Waterloo!!

So UK media has been Battle of Waterloo crazy this week,with it been 200th Anniversary of said event. Royal Armories Msueum were holding events as you'd expect and they kindly allowed me to do some press photographs of the event the live event with stunt riders and "action horses" .

Here are a few photos from the display Saturday.

See Press Photos website for more pics or to hire me for your PR/Press needs .

Grand National

After months of cold and snow the sun finally shone,in time for Grand National race at Aintree.The obligatory turn out of WAGS perma tanned scouse girls and football mangers were amongst 80,000 attendees.
Katherine Jenkins sang half of the National Anthem(!) demanded she wasnt photographed walking only singing and the winning jockey Ryan Mania looked as if he'd been told his house had burnt down,photographers had to ask him to punch the air!

No horses died so all went well.For more photos of press events like us on Facebook

Floody Hell!

The weird weather in my last entry continued into July with floods in many  parts of UK! The small town of Hebden Bridge saw the worst of it ,after flooding 3 times! I went there on the third occasion,with many roads blaocked into the town it was a journey on foot for the last mile.
These pictures were picked up by The Sun ,Daily Express and Daily Mirror

Manchester riots

The spate of riots in cities throughout UK reached Manchester in August. With looting and expensive damage caused.For the media it was good photo opportunities for a press photographer but also risky with troublecausers obviously wanting to avoid being photographed, so having a camera around one's neck was risky!
Walking around the City Centre it was both sad and strange,seeing damaged shops and people wandering about with arms full of goods seemingly careless. Whilst general public tried to go about their lives normally.

World Naked Bike Ride

A manchester park on a hot day, people bound to be wearing very little,right? Well how about completely naked?

Mingling with students mainly soaking up sun a group of people all shapes and ages stripped nude to promote alternative methods of transport! Quite an eye opener even for a photographer! Bizarrely no-one seemed that bothered, clothed or un. More men than women were in attendance, and with various slogans painted on themselves.I odubt it was most comfortable way to ride a bike!!
