Back in May, I shared the first photographs from my work with Butterfly Conservation and Leeds City Council on the Leeds Wild Spaces project.
Five months and seven shoots later, the project has now come to a close. With so many different activities, people and environments involved, I wanted to share a little more about the project and bring together some of my favourite photographs from across the seven shoots, alongside an insight into my approach to documenting the work.
From Planting to Project Celebration
You may remember that back in May I shared a blog post introducing my work on the Leeds Wild Spaces project, following the first couple of shoots documenting plug planting and seed sowing across Leeds.
Since then, I’ve continued working alongside Butterfly Conservation to capture the project as it developed throughout spring and summer, photographing everything from wildlife identification workshops and school activities to butterfly walks, moth trapping and the final celebration event at Leeds City Museum in August.
It’s been a hugely rewarding project to be involved with, combining my love of natural, documentary photography with opportunities to explore the smaller details of the natural world through macro photography.
