Reading Time: 3 minutes Having lived in Meanwood (for the second time, and for a few years now) the woods are a constant source of pleasure and inspiration, though I never seem to get up into them as much as I would like. These are a couple of sets …
Reading Time: 2 minutes It’s Carnival Time again. Leeds West Indian Carnival takes place every year in Chapeltown on Potternewton Park. It’s great, there’s not a lot really more to say. Here’s some shots from The Black Music Festival on Sunday night. And here’s some from the Parade on …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Child 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.
Reading Time: 2 minutes This 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 …

Reading Time: 2 minutes I spent the evening on Hallowe’en in a certain old Mill building in Holbeck where Photocamp Leeds had set up a spooky Hallowe’en shoot. I used this to experiment with a few different techniques – wide angle shots, using a Lensbaby for portraits, and off …
Reading Time: 2 minutes An 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 …
Reading Time: 3 minutes I 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, …
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.
