Kanye West – Runaway

Nathan — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 12:13:51 +0000

I have been a massive fan of Kanye West for years now, from his debut album College Dropout to 2010′s ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’. This short film by Kanye is gorgeous to watch, and the soundtrack is fantastic.

In Bruges

Happy New Year all! I hope you’ve had a great festive time and are ready to start 2011. I’ve decided that blogging is going to be a much bigger priority for me this year, so to start off, here are some photographs from a trip to Bruges, Belgium, in late November.

Rach makes pretty awesome cakes. They are massively tasty, available in all shapes, sizes and flavours, and they were on sale today at Piece Hall in Halifax. Here are some photos!

Rachel also makes cakes for special occasions, so if you want something bespoke and tasty, head over to madebeautiful.co.uk and get in touch with her!

Anna & Steve’s Wedding!

Nathan — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 19:27:57 +0000

A lovely day at Mere Court Hotel in Cheshire. There were a few showers throughout the day, but the light was great and both the guests and the location lent themselves to some fantastic photographs. Oh, and there was a pick ‘n’ mix bar. Amazing.

This was a genuinely awesome day. Thanks to Steve and Anna, and both of their families for being so welcoming and friendly on the day.

Fashion shoot – Sarah + Sophie

Nathan — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 23:39:13 +0000

A few weeks ago I headed back to Pumpkin Studios in Denton, East Manchester, for a quick portfolio shoot with the fantastic models Sarah Barlow and Sophie Bailey. I was lucky enough to have the make-up skills of Sarah Morten and styling amazingness of Sarah Ineson, and the photos really benefited from their combined expertise.

I’ll probably post some more images from this shoot since there are so many I’m pleased with, but in the meantime I’d love to hear your thoughts on them so far!

Cheers,

Nathan

Kate and David

Last month I was lucky enough to photograph Kate and David’s wedding. After meeting them late last year, it was clear that their wedding would be a day of happiness and filled with a sense of family. From the handmade dress to acapella renditions of favourite songs, everything came together and created an amazingly warm, loving atmosphere.

In one of the dustiest moves I have ever managed as a photographer, I managed to get quite a unique viewpoint during the service.

The reception was held in a stunning marquee close to the church.

The bride’s father John gave a fantastic and moving speech, as well as conducting the service!

Finally, two of my absolute favourite photographs from the day.

Thanks to Kate and David for allowing me to enjoy such a relaxed and beautiful wedding day!

Punting in Cambridge

Nathan — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 02:07:32 +0000

I’ve worked in Cambridge a few times over the past 2 years, but have never really explored the city for my own enjoyment. Last weekend I went on a kickin’ rad road trip 200 miles from Manchester to the ‘bridge to see friends, be merry and generally be on punts.

Punts!

Rik confidently took the big pole thing (technical term) and steered us away.

Nah mate I’m just a duck, chillin in this water mainly.

Both Rik and I tried our hands at steering us down the river, but really failed quite magnificently.

Ross seemed much more confident perched up at the back, so he was appointed captain.

Meanwhile, Rik and I checked out the ridiculously cool and ridiculously old Cambridge architecture.

A traffic jam. On a river. No, really.

Three exhausting but great days later and I am home, working hard again. Some fantastic shoots coming up which I’m really excited about, and will blog about soon.

Cheers,

Nathan

First foray into sports photography

Nathan — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:25:42 +0000

Today was day one of a promotional shoot for my old school. It’s great being asked to do this sort of work because I know the school ridiculously well and feel completely at home there. Waiting on the go-ahead to post some other photos from the shoot, but here’s a test shot from between football & rugby matches.
