Mini University Brief

Leeds Brigate arcade

Shot of the historic shopping arcade in Leeds with great light coming from the light coming through the stained glass.

Britain - Leeds

Leeds is my city of choice in the UK, I study here for 6 months of the year and live in the city. Leeds is a creative city, a centre for creatives and is perfect for professionals and amateur photographers to start creating work. The city is surrounded by rolling hills and the city itself is full of wonderful people that are great to document. The people are friendly which helps you to blend in when you have a camera placed in front of your face. The image below is of the Leeds market, a building that has stood for over 100 years and hosts small stalls selling everything from fish to furniture.

Book Project

Book Project,

Some images from my Photobook "Time out"

My book Looked at Street Photography in Leeds in the UK, I wanted to highlight the busy city by looking at the few people who take the time during their day to have a break and take a time out. I went with black & white as this prevented the eye being caught by bright colours in the background, this helped you to focus on the subject matter of the images.

Street Photography - Personal portfolio

An Image I took whilst being out and about crawling the streets of Leeds looking for images for a one day brief that I received. Portrait format black and white with fine natural lighting, please share and comment.

Peter Mitchell - Article and Images

Found this article from 2013, it shows some of the work that i saw during the talk. His work is based in Leeds and the particular set of images in the article look at Leeds in the 1970's and the changing society

British Photographers

Guest speaker Peter Mitchell

A documentary photographer based in leeds Pete had a great personality and didn't take himself serious and admitted to not fully knowing what he's doing when snapping his images. This point just makes his work more impressive, his obvious talent just comes naturally to him with his creative skill being expressed in his images. The talk gave me ideas for photographing in Leeds, which was the point of the talk as well listening to someone who is both successful and a nice guy who you"d want to go for a pint with in the local boozer, great first speaker to have and only reassures me that i'm in the right place to study photography, Peter deserves the recognition he gets in Britain.
