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?
Musician portrait
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.

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.
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.

Personal portraits
Personal portrait sessions are such a nice thing to work on, even when the bad weather plays its part. Its as simple as choosing a location and date and walking around to find locations to shoot in. Relaxed, no pressures, just creating photographs together. Simple right?
