Since college, I have continued to pursue my love of photography in my own time. Still working a lot with my film cameras, I am drawn to brutalist buildings and architecture. This is Park Hill in Sheffield, an area I have visited on a number of occasions and appears in a lot of my work.
I quite often carry around my film SLR when on days out with friends and family. I enjoy documenting those times and I still love that moment of getting films back after sending them away to be developed

Retouching

With all the best practice in the world, especially working with kids, a little retouching in post production is sometimes necessary.
The first instance was a shot I took during a wedding job. The Mum was standing in the background as the baby was only just crawling. I felt that the image would look a lot cleaner without them, so I removed her legs for the final print.
The second example was another wedding job I worked on that involved a photo montage of all the wedding guests. I needed a full body shot of each guest to be able to do create a seamless final piece. This guests dance move had caused him to slip out of the frame, but I was able to build the left hand side of his body.
