Photography
A Walk in Castlefield, Manchester.
Jan 31st
I’m just home from a sunny morning’s walk around Castlefield. Although bitterly cold, it was a beautiful morning and Sam, Dunkan and I took the opportunity to get some photos.
Here are my favourites:
Urban Portraits 2
Aug 30th
This is the second set of photos utilising abandoned and run-down landscapes in the local area. Here, Kyle poses in an army style jumpsuit and bomber jacker; his sexuality and red jock-strap both vibrant against the decaying brick and concrete surrounding him. The photos were taken for his own portfolio.
Editors Note: You would not believe how hard it is to take a photo of someone wearing mirrored sunglasses! Photos taken in August 2009.
Urban Portraits
Aug 1st
I love the contrast between the vivid colours of the graffiti and dilapidated environment under the railway arches here; it provides an intriguing background for these portraits.
The arches are no longer accessible; apartments were built overlooking them and the developer didn’t think they’d help with sales. Photos taken in September 2005.
Men on White
Apr 4th
Portraits taken against a plain white background are standard issue in studios everywhere. Here are some of my experiments with a man, a wall and some studio lighting.
Most of these photos are from 2005, before I moved the furniture around making it impossible to do this sort of photography at home.
