My Photography Journey

Running away with the music...

It was a busy Sunday just gone, starting with a brisk walk into Worcester to capture over 3,000 runners participating in the Worcester 10k and Half Marathon.

I arrived with plenty of time to catch the tail end of the kids run which took a shorter circuit around the city. Before long, the main event runners were starting to warm up ready to tackle the course. It was great to see so many runners raising money for different local charities hoping to make a difference, not forgetting some of the amazing fun running outfits!

I wasn’t able to stay too long into the race as I had to be in Malvern to capture photographs of the Chandos Symphony Orchestra at the Malvern Theatres. With some fantastic music on display, it was a joy to photograph all the musicians whilst they were putting all their effort into the final touches before their concert.

The style of photography I was shooting was my favourite as it allowed me to tell a story through the emotions that the musicians were demonstrating. This style allows the audience to feel more engaged with the story that is being told.

If you are looking for some photographs for your profile or page, please don’t hesitate in giving me a call.

Full steam ahead

After a little bit of planning and a couple of date changes due to the weather, on 9th September 2018 me and my Dad went out for the day on the Severn Valley Railway. Traveling from Kidderminster to Bridgnorth on a fully restored steam locomotive the journey lasted over 1 hour and the ride was much comfortable than the usual journey I take to Birmingham.

With the windows down and the smell of burning coal filling the air, I was taking in the amazing scenery that Worcestershire and Shropshire has to offer, the rolling hills of the green green grass that I call home. Once we pulled into Bridgnorth we took a little stroll around the town and took in the amazing sights of a historic English town, complete with a market town hall in the middle of the street.

After a little walk we stopped at a quaint pub to have a spot of Sunday lunch washed down with a refreshing pint of lager and history neatly placed on all the walls showing the history of this little railway town.

Back to the station we went and before it was time to start the train journey back to Kidderminster, I thought I’d be cheeky to see if I was allowed to jump in the cab and take some photographs of the fireman fuelling the fire and they were happy to oblige (man was it hot in there!). On the return journey we stopped into Highley to visit the dedicated steam railway museum where they had some famous locomotives on display and the Royal Mail postal carriage and right next to it was the Royal carriage which once carried a king.

This was an incredible day out which got better throughout. I will definitely be back to experience life on the Severn Valley Railway line.
