Yorkshire photographer working in Leeds, Bradford, Manchester and London. Available to work wherever you need me to be.

For me as a photographer and now also creating video, working predominantly in Leeds and Bradford, it’s ALL about the quality of work. To create something visually dramatic, perhaps emotive alongside those key essentials to make sure the photograph or video is doing and saying the right thing for the brief. Whether it’s a corporate headshot, brand photoshoot, sports kit needing to be photographed, my attention to the important details never wavers.

My standards for quality production are as high as can be and you will only ever get photography or video that I am proud of to give to you. 

See below a mixture of the projects I have enjoyed crafting in the last few months and beyond.

I've been busy 10+ years now and the job still excites me. Let me know how I can help you?

Actor portraits

Actor portraits

A huge drive for me at the moment is to photograph people and who better than to work with actors creating real moody actor photography. Working with good actors means we can immediately get to the zone of look and feel. Really explore a character portrait and work to perfect it. For me the skill is to understand what we need to achieve from the character portrait and with the right clothing, actor performance and correct lighting and direction from myself, the results can only be good…

Yacht sailing photography

I say it often but it's always nice to be asked by a client to shoot multiple photography events, year after year. You get a real understanding of what's needed together without too much in the way of repeated instructions. The client knows exactly what they will get from me - the job will be completed well and on time. The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) asked me to shoot a wonderfully sunny weekend at the Rultand Sailing Club for their Sailability yachting races. A weekend of racing for the best para sailors in the country. Actually the first Multiclass event since 2019 after the pandemic. It's great to see the different modifications to each boat to suit the person sailing. The support of family and friends for each competitor is essential to get them what they need to compete. Genuine engineering brilliance created.

My role across the weekend was to capture a mixture of on the water yacht photography on and off the water activities. As always I try to capture moments through the day that tell a little more than just a sporting event. To capture some emotive moments alongside athletic grace. Pretty much the whole of my work is on land but it's always a treat to get on the water.

Cycling Brand Photoshoot

Fat Lad At The Back Brand Photoshoot - Yorkshire

Having good clients is great. They listen to what you suggest and let you do the job they expected from you. Here’s introducing the most lovely northern cycling clothing brand with the honesty and fun personality to capture the imagination of those cyclists who ride with pride and embrace the shape that they are. Making cycling clothing that fits all shapes and sizes. And in true northern style, so very loud and definitely proud!

It’s been my pleasure to work with the team on a few occasions now. This brand clothing photoshoot took place on a cold and damp February morning but whatever the weather, smiles on the Lads & Lasses faces shone through. Here’s looking forward to our future shoots creating together.

Hockey portraits

It was an absolute privilege to shoot for the European Hockey Federation for the Equally Amazing campaign. An opportunity to take portraits of not only some of the best players in the sport but also coaches, referees and board members who were equally eager to campaign for a balance and level playing field for men and women within the field hockey world. I wanted to show a strength and determination of each subject in a serious and positive manner, fitting for the campaign.

Painterly photography portraits

I’ve always had a love for the work of painters like Rembrandt, Vermeer and Frans Hals. I find real joy in looking at how they all worked with the limited light available - from a candle or natural window light. Looking at each piece the light subtly wraps around the subject as the surrounding backdrop fades into darkness giving such a powerful mood to every painting.

For me as a photographer creating painterly portraits has its challenges but applying a similar thought process to the portraits you can produce something not too shabby with help from modern day flash units and some post shoot processing.

After backing up my hard drives realised there are a number of projects I have not published on the site. This is one of those, a really fun day photographing British athletic hopefuls competing under the hot sun. I had great access thanks to a new friend Championships Secretary Fiona Lancaster. So impressive to see the determination and desire from every athlete.

Studio fashion photography - experimental lighting techniques

I’ve had the delight of working with Izzy on a few occasions now, always a pleasure, always attentive to how I want to direct a shoot and how it should look. With this fashion photoshoot I had a very focused idea on lighting in the studio combined with her natural look created something a little different for a fashion shoot I think. In lockdown when work has been less frequent I really enjoy playing and creating something new. Keeps me buzzing as a photographer setting myself personal projects.

Fashion shoot Halifax. Really enjoyed this fashion shoot with Izzy. Such a pleasure to work with and great in response to my directions. She had found a location that screams for attention and use in photography and dropping her into this space was inspired, beauty surrounded by rubble.

Sportswear and Activewear Photographer

Sportswear and Activewear Photographer

Photographing Sportswear. I have the pleasure of meeting some great people as a photographer. Sometimes I work with people more than once and working with India is a real treat for sure! The usual route to creating sportswear photography begins with myself coming up with a moodboard to show the model what it is I intend on shooting. It can included ideas for poses and kit. Then on the day we just have fun creating, working with the space we have available, the sportswear and the direction I choose. With a model with great poise and form as an athlete the job becomes way easier. Then its up to me to find the direction and mood of the photoshoot.

Sport fitness photography

Sport fitness photography

Whenever there is a quiet spot, in between shoots I love to contact a model and just photograph for the love of the job and to create something I am proud of. Also a great way to show future clients my work and passion for the process of creating fitness photography, brand photography lookbooks etc. I have photographed Lucy before but weather stopped short that session. This time we had the time and weather to photograph some brand lifestyle photography to help fill up her modeling portfolio. For me fashion photography and sports fitness photography it’s all about making the gear look as good as it can. To create clean imagery that highlights the quality of the garments in whatever the situation. To put it through some rigorous activity as well as posed shots to show it looks cool too.
