Playing with a new film camera on a recent shoot with Naomi. I’d just got the camera for £20 and wanted to see if it worked.

It’s just been cut back but this was the wildflower patch at the high of its glory. I’m hoping now it’s cut back some other flowers might appear.

I got out into the garden yesterday evening to photograph some of our plants which are starting to bloom. This cornflower looked gorgeous.

From a summer wedding in West Yorkshire. I love colour but sometimes, black and white just works.

A rather fun ocf portraite done outside the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester. This was an engagement session for Jash and Hrushika. Unfortunately, I couldn’t cover their wedding in India but I’ve seen their photos & it looked amazing.
