Every photograph here is matted rather than cropped, so each is shown in its original proportions and complete. Captions describe only what the photograph itself records.

Feature
The working rooms of a foreign ministry.
Most of the photographs below record the ordinary business of the office rather than its ceremonial moments: courtesy calls, credential exchanges, signings and the meetings between them. Read together they describe the shape of a small state's diplomacy — conducted with partners across the Caribbean, the Americas, Europe and Asia.

A note on the plates
Nothing here is cropped.
Photographs on this site are set inside a mat and scaled to fit it, rather than being filled into a frame and trimmed to shape. It means an image occasionally sits with visible margin around it — and it means no face, no gesture and no part of the original composition is ever cut away to suit a layout.
Captions describe what is visible in the photograph. Where an individual, a date or a venue could not be established from a reliable source, it is not named.
