Hummingbird's Photography

Hummingbird's Photography I am a professional photographer specialising in portraiture. Spearheading 'Hidden Figures of the South West'. I am also an Enterprise Scholar.

Fuelled by an unhealthy tea addiction and entrepreneurial determination, I have spent over ten years studying and working in the Photographic industry and hold various qualifications in the field. In 2021 I graduated with a First Class Honours in BA Film, Photography and Media (Ent) from the University Of Leeds. I am often drawn to projects that make a difference. This includes a collection of por

traits titled 'The Sunflower People' that gave Cancer survivors a chance to feel beautiful and tell their story. I specialise in Portrait Photography but my expertise extends into many nuances within the creative industry. My broad creative skill set and substantial knowledge base gives me the tools to make your experience, and the resulting photographs, the best they can possibly be.

The countryside behind the scenes. Three pallets of books delivered. The mud meant they had to be left on the track, and then a kind neighbor helped me transport them using farm wheelbarrows to the studio. 110 boxes.

The distribution manager, friendly Mr. Robin, oversaw the operation. This is the reality of self-publishing. Now, to sell the new print run of the books.

'Hidden Figures of the South West' was only the start of the journey. Its growing success further proves how important projects like this are.

The South West will continue to be featured, but my quest to cause chaos and positive change is taking me up North.

Please comment any recommendations for who I should contact. Or, if you live in Yorkshire and want to be involved, send me a message!

There is no such thing as "Too Unique," "Not Crafty Enough," or "My occupation doesn't fit in any box." This is about celebrating those who have spent far too long going unsung!

Each year, skills and knowledge passed down through millennia disappear before they can be retained for the future. Together, we can change the ending of this story.
