In fact, in many ways, it’s the complete opposite.

Catch a date in 50 seconds

Fancy climbing out a window to escape a date? In your average day, you see so many different faces yet no-one really talks to each other. Lots of single pringles are still waiting to find their perfect match; but human nature takes its toll with nerves kicking in on the first date and many of the UK unsure how to even start talking to someone.

Devon photographer's stunning images

Inspired by the work of artist Marc Chagall and loving the fluid feel of his abstract paintings, Devon wedding photographer Rosie Anderson wanted to create something similar in a series of photographs.

It was instantly apparent to me that something about being underwater changed things and made that connection really intense, which was weird because there is absolutely nothing romantic about an underwater shoot!

"Underwater photography obviously requires a...
