Another week gone which means another instalment of our pictures of the week. There have been so many amazing uploads but as always we’ve highlighted 5 of our favourites…

Why we think this is great: Of course we had to include a picture of Harry and Meghan after the beautiful Royal Wedding this weekend. We had hundreds of images sent in to us but we just loved this genuine moment between the couple.

Why we think this is great: It was mental health awareness week last week and the whole ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏoffice got involved. Just looking at this image makes me feel Zen and we love how natural it is. The use of black and white works really well with this image and the fact that it’s a growing trend is also a bonus.

Why we think this is great: Having studied zoology I always like to include wildlife photography whenever I get the chance but I fell in love with this little guy. Good macro photography is something we need more of and this is a great example, he even looks quite friendly, in my eyes anyway.

Why we think this is great: I’m sure you’ve heard us bang on about authentic lifestyle imagery (if you haven’t where have you been?) and this image sums it up pretty well. The shot is in the moment and really captures their cheeky personalities

Why we think this is great: This weekend was a scorcher in the UK and this ice cream would have been very welcomed. Darker low key images that give a luxury feel is something we are in need of so this definitely fits the bill.
If 5 images aren’t enough you can view a bunch of great images submitted in the last week here. Motivated to get uploading this week?
