Written In The Margins

Yesterday I photographed the amazing ‘Written in the Margins’ event at The Manchester Jewish Museum. Part of 2016’s feminist Wonder Women Festival , Written in the Margins combined debate, spoken word and performance alongside  a zine-making workshop. Claire Pollard read her interpretation of   Ovid’s Heroides, followed by a fascinating panel debate about women in the music industry with Laura Snapes (editor and music journalist), Vanessa Reed (CEO of PRS Foundation), singer-songwriter Roxanne de Bastion and Chris Long (BBC Manchester Introducing,), and chaired by Stuart Maconie. To finish, an original musical composition, inspired by Ovid’s Heroides, was performed by  Serafina Steer.

You can see my images from the event below.

House of Suarez Sugar Ball 2016 @ Gorilla, Manchester

Last weekend was the annual House of Suarez Vogue Ball at Gorilla in Manchester. It was an incredible night of voguing, dance, fashion and fierceness and an amazing celebration of queer culture. Here are some of my favourite shots from the evening.

Brighter Sound – Young Musicians Week

Last week I had the pleasure of working with Brighter Sound, an organisation that produces creative music projects and events in Manchester. The project was ‘Young Musicians Week’, an opportunity for young people to work with some amazing musicians and artists including Richard Jupp (Elbow), Natalie McCool, Jenna G, InnaVoice and Burgaboy. You can see some of my favourite shots from the week below.

Brighter Sound also organised the Beth Orton residency last year (also featuring Natalie McCool) which culminated in a beautiful group performance at the end of a week of collaboration and songwriting – you can see my photos of their one-night-only gig here.

Favourite Images of 2015

I had a lot of fun in 2015 and took a LOT of pictures. I got to meet and work with a bunch of incredibly lovely people over the past 12 months and I was also lucky enough to photograph some truly beautiful locations and wildlife along the way.  It’s been hard to whittle them down, but here’s a small selection of my favourite shots from last year for your viewing pleasure.

A huge thank you to all my clients, colleagues, friends and family for making 2015 such a great year. Here’s looking forward to an amazing 2016!

The Vernon Sisters

A few weeks ago I was asked to photograph The Vernon Sisters – a trio of hugely talented real life sisters who perform classic songs at events across the UK. This event was at Liverpool’s impressive Rum Warehouse, on the dockside, and included a full backing band and a troupe of dancers. Before the show we were able to squeeze in a quick portrait shoot and, despite being short on time, we ended up with some great shots before their curtain call! A selection of my favourite images from both the portrait shoot and their performance are below. The Vernon Sister’s hair and make up was by the wonderful Bethany Jane Davies and her team at The Vintage Beauty Parlour

Gary & Deri’s Wedding at Connah’s Quay

The incredibly lovely Mr and Mrs White were married on 20th September, 2014  at St Mark’s Church, Connah’s Quay, followed by a reception at the Holiday Inn Chester West Hotel. It was such a lovely day and I had so much fun being their wedding photographer!

Here are a selection of some of my favourite shots from the wedding. If you’re a friend or relative of the happy couple you can view  the full gallery of images from their wedding day here and purchase prints (but you’ll need to ask Gary or Deri for the password).

You can see more of my work in my Wedding Portfolio. If you’d like to make an enquiry about hiring me as your wedding photographer please get in touch! I’d love to hear from you.

Helen & Tony’s beautiful wedding at Ravensheugh Log Cabin, Tyninghame, East Lothian

Last month I had the pleasure of photographing my sister’s wedding, which was held at the extraordinarily beautiful Ravensheugh Log Cabin in Tyninghame, near Dunbar, on the east coast of Scotland. It was an amazing day, filled with love and laughter, and an absolute joy to shoot. Here area  small selection of my favourite shots from the day.

P.S. Friends and family of the happy couple can view the entire gallery, and purchase prints, here – just ask Helen or Tony for the password.

Chorlton Arts Festival 2014

I’ve been photographing Chorlton Arts Festival for a number of years now and it’s always a blast. This year saw a great range of music, theatre, comedy and spoken word events, plus exhibitions and workshops across the M21 postcode. My personal highlight was the Blues & Gospel Tram, which commemorated the 50th anniversary of Muddy Waters, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and others playing an incredible live show at Chorlton Train Station in 1964.

This year I had the pleasure of shooting Rachael Dadd, John Smith, Bells in the Birches and Paper Aeroplanes, as well as the wonderful Blues & Gospel Tram. Here are a small selection of my favourite shots.

(You can see the full galleries for each of these events by following these links:  Rachael Dadd & John Smith, Bell in the Birches & Paper Aeroplanes, Blues & Gospel Tram)
