Hello and welcome to my March ’25 news. I hope everyone is doing OK and starting to feel the Spring vibes.
We start with a trip to Edinburgh to photograph students at Preston Lodge High School to capture promotional photography for my client, We Are Futures. NatWest run their varied CareerSense workshops across lots of different educational settings for 13 to 24 year olds. The workshops help students to develop core skills for the future workplace. My job was to capture the energy and interaction between the NatWest Bank Ambassadors and students and the moments of contemplation, concentration and understanding.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m trying to keep this a secret, but I do occasionally do event photography 🙂 Here is an example from an event photography photoshoot I did for Mills and Reeves. I was covering a function at the beautiful Tiled Hall Cafe in Leeds Art Gallery. When I’m doing this sort of photography I feel like I’m on the hunt for smiles and energy. Luckily there were plenty of opportunities at this do. Here is a tip. If you want the photographer to leave you alone – stop laughing and look miserable – they will soon wander on by!
Here are some more examples from my photoshoot at Bury College for GMIoT. My brief was to photograph the students and the teacher using the state of the art equipment to illustrate the benefits to learning. The medical simulation mannequins are amazing, if not a little bit freaky – they do all sorts of unexpected things! I wasn’t overly keen to be in the room alone with them….
Lastly a re-visit to my lovely client iseepr in Leeds. It was for a session of reportage style photography, a big group shot and a few quick headshots.
They are such a nice company, full of positive friendly people who always give me a warm welcome.
Bye for now.

I was invited to spend the day with Mosaic to create some quirky fun headshots that really show the personality of the people and the company. We used 3 different background colours and played around with different expressions and poses and although the office dog took it rather seriously, he does look very handsome :-).
Read moreBox Power asked me to photograph their event to celebrate 10 years in business. Box Power is a UK not-for-profit energy consultancy, where all profits, go back into the community and support good causes. It was a lovely evening, with an amazing fire artist, plus the mayor attended – always the sign of a good ‘do’ in my book!

Read moreI love these portraits for SMRS in Manchester! I had fun photographing about 20 employees and they didn’t need much encouragement to be themselves and let their personalities shine! Dan K worked his magic to transform the background into lots of different versions of their brand identity. I was thrilled with the results :-)
