Happy October everyone, hope you are all enjoying the Autumnal feel. Here’s a little look back on the photoshoots from this time last year.
Starting with another look at a few of the images from my time at Kirklees College in Huddersfield. I loved being in the Forensics and Criminal Investigations Department! I tried not to get too carried away with the yellow CSI tape and the fake blood, but it was quite fun to play around with. Fairly challenging to photograph the students when I could only see their eyes, but I think we made it work. We also visited Adult Education, ESOL and Uniformed Protective Services.
More images from my commercial photoshoot with the British Red Cross to illustrate their First Aid Training Courses. Doing the photography did involve picking up a few first aid tips but I really should book onto one of the BRC’s courses for a complete education. All of the photography was closely supervised and approved by a highly trained first aid practitioner who was invaluable on the photoshoot.
I visited Harper Green School in Bolton to photograph the students and staff, learning, interacting and generally enjoying school. It’s a really lovely school and it was easy to get the children involved and interested in what I was doing. The music teacher in particular was a real star who brought lots of infectious enthusiasm with him. The photography will be used to help illustrate website pages and prospectuses and to generally promote the school.
Lastly, I visited a lovely school in my home town of Huddersfield – Moor End Academy. It only took me 15 minutes to get there which was a real treat. I even bumped into a few people I know while on the photoshoot. The pupils were really easy to work with and glad to be involved. I worked with Susan, who organised the schedule and helped me on the day. We were looking to get lots of photography of the students working hard, interacting with each other and enjoying the school environment for the website and prospectus.
I spent half a day with Joe and his team at Soteria Fire Protection in Huddersfield to create branding photography for their website and general promotion and marketing. Soteria provides expert fire safety solutions across the north. We started with headshots against a mid grey background, wearing branded t-shirts of all the staff. Then moved onto more editorial style portraits of Joe

Read moreHarper Green School is part of Leverhulme Academy Trust and we worked together to create positive, happy and natural shots of the pupils engaged in lessons and interacting with each other. Occasionally adding in a posed portrait that will work really well alongside a quote or a case study in the prospectus.
Read moreI 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!
