Shadow & Light Monthly #84
Shadow & Light is a list of curated photography stories, features, techniques, news and inspiration that I’ve come across this month.
In this edition we take to the skies with this year’s best aerial photography, step inside the creation of what is believed to be the world’s largest photograph, revisit the enduring legacy of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s “decisive moment”, and celebrate documentary photography that places people and stories at its heart. From breathtaking perspectives to pioneering photographic processes, this month’s selection is a reminder that great photography is about far more than the camera in your hands.

When TopCatch Goalkeeping and Kick On Academy invited me to film their first joint goalkeeper camp featuring Leeds United goalkeeper Alex Cairns, it combined two of my worlds perfectly.

Capturing Christmas at Gaucho Liverpool
A few weeks ago I was commission by Gaucho Liverpool to document their beautifully considered Christmas decorations both inside the restaurant and across its exterior frontage.

Escaping to Northumberland: A Photographic Journey
Northumberland has always been one of our favourite places to visit. Its vast skies, rugged coastlines and timeless landscapes offer the perfect backdrop for slowing down, spending time together as a family and capturing photographs just for myself.
