More Waterfront Adventures

Canals and waterfronts are some of my favourite places to shoot, and I am working on a long term project to shoot the canal network in West Yorkshire. Some of this I manage to do with the toddler in tow, as these in Wakefield, where there is also a lovely play park outside the Hepworth Gallery. I’ll also add quickly, that when we went into the gallery, I was very impressed with the sensitivity with which they spoke to me about my camera, and outlined politely where and which artworks they were happy for me to photograph and where not, which is a pleasant change.

I will be making these into a book some time. What is interesting is the differences in my editing style since I started – I have moved towards a much more bold and high contrast style for these shoots enhancing the mood of these often industrial settings.
