK factory. And of course with the favourable changes in the weather – Kitchen and Bathroom Haven has been known to take to the high seas more than once – it’s the perfect choice even for your yacht! www.kitchenhaven.co.uk
