Corporate Event Photography in Manchester for CDW
I was recently commissioned by Coolbox Films to deliver a comprehensive corporate photography shoot for CDW at their Manchester offices. The brief combined conference coverage with the creation of a versatile marketing image library for future use.

Photographing the Manchester Artist Teacher Collective
Manchester Artist Teacher Collective (MATC) is a group of artist teachers from secondary schools and colleges across Manchester, and gallery educators from Manchester Art Gallery, the Whitworth and HOME.

Through this collaboration, they seek to develop and share artistic and educational expertise, enabling teachers to engage with contemporary practices and sustained personal making. By centring on the artist teachers’ own creative development, the collective highlights the local cultural ecology and future opportunities within Manchester for the young people they teach.
Documenting an Art Fund Event Across Liverpool’s Museums and Galleries
Art Fund is the UK’s national charity supporting museums and galleries.

Their Art Partners are a group of patrons who share our passion for museums and galleries, providing annual support that makes our work possible.
