Yorkshire photographer working in Leeds, Bradford, Manchester and London. I’m available to work wherever you need me to be.
As a photographer and now also a video creator, it’s ALL about the quality of work. To create something visually dramatic, perhaps emotive alongside those key essentials to make sure the photograph or video is doing and saying the right thing for the brief. Whether it’s a corporate headshot, brand photoshoot or a sports kit needing to be photographed, my attention to the important details never wavers. My standards for quality production are as high as can be and you will only ever get photography or video content that I am proud to give to you.
See below a mixture of the projects I have enjoyed crafting in the last few months and years. Let me know how I can help you?
Brand Sportswear video
Brand documentary
I was asked by a brand to produce photography and video for their new range of running gear. I spent 2 days with Harriot, the first shooting photos, the second capturing the video content. This was my first video project, created in October 2022. I was a complete newbie to video but wanted be involved in creating video for a long time. I was stopped by not having expensive video equipment and more so time to get into video work. But in time, I purchased the gear, learned the craft in my own time and made this video. Its Spring 2024 now and I can see some rookie work in the video but still, not a bad one for a first go.
Composite photography - the art of illusion
Composite photography - the art of illusion
Whatever the sporting fantasy you have ever imagined, now is the time to make it happen. Hit off the tee with a Florida landscape behind you. Push forward through the mud with the ball in your hands at a packed rugby stadium or ride at the front of the peloton, climbing up the french alps. All we need to do is photograph you with some strategic lighting, perhaps at your local area, or inside with a bit of space, then leave the Photoshop magic to me.
It could be for just you individually or a series of shots of your team, showing off your new sponsored kit. Call me to discuss what you want and let's create something to make you smile...
Brand Sportswear Photography
Good brand photography not only shows the product looking its best but gives potential customers viewing them the vision they can also wear the kit and look as great as the athlete in the shot. I help to create inspirational imagery that sells a lifestyle. Showing athletes who are training, pushing their limits, using the kit and the kit being just what the athlete needs to be a better athlete. I like to create photographs that tell stories. Stories that hopefully inspire a customer to pick up a garment or two and go out and exercise.
Sportswear Photographer
Another cold day in Yorkshire. “No way you say?” I photographed some Sportswear and Activewear photography for a super nice duo who were sisters. Brave enough to endure the cold and take the lead from me in creating some ‘fly on the wall’ shots as they warmed up and ran through such beautiful landscape. To create some great Sportswear and Activewear photography it really helps to ensure there’s a narrative for the days shoot. Something for the athletes to have in their head to help make more real. Two loving but very competitive sisters was enough of a story to work with. The girls train 6 days a week. For me, working with athletes showing sports kit is essential. They are passionate about what they do and of course they look great in the kit. There’s a real genuine look at what the brand kit product is capable of, putting it through its paces and looking great for wannabe athletes to be inspired by…
Jonny Brownlee - Alistair Brownlee HUUB photoshoot
While working in the studio, these two Yorkshire lads popped in. Not sure who they were, someone said they were good at swimming, cycling and running?
Takes all sorts I suppose! :)
Yacht sailing photography
I say it often but it's always nice to be asked by a client to shoot multiple photography events, year after year. You get a real understanding of what's needed together without too much in the way of repeated instructions. The client knows exactly what they will get from me - the job will be completed well and on time. The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) asked me to shoot a wonderfully sunny weekend at the Rultand Sailing Club for their Sailability yachting races. A weekend of racing for the best para sailors in the country. Actually the first Multiclass event since 2019 after the pandemic. It's great to see the different modifications to each boat to suit the person sailing. The support of family and friends for each competitor is essential to get them what they need to compete. Genuine engineering brilliance created.
My role across the weekend was to capture a mixture of on the water yacht photography on and off the water activities. As always I try to capture moments through the day that tell a little more than just a sporting event. To capture some emotive moments alongside athletic grace. Pretty much the whole of my work is on land but it's always a treat to get on the water.
Cycling Brand Photoshoot
Fat Lad At The Back Brand Photoshoot - Yorkshire
Having good clients is great. They listen to what you suggest and let you do the job they expected from you. Here’s introducing the most lovely northern cycling clothing brand with the honesty and fun personality to capture the imagination of those cyclists who ride with pride and embrace the shape that they are. Making cycling clothing that fits all shapes and sizes. And in true northern style, so very loud and definitely proud!
It’s been my pleasure to work with the team on a few occasions now. This brand clothing photoshoot took place on a cold and damp February morning but whatever the weather, smiles on the Lads & Lasses faces shone through. Here’s looking forward to our future shoots creating together.
Cycling kit wind tunnel photography - Velotec
Another session with happy clients Velotec photographing their amazing cycling speed suits at the Silverstone wind tunnel. Building relationships with clients over several photography sessions means when the client calls me, they know exactly what they will get. Reliability, quality photography and some fun along the way. I have years of experience on the marketing side of things working for brands as a designer in the past, so as a photographer I know exactly what helps to sell.

Fashion photography Yorkshire
Nice afternoon shoot with a model agency new face. I had a clear set of poses and mood for the shoot. I didn’t know what she would be bringing kit wise but made work with what she had.
