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?
Fashion photography - urban fashion shoot
Fashion shoot Halifax. Really enjoyed this fashion shoot with Izzy. Such a pleasure to work with and great in response to my directions. She had found a location that screams for attention and use in photography and dropping her into this space was inspired, beauty surrounded by rubble.

Sportswear and Activewear Photographer
Photographing Sportswear. I have the pleasure of meeting some great people as a photographer. Sometimes I work with people more than once and working with India is a real treat for sure! The usual route to creating sportswear photography begins with myself coming up with a moodboard to show the model what it is I intend on shooting. It can included ideas for poses and kit. Then on the day we just have fun creating, working with the space we have available, the sportswear and the direction I choose. With a model with great poise and form as an athlete the job becomes way easier. Then its up to me to find the direction and mood of the photoshoot.
Sport fitness photography
Whenever there is a quiet spot, in between shoots I love to contact a model and just photograph for the love of the job and to create something I am proud of. Also a great way to show future clients my work and passion for the process of creating fitness photography, brand photography lookbooks etc. I have photographed Lucy before but weather stopped short that session. This time we had the time and weather to photograph some brand lifestyle photography to help fill up her modeling portfolio. For me fashion photography and sports fitness photography it’s all about making the gear look as good as it can. To create clean imagery that highlights the quality of the garments in whatever the situation. To put it through some rigorous activity as well as posed shots to show it looks cool too.
Leeds - Fashion photography lookbook
Shooting fashion lookbooks don't need to be expensive to produce. Finding a good location, perhaps in someone's home can work really well, as I did with the shoot with Tanya. I noticed on her timeline her spare bedroom, nice and clean with white walls and some amazing sun coming through the windows later in the day.
Lookbooks can be a great way to create content for your website and social media platforms.

Portraits during lockdown
It such a pleasure meeting new people and becoming new friends. This shoot photographing a local family while in lockdown on what seemed like the hottest day of the year was a delight. Each member of the family gave me complete direction to tell them what to do. Each and everyone delivered exactly what was in my mind. Initially I didn’t like the shots, couldn’t understand why but as time has gone on I really like the tone and simplicity to them. I look forward once we leave this crazy time to meet up with the family and continue our new friendships.
Fashion photography shoot Leeds
Fashion shoot Leeds. Beautiful weather (for a change), great new model to work with and endless ideas.
Zhane isn’t a model, all ideas and direction from myself.
Ballet portrait photoshoot
I really enjoy meeting new people, finding out a little about them and on the photoshoot capture something that represents them or something that shines out to me. However meeting up with old friends is pretty cool too. I have shot Sarah before but this time was with her daughter Honey. At the moment I'm experimenting with lights and processes along with trying to develop a style of portraiture for this kind of shoot. It's defo work in progress but like the way it's going so far. There's a stillness to the shots, even though she was acting out ballet movements it wanted to capture a precise point in the movement and space. Honey was a delight to work and a huge amount of grace and poise to her ballet but also a very happy teen bursting from the seams.
Fashion photography Leeds - urban street
The warmer weather has arrived, time to photograph without goosebumps on the models. :)
Steffi and I have worked together before and will do again I’m sure. This session was short and sweet just playing around with a couple of t-shirts, skirt and trousers. Keeping it simple to just play with mood and style.
Style/mood and direction came from myself.
Fashion photographer Leeds
Located centrally in the UK, creating editorial fashion and lookbooks. I'm always hungry for the next fashion shoot, meeting new clients and upcoming models to create stunning brand photography. Quality of the photography is always paramount giving my clients 100% on the day of the fashion shoot through to finishing up on the edits.
Fashion photographer UK
I’m always on the lookout to work with new people, to create something fresh. Sometimes I have a really strong idea of a style and look to a shoot and based on that hunt for someone to match. This shoot and style pointed to a new friend, Kate who not only made the clothes I bought for the shoot look great but took direction perfectly. Bang on my brief and very happy with the results. Such a pleasure to work with and already have new shoot ideas to work on together.
Sports shoe product photography
I spent two days putting together this shoot, the first day experimenting with lighting, adding powder explosions then compositing them all together. I guess a way to test if it was going to work all together when I did it for real. The second day I photographed the new shoe and put this piece together. A nice challenge to do something a little dramatic, beyond just photographing a product with lights. Hopefully showing off skills in photographing the product and then putting the final design together.
Food photography
More studio work while in lockdown, this time making some studio moody food photography suitable i suppose for use in books, online blogs etc. For me its all about the image, it doesn’t matter what the subject matter quality production is my key focus. With a lengthy background in design I completely understand how the photography needs to work well for your brand and how to produce it working its best for print and online.
I look forward to creating more food photography and product photography in the next few weeks and hopefully finding some new clients to work together with. If you require some food photography and looking for a new creative approach, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Cycling photography
Always great to catch up with Tom, this time I put him in the studio environment. I played around with a light and dark set up to create a couple of moods.
Sport fitness photography London
I was invited to shoot some sports fitness photography for Tala for a new range of kit down in London. Early March for a fitness photoshoot is always a challenge and the cold weather didn't disappoint. While sharing the 3 models with the other team of videographers the challenge was to not get in each others way and be seen in the background. A mixture of inside and outside was needed but the cold was hard to deal with for the models. I needed to find a nifty solution. As I wandered around the facility I noticed some areas where sports equipment was being stored. The added benefit being what sun there was helped make this space warm against the huge windows. This space made for some nice contrasty sports fitness photography shots against the netting and the large windows became softboxes creating lovely light. WIN! You have to make the jobs and situations you find yourself in and as a photographer its always helped by some creative thinking!
Clay shooting photography
Always a pleasure working with Hull Cartridge on their shooting days. The photography ranges from telling the story of the day's events, product advertising shots for magazine etc to a few portraits on the fly to add to their website and blog pages. Great bunch of people on the team who always make me feel one of the gang and to the shooters they sponsor. I look forward to the coming events on the calendar.

