Powerful photography and video services
Professional photography and video services including Portrait Photography, Brand photography, Corporate photography, Event photography, Fashion photoshoots, Product photography and Food photography.
Yorkshire photographer working in Leeds, Bradford, Manchester and London. I’m available to work wherever you need me to be.
As a photographer and now also a video creator, 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 or a 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 content that I am proud to give to you.
See below a mixture of the projects I have enjoyed crafting in the last few months and years. Let me know how I can help you?
Triathlete photoshoot
In preparation for a later shoot in the day, my friend and assistant Scott brought in his new kit to practice the set up with the lights. I wanted to go for a very minimal look, just a few catch lights to edge his form in the shot.
Cycle Track race
A quick race at the Brownlee Cycle Track on a fairly sunny day was the perfect way to prepare for the Tour of Britain cycling race coming up in a weeks time. Great to see how enthusiastic and passionate local cyclists can be at a fairly small scale event, willing to put their all in for the finishing jersey.
Athlete portraits
Always fantastic to photograph athletes away from the course or race track, this one was fun too playing around with some ideas of leaping around and then the more serious moody style of portraits. An absolute pleasure working with Alex and Nick, I wish them every success on their journey to the top.
Cyclocross photography – Yorkshire points – Wakefield
Another weekend, another cyclocross race, this time in Wakefield. With rain expected for the afternoon i was prepared for the worst, or for me as a photographer, best conditions for a photograph. However the sun had different ideas and quickly became a lovely Autumnal afternoon. What better way to spend a Sunday, sitting in the mud waiting for these inspiring athletes to ride past.
Superleague Triathlon photography
Exciting new format to the triathlon world – Superleague has already made a huge impact. For me as a photographer a great event to shoot in a relatively small space. I was asked along to capture not only the race but behind the scenes too, following the athletes around on the island as they took part 4 days before the race in various activities.
Sustrans - Tandem cycle ride
I was delighted to be invited to shoot for Sustrans and to capture some tandem riders making the most of the cycle routes and pathways around Harrogate. The riders were a mixture of volunteers who helped steer those with disabilities. The evening of the shoot we were blessed with lovely warm Spring weather. Lovely cycle routes, great weather, what more could you ask for.
Triathlete photoshoots
Great session with a monster of an athlete but a real gentle giant too. With these shoots I’m trying to capture each person looking their very best as they train to be the best. I spend time before each pose, directing him and making him clear on what I wanted from his emotional state as well as physical state. I really wanted to capture China’s ambition and commitment that’s clear to see in his eyes. I’m looking forward to the 3rd and final session with him in the water and wish him the very best in his journey to the top.

Running photography – Peco XC Roundhay 2018
Great to see a huge amount of runners for the Peco XC running event at Roundhay on a frosty morning. The fist race the kids brought enthusiasm and huge smiles as they crossed the line, the seniors finished mustering only relief with tired legs in very slippery conditions. I have such admiration for everyone who competed.
Cyclo-Cross National Trophy - Bradford photography
Absolute amazing day for cyclocross photography, snow cloud skies with occasional flurries of snow, huge amount of riders to trudge the course up and yes, acres of mud. Temperatures didn’t raise much above 1° but as a cyclocross photographer was an absolute pleasure seeing these heroic athletes perform in atrocious conditions. Well done all!
Tour de Yorkshire photography
With a mix up with accreditation I thought to make the best of a bad situation was to visit the most local place the Tour de Yorkshire passes/finishes in Ilkley. Walking around the huge crowds I looked for the moments, the interesting and quirky before the riders arrived. With the drive to get some shots of the riders up close I managed to sneak past the security to get my usual place in and amongst as the riders recovered from a devastating final hill finish.
Thai-Boxing gym
It’s a real privilege to be given the right to join people in what they do, letting me go amongst and photographing whatever catches my eye. Huge thanks to Scott for letting me into his gym and the guys who let me share their time during some pretty intense training. This is the first session and the guys were getting much more used to me being around after the first couple of hours. Next sessions I want to find out more about them, take some photographs of the characters within.
Tom Bell mountain bike photography
Great couple of mornings with Tom Bell following him around on his mountain bike, getting generally filthy and wet but I love this job and meeting and working with great people like Tom is a pleasure!!!
Tour of Britain photography
It was a great experience to not only photograph the Tour of Britain this year but even better from the inside of a team as we crossed the country. Team Cylance from America commissioned me to document their journey from every vantage point, from the early morning massages, to the pursuing cars behind the peloton to welcome them back after each stage on the finishing lines. I photographed the sights and smells of the moving circus known as the tour, capturing the teams gritty performances as they as the minnows of the race fought to stay with the main pack. Thank you all for making me so very welcome to the team.
Cyclocross photography – Yorkshire points – Halifax
The weekends cyclocross race was cold and wet. Super full of possibilities for me and my camera but a real test for the riders. The location was fab, lots of different horizons and types of shots. I decided to follow the light as it passed through the trees in the boggiest part of the course. The glimpses of the riders faces as they endured the course was what i wanted to capture in the rays of sunlight that filtered through. Huge appreciation for everyone who raced.
Runner portraits
Put simply, I found some runners who inspire me with their ability and dedication to the sport and got them running around to then place them in front of the camera and photograph the moment between adrenaline awesomeness and exhaustion. These guys radiate something I cant explain but hope I’ve captured..?
Cycling brand photography - Lusso
Lusso is a quality cycling clothing brand designed and made in Manchester. John the owner was a pleasure to work with putting this together, indeed a gentleman and wish him and his longtime brand continued success. What was great about the shoot were the models, they were all pretty amazing riders in their own right and seeing the scars on their bodies told many stories.

Cyclocross photography – Yorkshire points – Huddersfield
It’s always exciting going to a new sporting event I’ve not done before. I fell in love with cycling photography only in the last year but seeing cyclocross has added double to my passion to shoot more. I love the format of the races, i like the range of athletes competing from young riders to seniors, ranging from a fun ride to real aggressive competing. With the rain falling i cant wait for the next race and to see some mud on faces 🙂
Cyclocross photography – Yorkshire points – Bingley
Frosty start to this race only 10mins from my door so how could i say no.
