This time a product shot of a wedding invitation and wedding favours for a family member. The items were set up on an acrylic light table with studio flashes set up to give a nice crispy white background for that wedding feel.

Another photoshoot at the Westlakes Science and Technology Park at Moor Row near Whitehaven. This time the company wanted photographs for use to produce marketing materials for the electronics workshop within the facility.

The client was running a Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) event for children from the local schools. The STEM events focus on practical learning to prepare students for the real world. In this case groups of children from each school were asked to design an ecologically sustainable house, preparing models and presenting their designs to a panel of judges made up of scientists and engineers from Sellafield Ltd.

A shoot was arranged at the client’s facility on the Westlakes Science Park in Cumbria. An Open Day was arranged in partnership with the Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE) to provide an opportunity for school children and their parents to tour the facilities and gain an understanding of the work carried out there.

A product shoot was arranged at the client’s facility on the Sellafield Nuclear Reprocessing Plant in Cumbria. This time the client wanted photographs for the production of marketing materials for a revised product.

A request for an environmental portrait of a colleague for use in an article for a professional body journal, in this case the Institute of Physics. The photo needed to illustrate the work that was being carried out by a recently graduated member of the team sharing her experiences of starting out in the nuclear industry.

I received a request to provide a series of photographs of equipment for use in a marketing campaign. Previous photographs were not inspiring and a more minimalist, high tech result was needed.

Once again, thanks to the organisers, I was invited to photograph the 2014 running of the annual Maryport Trawler Race on Saturday 17th May. Again the weather on race day was ideal, warm with clear skies and a little wind to whip up some swell to create sea spray and breaking bow waves. The waves increased as the race started giving some impressive spar photos.

Once again, thanks to the organisers, I was invited to photograph the annual 2013 Maryport Trawler Race on Saturday 19th May. After the appalling conditions at last year’s race I went prepared for bad weather but this year it was a glorious summer’s day with clear skies and calm seas. There were more boats than ever leading to some close racing and some good photos.

After missing last year’s race due to bad weather I was again invited to take photographs of the 2012 Maryport Trawler Race, so off I went on Saturday 4th August to see what the day had in store. My first race in 2009 had beautiful weather, blue skies and calms seas. 2010 was similar but the sea was a little choppy. 2012, however, was a completely different day.

This photograph was taken during a stunning sunset at Whitehaven harbour in August 2010. The image shows the Millennium Wave lit up in neon blue against the rich orange sky. The Millennium Wave is an iconic sculpture along the length of Whitehaven’s Lime Tongue Quay reaching the 40m tall Crow’s Nest mast.

On Saturday 13th August, I was again invited to join the Maryport Trawler Race as photographer for the event. This year I was fortunate to join the Isle of Man Fisheries Protection Vessel (FPV) Barrule, an impressive boat and astonishingly quick.

On Saturday I was invited to join the Maryport Trawler Race as photographer for the event. The race organiser is one of my work colleagues so offered me the opportunity to photograph the boats. The day was perfect with calm seas and clear blue skies.

I received a request from VT Nuclear Services to go to a local playgroup to take photographs of a donation in support of their work with local children. Haile Playgroup, near Egremont in West Cumbria, were awarded a donation of £700 towards the purchase of a climbing frame and safety mat for children in the under 5 group.