Hockey portraits
It was an absolute privilege to shoot for the European Hockey Federation for the Equally Amazing campaign. An opportunity to take portraits of not only some of the best players in the sport but also coaches, referees and board members who were equally eager to campaign for a balance and level playing field for men and women within the field hockey world. I wanted to show a strength and determination of each subject in a serious and positive manner, fitting for the campaign.
Athletics photography
After backing up my hard drives realised there are a number of projects I have not published on the site. This is one of those, a really fun day photographing British athletic hopefuls competing under the hot sun. I had great access thanks to a new friend Championships Secretary Fiona Lancaster. So impressive to see the determination and desire from every athlete.
Sportswear and Activewear Photographer
Photographing Sportswear. I have the pleasure of meeting some great people as a photographer. Sometimes I work with people more than once and working with India is a real treat for sure! The usual route to creating sportswear photography begins with myself coming up with a moodboard to show the model what it is I intend on shooting. It can included ideas for poses and kit. Then on the day we just have fun creating, working with the space we have available, the sportswear and the direction I choose. With a model with great poise and form as an athlete the job becomes way easier. Then its up to me to find the direction and mood of the photoshoot.
Sport fitness photography
Whenever there is a quiet spot, in between shoots I love to contact a model and just photograph for the love of the job and to create something I am proud of. Also a great way to show future clients my work and passion for the process of creating fitness photography, brand photography lookbooks etc. I have photographed Lucy before but weather stopped short that session. This time we had the time and weather to photograph some brand lifestyle photography to help fill up her modeling portfolio. For me fashion photography and sports fitness photography it’s all about making the gear look as good as it can. To create clean imagery that highlights the quality of the garments in whatever the situation. To put it through some rigorous activity as well as posed shots to show it looks cool too.
Cycling photography
Always great to catch up with Tom, this time I put him in the studio environment. I played around with a light and dark set up to create a couple of moods.
Sport fitness photography London
I was invited to shoot some sports fitness photography for Tala for a new range of kit down in London. Early March for a fitness photoshoot is always a challenge and the cold weather didn't disappoint. While sharing the 3 models with the other team of videographers the challenge was to not get in each others way and be seen in the background. A mixture of inside and outside was needed but the cold was hard to deal with for the models. I needed to find a nifty solution. As I wandered around the facility I noticed some areas where sports equipment was being stored. The added benefit being what sun there was helped make this space warm against the huge windows. This space made for some nice contrasty sports fitness photography shots against the netting and the large windows became softboxes creating lovely light. WIN! You have to make the jobs and situations you find yourself in and as a photographer its always helped by some creative thinking!
Clay shooting photography
Always a pleasure working with Hull Cartridge on their shooting days. The photography ranges from telling the story of the day's events, product advertising shots for magazine etc to a few portraits on the fly to add to their website and blog pages. Great bunch of people on the team who always make me feel one of the gang and to the shooters they sponsor. I look forward to the coming events on the calendar.
Sport fitness photographer
I'd been commissioned to shoot a new range of kit for a sports fitness brand and wanting to make the most of my trip to London hooked up with a model the day before. Conditions were far from ideal for sports bras and shorts, bitterly cold to the bone. Huge respect to the model for her commitment to her trade. A mutually beneficial meeting to add to our portfolios.
The client shoot the next day was not any better for those models weather wise but at least we were all getting paid for it.
Cycling Sportswear and Activewear Photography
Activewear photography is probably my favourite thing to shoot for my range of clients. It’s that mix of partially sports and partially fashion photography combined. The balance is to create activewear photography that makes the product look great while the athletes/models are using it. My preferred look and mood is when the athletes just do their thing and I’m floating around, laying by the side of a road or ahead photographing them as they scale a mountain. Or photographing them in between sessions as they munch on bars and take a drink, just hanging out as cyclists do, hanging off their handlebars. I think getting the right models/athletes for the job is vital to give it the right mood/tone and voice. For most jobs the model selection is led by myself to help the client. If the models have been chosen well then my job becomes much easier and the brand style rises to the top. This particular shoot I was invited to photograph the new range of gear over a long weekend in southern Spain. Springtime can be lovely their but on this occasion the weather was little up and down. In a couple of days we photographed a large range of gear in standing posed scenarios and of course some fun photographing them climbing up and down the local mountain range
Sport brand photography
An early start to the day to meet a new friend for some sports brand photography on a very cold and wet day. After and initial poor start, very cold and windy with low light I started with using a very small strobe but quickly decided against that. Just wasn’t the look I wanted to achieve I had conceived before the day. So with the weather gods behind us, we managed to shoot outside and make use of this amazing brutalist architecture, peering through gaps in the walls as India flew past. Hats off to her for being amazing and happy for me to direct the whole shoot in pretty bad conditions.
Running photos - Yorkshire Road Relay Championships
Great show of runners and talent at the Yorkshire Road Relay Championships 2018 at the weekend. A mixed bag of typical Yorkshire weather throughout the day and was indeed more annoying to a working photographer than the competing athletes on the track. Awesome effort from everyone who took part.
