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,…

This was one of my most successful night shoots of last year, on top of Calton Hill in Edinburgh in December. This is by far my favourite area of the city for photography and as much as I had been many times before this was a first at night. Having had a previous photo of…

“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.

Castlerig is one of the half dozen places in the Lakes that attracts a lot of photographers, especially at those golden times of the day (dawn and dusk). The problem here was not only did I go to this location with two of my photographic friends, but we spent over two hours here and saw…

This is the second or third photograph of HMS Belfast that I have featured and there is a great sense of scale. I took the above image earlier this year when I was privileged enough to get access to the viewing area of London’s City Hall (where the mayor’s office is). It had been overcast…

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…
