// Frankie passed today after a few weeks of going down hill and not eating anything for the past 4 days. A truly awesome dog that did everything with us.

// The last 7 weeks have been amazing. Working with and sharing ideas, plans and experiences have been really inspiring. I’m excited to be sharing my journey over the summer with some amazing people and getting my new business of the ground. Thanks again @aestheticamag, @yorkstjohn and the York, North Yorkshire Combined authority for the amazing opportunity.

// Customer Journey // Last September we set out to shoot b-roll content for National Highways to showcase the everyday customers journey on the Network. Shot over 4 challenging (Lake District weather) days in Cumbria we managed to produce a lot of content in such a short space of time with a very small team.

Our Story

In 2006 I graduated in graphic design at Cumbria Institute of the Arts. Throughout my time at university studying graphic design, my creative work was influenced by my photography and vice versa. The same basic laws of each principle has influenced my photography work and this has continued throughout my career as a wedding and travel photographer.

As a travel and wedding photographer I get to visit some wonderful places that influence not only my work but my love for photography. Going back to the same city or beach on a different day or time of year allows me to see it from a different perspective and create a completely new picture. It could be the colours or a new angle that makes the composition stir an emotion that I hope will make the viewer want to visit that destination.

I love to involve myself in the local culture. Blending in with my surroundings and trying new experiences gives me a child like view on my situation and surroundings. It’s surprising how welcoming people can be when you are polite, happy and inquisitive. One of my mottos is ‘if you don’t ask, you don’t get’.

As a travel and wedding photographer I can’t carry a lot of equipment, so the creative challenge is in working only with the available light. My images might be created in an instant where I get lucky with my subject matter or I might have to wait for hours to get the right shot. Either way my excitement about composition, colour, shapes, line and form brings an energy to my images that I hope people can connect with.
