It’s been a while……..

…..since I posted anything. The new site has received great praise from clients old and new but what have I been covering since it launched in March?

Well it’s certainly been varied! Sport continues to play a huge part and the portrait sessions at various football clubs around the North still give me great pleasure in covering. PR photography creates regular challenges and staff portraits have given me a chance to play around with lighting once more.

I made the top 11 in a ‘Lords-Home of Cricket’ competition, with an image from England v Sri Lanka at Headingley last summer.

There are still times that I get nervous and before photographing Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal was certainly one. I needn’t have worried. A charming, funny and relaxed man when faced with lights and a camera. It’s easy to forget he has probably done these photo sessions more times than I’ve put batteries on my flashes. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/11483566/Louis-van-Gaal-Manchester-United-is-my-last-job-in-football-and-I-will-go-out-at-the-top.html

May will begin with a week of election coverage. One things for sure, these weeks are never dull.

Thanks for reading folks.
