Making the most of rare bank holiday sunshine
Bank holidays in the UK are generally synonymous with rain so on the rare occasion we’re blessed with good weather, it’s always a good idea to grab it with both hands.
Shadow & Light Monthly #1
Shadow & Light is a list of curated photography stories, features, techniques, news and inspiration that I’ve come across this month.
I love to read articles on photography, especially those that give some insight into how people approach their art. It can be incredibly helpful for a creative brain to be constantly on the lookout for inspiring work and insight into the creative approach others take to their work.
Timeless family photography at the Great British Seaside
Ah the Great British Seaside… Fish & chips, buckets & spades, ice cream, arcades, donkey rides, sun (sometimes). What’s not to love?
Last week we spent a fab weekend in Filey on the beautiful Yorkshire coast. A big anniversary meant an opportunity for everyone to get together for some quality family time.
Beautiful black & white photography capturing the magic of childhood
My love of photography has always been driven by a desire to capture images of my family.
I first picked up a camera as a child and was immediately hooked on the magic of being able to capture a fraction of a second for ever. However, it wasn’t until I became a dad that I really appreciated how precious these moments really were.
The Daily Express coverage of my cystic fibrosis book
I’m in today’s edition of the Daily Express newspaper here in the UK, talking about my book project.

Nine Lives Saved – The Transplant Gallery for Yorkshire’s Be A Hero organ donation campaign
It’s been a real privilege to work with Hatch Communications and Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust this week on Yorkshire’s ‘Be A Hero’ organ donation campaign.
Each one of us has the ability to save up to nine lives and this week I’ve been shooting portraits of nine inspiring individuals who have been gifted a second chance at life with an all-important organ transplant.
Shooting Rosie – An inspirational young athlete representing GB at the World Transplant Games
This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Rosie – an inspirational 9 year old girl who a few years ago was incredibly poorly with leukemia. After a successful bone marrow transplant she’s now fighting fit and training hard as she prepares to represent Great Britain at the World Transplant Games 2019 in Newcastle and Gateshead during 17-21st August 2019.
Chasing the winter light
Happy new year to you! I hope you had a fantastic break over Christmas.
Like a lot of people we love to get out for a walk to blow away the cobwebs during the weird limbo period between Christmas and New Year.
We’re really fortunate to live where we do as we have plenty of green spaces to explore. One of our favourites is Newmillerdam, a fantastic country park just down the road with a large central lake surrounded by a 1.5 mile path as well as open woodlands.
