Professional photography
I’ve been looking back at some jobs from a few years ago and found this from 2018. A fantastic job for a client who was working on St Paul’s Cathedral in London. They were removing the bells from one of the bell towers for refurbishment and I was there to photograph this for them.
I love this style of industrial/ editorial photography and would love to do more. I’m going to publish some similar jobs I did in the days and weeks to come so watch this space!
Really great to see my portraits of Manchester restaurant owner Helen Tse used by my client North West Business Insider for its April issue.
Robyn Hewson’s article on the owner of the Sweet Mandarin is excellent.

Happy New Year and thanks to all my amazing clients for making 2022 a fantastic year.
Here are some of my favourite photographs from 2022.
I took thousands of images so deciding on these few was a bit of a task!
There are a few of my favourite portraits / headshots, some architectural, press and PR images. I’ve also included some events I covered and one of the best jobs of the year… the Oldham Coliseum panto!
The images of the Active Tameside outdoor gym were supplied for my client Cornerstone Design & Marketing in Oldham.

It’s been really great to see some fantastic reviews of this year’s panto, Robin Hood, at Oldham Coliseum Theatre.
I photographed the dress rehearsal for them recently and and it’s great to see some of my pictures used to highlight these amazing reviews.
I would highly recommend going to see the pantomime with all the family…. you can book tickets here…..
Thousands of motorcyclists came together today from around the country to take part in the ‘Rings of Red’ campaign for Remembrance Sunday.
This year’s Remembrance ride of respect supported Veteran into Logistics, a non-profit veterans charity.
I spotted these riders from a bridge in Denton, Manchester.

Some of my favourite pictures from last year……
Land Rover Experience West Country
At such a sad time for our country I’ve felt honoured to record the passing of Queen Elizabeth II for Oldham Council and also to see my 30 year old photograph I took for the Oldham Evening Chronicle in 1992 when the Queen visited Oldham. You can see the article here.
Pictured below is the picture that brought back such great memories.
Also pictured is the Mayor of Oldham Councillor Elaine Garry with a floral tribute and signing the book of condolence at the Civic Centre the day after the Queen’s passing.
Later that evening the Civic Centre was bathed in purple light for the period of mourning in tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
I saw the news yesterday about football player Juan Mata ending his time at Manchester United.
It reminded my of the shoot I did with him four years ago for Spanish football magazine Panenka. I’ve met and photographed hundreds of footballers in my 35 year career and I can honestly say in the time I spent with him he was the most courteous, professional and pleasant football player I’ve ever photographed.
