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?

Corporate Headshots, Leeds

Improve your corporate image

Your corporate image, your brand, is an integral part of how you project your business. How others on the outside of your business see you and make judgements, good or bad. So investing in a professional photoshoot is a must to get it looking not just right, but perfect!

As a photographer I have spent years crafting my skills to be able now to speak to a new client, find out what they need pronto, set up a date in the diary and then complete the shoot. Your corporate photography shoot will have virtually no interruption to your busy day.

I have my own small studio if needed but more than happy to come visit you at your office, a location of your choice or if relevant, to your home.

The high quality corporate headshot you will receive will be a bold statement showing who you are and how you go about your business. Your competitors will be envious.

I had a great time creating these Actor Headshots with Phoebe last week in my garden studio. A fairly routine request for some Headshots to use to send to casting agents. We successfully created those along with a few little more creative looks I wanted to add to the session.

When creating Actor Headshots there are some fundamentals regarding the photography. First one of course, the photograph must look like you the actor. I'm sure there's a whole lot of disappointment when it comes to meeting an agent and the shot submitted doesn't quite fit with the person sitting on the chair. It needs to give a clear idea of who this person is, their face shape from multiple angles, showing any piercings, tattoos etc. Also to show what your hair is like, tied up and down (if you have any) along with a longer shot so they can see your body shape.

Brand photography Yorkshire

Really enjoyed this session with Casey, creating some fresh portraits for her to use on her website and help her project her brand as a film producer.

The process began with a friendly chat on the phone. She explained what she wanted and we both came up with keywords that would be useful to keep at the forefront of our minds as we worked together on the day of the shoot. It's easy at times to let things run away with you in the creative process unless you keep focused.

As these portraits needed to be a little more involved and moody than say a standard corporate headshot, I created a lighting set up on track with the brief. Helped also with some inspirational cello music to resonate the tone of the shots.

As a collection, Casey can project to her industry colleagues a set of photographs she's now proud of.

The shoot is an investment. If you get the right person to help it should be a fun experience helping you to feel even better about yourself and maybe a step in the right direction to help you move towards where you want to be.

Portrait photography

Here's a few shots from a recent portrait shoot with Jon. He contacted me to ask if I could help and thought why not explain a little for other future clients about what's involved in getting a portrait shoot.

First off, why not ask the question, 'why do you need a portrait shoot?' Whatever the need for the photograph of yourself, it can simply be just a great way to record who you are and what you look like right now. Something to have and look at fondly in the future or to send on to your gran for her mantlepiece.

Sometimes work comes from out of the blue. While working in Belgium Karen reached out to me to shoot her a new Corporate portrait. The next day searching around found a great location in the hotel I was staying in. It had huge windows letting in some beautiful morning sun. All I needed to do then was speak to Karen in this relaxed situation and shoot away, capturing some formal portraits along with some fun smiling ones.

Headshots

Corporate headshots can have many uses, pitch documents for tenders or perhaps friendly approachable photographs for your website. The mood of the shots of course needs to be completely professional but it only takes moments to double up and have slightly more relaxed poses showing you and your company in a more approachable and personal way. It takes me 30 minutes to set up a shoot then each members photographs only minutes to complete, giving you stunning photography without disrupting your valuable time.

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…

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.

Portraits during lockdown

It such a pleasure meeting new people and becoming new friends. This shoot photographing a local family while in lockdown on what seemed like the hottest day of the year was a delight. Each member of the family gave me complete direction to tell them what to do. Each and everyone delivered exactly what was in my mind. Initially I didn’t like the shots, couldn’t understand why but as time has gone on I really like the tone and simplicity to them. I look forward once we leave this crazy time to meet up with the family and continue our new friendships.

Ballet portrait photoshoot

I really enjoy meeting new people, finding out a little about them and on the photoshoot capture something that represents them or something that shines out to me. However meeting up with old friends is pretty cool too. I have shot Sarah before but this time was with her daughter Honey. At the moment I'm experimenting with lights and processes along with trying to develop a style of portraiture for this kind of shoot. It's defo work in progress but like the way it's going so far. There's a stillness to the shots, even though she was acting out ballet movements it wanted to capture a precise point in the movement and space. Honey was a delight to work and a huge amount of grace and poise to her ballet but also a very happy teen bursting from the seams.
