Shutter Dragging in the Woods

Reading Time: 2 minutesI went for a little walk up in the woodland of Meanwood park the other day, and decided to limit myself to my Canon 1000D and a simple 50mm prime lens. I did a few portraits of my family, but also had a little play 

Hallowe’en in Space

Hallowe’en in Space

Reading Time: 2 minutesFor one of the regular nights I shoot at, Remedy, Hallowe’en is the big one where they pull out all the stops to create a crazy and over the top event. I produced nearly 150 images from this event – this is just a small 

Light Night

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 

Ela Orleans at Wharf Chambers

Ela Orleans at Wharf Chambers

Reading Time: 3 minutesI was invited down to this lovely intimate gig at Wharf Chambers to shoot a set of images capturing the night. Something a little more chilled than many of the events I shoot for this project – I almost didn’t include it on this site,

Summer Fêtes

Summer Fêtes

Reading Time: 2 minutes…I have been shooting at the Elliot’s Footprint summer fete in Meanwood; a fundraiser for the charity, which supports parents after the loss of a child.

Though I had a lovely time, I have to say this was one of the most difficult shoots in have done for a long time…

Le Grand Depart

Le Grand Depart

Reading Time: 2 minutes…so Le Grand Depart on my doorstep was always going to be something I’d take a look at.

But a bit of a challenge it was, as I had the small toddler in tow…

Temple Works

Temple Works

Reading Time: 2 minutes…designed by Joseph Bonomi the Younger and built by John Marshall between 1836 and 1840, it boasts a two acre main space, and apparently is pretty unique (at least for the time) in that it is held up under both compression and tension.
