The first shoot on this week’s Leeds Guide brief was a cover shoot with the up-and-coming Leeds band The Sunshine Underground. They’re one of the headliners for the upcoming Live at Leeds festival on May Bank Holiday ...
Another food shoot I did recently was with Dine Catering Services. They asked me down in association with the Leeds Guide to pap a bit of their food. What appears here to be a little cherry tom is actually a baby toffee apple. Cheeky. ...
My student halls, ‘Broadgate Park‘ at the University of Nottingham were like a young offenders institute (in some blocks for more than aesthetic reasons); with ship-like safetyglass door, frigid bare-brick stairwells ...
Last week I hit the streets of Leeds on Leeds Guide magazine duties, assisted again by my knowledgeable homie Ben Spear of Spear Design As promised (dear readers!) I vowed to shoot a couple of behind the scenes pics to show how I get ...
After yesterday’s spring roll snaps I thought I’d post some actual food & drink photography I’ve shot for the Leeds Guide recently… It’s quite the challenge to make food look appetising. Especially as ...
I was approached a week or so ago by the Leeds Guide Magazine editorial team to shoot their upcoming spring fashion feature. They’d booked the Corn Exchange (mentioned in my last post, as the place where I technically became a ...
My backstory is that I’ve always been observant. Me mam said I had ‘Sharp eyes’. It didn’t take long before I started to enjoy photography. As a young teenager I used to get packed off on organised annual canal ...
One of the shoots on last weeks Leeds Guide brief was to photograph Miss Harrogate in various party frocks from the shops of Leeds. Life is hard. This one was probably my fave and has my vote for the issue cover. Miss Harrogate is ...
Bonjourno chicos! I shot another Leeds Guide last week and got up to all sorts of fun stuff. One feature was shot in House of Fraser, where a Bobby Brown makeup artist made LG sales mentalist Lucy’s eyes all smoky. Looks cool ...
I was out on Leeds Guide duties today, shooting features for issue 234. What are the odds that the day I photograph a famous Saville Row tailor in his favourite £3K suit, that I leave the flat in a dash in last nights mud caked jeans? ...
In spite of the wedding-filled summer, I’ve taken on a few extra Leeds Guide shoots for LG colleague & fellow wedding tog Tom Arber, who’s been swanning about Ireland on his honeymoon (be sure to check his beautiful ...
I just realised I’d not posted any of the features pix I shoot for the Leeds Guide magazine for a while. So here’s a few from a couple of issues back… This dude was for a My Favourite Outfit feature in June, I ...
