Unity Day 2015
Reading Time: 2 minutesChild free this year I managed a decent amount of photography at this year’s Unity Day. As ever it was a good event with lots of varied things to see and some awesome music.
...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Event Photography
Posts and photosets related to event photography, whether festivals, fairs, clubs, gigs, parades etc. There is of course a natural crossover with other themes and projects here.
Red Tie Ball
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis is a charity event I shot recently for Elliot’s Footprint – a charity providing support for parents after losing a child. I have decided black tie (or even red tie) events are the most difficult thing to shoot as you usually have black suits …
Light Night
Reading Time: 2 minutesAn event I always try and get to is the annual Night Light in Leeds, where various art installations and projections take over the city. I was all set to be really organised this year and plot a sensible path through the events, especially as …
Hyde Park Unity Day
Reading Time: 2 minutesI’ve been ridiculously busy recently, rearranging and redecorating my house, so not had a lot of time to either shoot, or even get things on the site. But, slightly delayed, here are a few recent shots. Each year I try and do some shooting for …

On the tour, in the main room we we hard-hatted and required to walk to a ‘safe area’ without stopping, just in case anything fell…
Light Night 2013

Luddite 200
Reading Time: 3 minutesI was invited to come and document this gig at TJ’s in Woodhouse, commemorating 200 year anniversary of the Luddite Rebellion, with Chumbawamba, Dan Audio and some other acts who have slipped my memory. The term Luddite is one often used as an insult and …
