I Don’t Shoot Weddings… But I DO Love a Good Story
I’m not a wedding photographer. I don’t shoot weddings but I am a sucker for a good story.
After inadvertently finding myself in the centre of someone else’s love story I recently made a rare exception.
Spanish Wine Trade Event Photography, Ibérica Leeds
A couple of months ago I was asked to shoot trade event photography for a wine tasting event at Ibérica in Leeds.
Wines from Spain invited the Yorkshire trade and press to taste around 200 Spanish wines from a variety of styles and regions. The event had a walk-round tasting in the main restaurant space based around four themed tasting tables as well as Spanish wine masterclasses held on the first floor. It was a busy event with lots happening so it was a dream to shoot.
The Legacy of Photography – Creating Work with Purpose
As a photographer I’m always striving to create meaningful work with purpose. But how do you measure meaning? What constitutes purpose? How do you define the legacy of photography?
A fantastic thing happened to me recently while I was shooting a campaign that really got me thinking about the meaning and purpose of the photography I produce. What will my legacy of photography look like?
Campaign Photography for Leeds Hospitals Charity
I recently had the pleasure of working with Leeds Hospitals Charity, shooting campaign photography promoting the message of hope.
I was asked to shoot photography supporting their legacy giving campaign. This specific campaign focussed on the theme ‘Keeping hope alive’ and aimed to encourage people to leave a gift to the charity in their will to support their ongoing work.