Sport fitness photographer
I'd been commissioned to shoot a new range of kit for a sports fitness brand and wanting to make the most of my trip to London hooked up with a model the day before. Conditions were far from ideal for sports bras and shorts, bitterly cold to the bone. Huge respect to the model for her commitment to her trade. A mutually beneficial meeting to add to our portfolios.
The client shoot the next day was not any better for those models weather wise but at least we were all getting paid for it.
Cycling Sportswear and Activewear Photography
Activewear photography is probably my favourite thing to shoot for my range of clients. It’s that mix of partially sports and partially fashion photography combined. The balance is to create activewear photography that makes the product look great while the athletes/models are using it. My preferred look and mood is when the athletes just do their thing and I’m floating around, laying by the side of a road or ahead photographing them as they scale a mountain. Or photographing them in between sessions as they munch on bars and take a drink, just hanging out as cyclists do, hanging off their handlebars. I think getting the right models/athletes for the job is vital to give it the right mood/tone and voice. For most jobs the model selection is led by myself to help the client. If the models have been chosen well then my job becomes much easier and the brand style rises to the top. This particular shoot I was invited to photograph the new range of gear over a long weekend in southern Spain. Springtime can be lovely their but on this occasion the weather was little up and down. In a couple of days we photographed a large range of gear in standing posed scenarios and of course some fun photographing them climbing up and down the local mountain range
Grime photography - Leeds
Grime photography stands out for me, the music and the artists who create. It has a relative short history alongside other music types but in its short time a real defined feel to everything about it, to the music of course but also those who produce it. How they look, behave and the culture of the scene. My aim initially is to photograph the local grime artists in Leeds and maybe document the places they produce their work including shooting the head to head battles. From there who knows, London is where it all started so maybe my work will take me there too.
