Photography

Through the lens

Private and commissioned photography across automotive, racing, wheels, live music and product work — shot with the same eye for detail that runs through the design work.

Automotive & Racing

Cars and wheels have been a long-running subject, both privately and professionally. Commissioned work has included social media content and product photography for automotive companies and racing teams, where the shot has to sell the part, the finish or the atmosphere of the event.

  • Product photography for aftermarket wheels, tyres and performance parts.
  • Social content for automotive brands and race teams.
  • Private car and motorsport photography at tracks and meets.
  • Detail-led, high-contrast editing that matches brand tone.

Events & Live Music

The same approach to light, moment and composition carries into live events. Through Bradford Music Scene, gigs, takeovers and awards nights have been documented for editorial, social and press use — fast-moving environments where you shoot once and make it count.

Product & Detail

Product photography sits neatly alongside technical artwork and design work. Whether it is a wheel, an exhaust, a printed gig guide or a stage moment, the discipline is the same: control the light, isolate the subject, and leave the image ready for web, print or social crops.

This cross-over is what makes photography a useful extension of the design process — assets can be shot, retouched and laid out in the same workflow rather than pulled from stock libraries.
