I wanted to make this photograph a little special using digital post production, as I thought that it captured a great little moment. When I took the snap I didn’t see the man’s arm pointing or the two women sat under the umbrella. However when looking through my photographs at the end of the day,…

“Go Penguins” is the new celebratory public art event taking place throughout Liverpool, St Helens and the Wirral and it really reminds me of the “Cow Parade” a few years ago in Manchester. Mark and Rachel suggested a walk around Liverpool to see and photograph a few of them. The above two were in the…

Standing at Gmex Metrolink Station one afternoon waiting for a tram, I noticed the dark, stormy looking sky and how the buildings in the foreground were lit up by the sun coming through the thick clouds over my shoulder. The Hilton / Beetham Tower was too large and close but the Great Northern Tower really…

This isn’t the first time I have published a photo of this copper coloured office building in Salford Quays. However, the majority of the images I see online of it are taken much closer, using its reflective surface as a mirror showing details of other buildings or the bridge next to it. For a while…

Back in late September of this year I photographed my first wedding. Obviously I had assisted my dad when he had done weddings in the past, but this was the first on my own. Fortunately I was able to convince Mark to be an assistant and at the time he kindly provided a second camera…

After my recent photo shoot of the Manchester Wheel at Night, Mark wanted to explore more of the area between Piccadilly and Ancoats. Walking down the back streets…

Whilst walking around Salford Quays taking photos, the sun was just about to set behind the clouds and I thought it would be a nice light for a portrait. So Michaela stepped in. Rather than getting her to look straight into the camera I thought it would make her much more relaxed to look towards…

Granada Studios Tour was an entertainment complex in Castlefield, Manchester which operated from 1988 to 1999. It was situated on Water Street, adjacent to Granada Television’s Quay Street complex. The exterior of the complex was a New York street setting replicating a Times Square theatre, complete with yellow cabs, large neon advertisements and entertainers role-playing…

The Crossley Regis six from 1935 was the last model of motor car made by Crossley Motors. After this they concentrated on military contracts and later on lorries and buses. Or at least that is what the sign told me at Manchester’s Museum of Science and Industry. The transport building is always the most fascinating…

Due to its location at the bottom of a valley, it is extremely difficult to find a good angle to take a photo of Edinburgh’s Waverley Train Station. Really I should have waited until one of the trains pulled out of the platform and into the foreground of my frame, but not only was I…
