The directory showcases graphic design, art, books, magazines, film and music, photography, portraits, fashion, architecture, interiors, hotels and travel, products & toys - alongside The English Group's own categories, ‘Travelling’ and 'Our Work' (‘Our Print’ and ‘Our Websites’), which illustrate the team's own travels and a full chronological listing of the agency's creative work.

— 360º photography by Randy Scott
Randy Scott is an American photographer whose latest work is spectacular, capturing hundreds of images from various angles which are then digitally stitched together for just one composition. The resulting fisheye style images are so interesting, taking a landscape or a cityscape to new levels of beauty and intrigue. Some of the landscapes look almost unreal or fantasy like.

— Underwater Photography by Kanoa Zimmerman
Fabulous, original work here by photographer Kanoa Zimmerman, whose underwater photographs are unlike any I’ve seen before. Stepping aside from the usual ‘fish’ shots, Zimmerman focusses on capturing classic portraits of people and landscapes under the sea. Grainy, toothy, fantastic. This collection is called Free Dive.
