Liverpool, home of The Beatles, is one of my favourite locations for one of my favourite types of photography. A genre with raw edge and a degree of cool that doesn’t really happen elsewhere. Urban portraits, street portraits, there are loads of different names for them but they are amongst [...]
Northwich in Cheshire is one of the most popular places for me to go to take family portrait photos. I’m lucky that I’ve been chosen by so many families and pet owners to take their portrait photographs. This session from March 2019 was taken as part of a practice session [...]

Dog photography is one of my favourite parts of portrait photography. There is something really special about capturing the character, [...]
This was supposed to be a family portrait session but it didn’t quite work out like that. Jan’s friends bought her a gift voucher for a family portrait session and a bespoke framed photograph for her and her two sons as birthday present. The only problem was that her sons [...]
