A Look Back at My Photographs from 2017

Here comes my review of work in the past year and featuring some of my favourites.  I started this post by reading last year's, which seemed like only yesterday, yet so long ago.

I've photographed so many weddings and families this year, documenting those moments and relationships from the big to the tiny moments.  So many firsts with awesome weddings this year, a proper Christmas wedding on the 23rd (still working on those!), a wedding in a theatre, an outdoor wedding and a wedding with 2 ceremonies in the day!  

I've worked on my own projects and alongside other artists and organisations, particularly Restoke, Feral Spaces, Middleport Pottery, Art Brasil and Festival Stoke.  I was one of the photographers who collectively took thousands of portraits in October for The Face of Stoke-on-Trent with The People's Picture.   

As always, the highlight is doing something that I love, capturing my own memories, being able to do the same for other people and meeting so many lovely, interesting folk along the way.  I'm really looking forward to 2018, with lots of exciting work to keep me occupied.  I really do count myself as very lucky to be able to do this for a living.

A big thank you to everyone I've worked with in 2017 and a Happy New Year to you all!  I hope that you are happy in 2018.  

Here are some of my favourites from the last year:-

Urban Explorers adventure in urban wild space at Burslem Port, Middleport, Stoke-on-Trent. Making and floating rafts, natural painting and graffiti on temporary walls.

Here's to a fantastic 2018!
