Simon Grange: A 30 Minute One Shot Mini Shoot
A One Shot Mini Shoot is a great option for those who aren’t in need for a full shoot, but need a quick update of their headshots. The shoot takes 30 minutes in total and requires you to bring only one outfit. You’ll be able to pick 1 fully edited photo from around 50 photos with the option to purchase as many as you like on top of that. It’s also a great choice for those who are a bit reluctant about having their photos taken as it limits the time in front of the camera considerably.
CLOUDS Harp Quartet
It was a wintery day in February with just the right amount of clouds to take the harshness out of the daylight to get some photos with beautiful soft lighting as a result. It is my experience that the easiest way to have musicians be at ease while taking photos of them is to ask them to play, so we started off with some solo portraits at their instruments.

Olivia Carrell: Portraits at The Whitworth
The Whitworth is not only one of my favourite galleries in Manchester, it also has some brilliant nooks and crannies perfect for photography. The huge windows in both the old building and the newly added wing shed an abundant amount of natural light which -on a typical Mancunian cloudy day- provides a flattering light that makes the subject glow from within.
Great Crag (3/214)
Somehow we managed to do five fells in one small trip to The Lake District in April 2019. It’s almost like we knew what was to come the year after. By some miracle of added foresight I took photos of the same view on both my Canon Eos 7D Mark II and my iPhone 8 which gives the opportunity for some great side-by-side comparisons.
The Importance of Knowing Your Good Side
Knowing how to stand and what positions to take to look your best in a photo can save you a lot of frustration and gain you a lot of confidence on stage or during a photoshoot.
Why ‘finding your light’ on stage is so important
Though it may seem basic knowledge, it’s easier said then done (and I speak from experience) to ‘stand in your light’ on stage. The most important -and perhaps evident- reason to do it, is to be seen. But there are other less obvious reasons to master it.
Sheona White: Speciality Portraits in the comfort of your own home
Sheona White is internationally renowned as ‘The Voice of the Tenor Horn’ and has performed and toured as a soloist throughout Europe, Asia, Australasia and the USA. We met a couple of years ago and she got in touch to see if I was free to take photos for her upcoming album.

Rannerdale Knotts (2/214)
Rannerdale Knotts is the second out of 214 fells in my journey to walk all the fells of the Lake District. With startlingly high confidence in my iPhone 8 and no foresight whatsoever, I set out for the Rannerdale Knotts without my DSLR. Weirdly, this ties in to my previous post about the differences, advantages and disadvantages of DSLR cameras and iPhone cameras. A common theme seems to be bubbling to the surface in these posts, almost as if I’d always planned for it..
Dale Head (1/214)
Dale Head was the first fell I ever did and I didn’t even know it.
Follow my journey to walk all the fells of the Lake District. Today I’ll be chatting about my first fell ever: Dale Head. I also compare the photos I took with my Canon EOS 7D Mark II and my iPhone 8.
