@davevin54444501 @Joel_CP_70 @slbsn And yet...Since moving to the City of Manchester Stadium in 2003, the club have sold approximately 46,000 season tickets in every season they have played and average attendances have ranked in the top 5 of English football since. Weird

It was a pleasure to photograph @AnnTreneman1 for @thetimes recently, and I was delighted that the picture was the cover of the Weekend supplement.

Shocked and disappointed to hear that Alastair Hudson has been asked by the University of Manchester to leave his post as director of Manchester and Whitworth art galleries. I hope the university sees fit to reverse its decision. @officialuom @whitworthart #Manchester #Art

The Whitworth presents the first major UK presentation of multiple works of US artist Suzanne Lacy, a pioneer of social practice and community organising for almost five decades.
Thanks again to the Whitworth for asking me to document the opening and associated artist’s talk.

What Media

What Media help brands engage with clients by producing creative video and animation content.

I photographed their team at their new location in central Manchester. As always when working with this team, the shoot was full of positive energy and went by in a flash.
