October News

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.
