The image that was too offensive for Facebook!
I took a picture the other day and thought it was cool enough to use to promote our Tattoo portraiture. Sometimes when you get so immersed in the art, the judgement goes out the window. You see, in my eagerness, I posted the image on Facebook and they took offense and promptly pulled it down. [...]
Michael and Liane’s engagement pictures…

Last Nights Snow Shoot at Cragg Wood
now! Excellent! Out comes the camera. Actually, when we eventually got to Cragg Wood in Rawdon, most of the snow had sadly melted. I spent the weekend playing snowballs with the kids and the snow shoot had to wait till Monday. The snow didn’t want to stick around so our snow shoot main course turned [...]
Valentines – What will you give this year?
Please this year, no Mankinis or fluffy handcuffs. No see through Red Lingerie or anything with a bunny on it. Please, let’s not do practical either…. No cookery or DIY books. This is, after all, a celebration of love we’re talking about. Put a little effort into your gift, give it some thought, personalise it [...]
The Face of Yazz Model Competition 2012…
haky (Mr ‘Yazz’) first told me of his idea last year and I’ve been excited about this ever since. He’s got that rare energy and enthusiasm you don’t find very often. It’s a passion for excellence and I like to think that’s what 1 Click Photography has also. When Shaky asks you to come on-board [...]
What can you expect from a £200 Funky Portrait shoot?
What is a FUNKY PORTRAIT Shoot? Simple. Great portraits of you looking amazing. That’s it. Really. Nothing to it. No boring, tired, cheesy smiles on a white background. FUNKY PORTRAITS are more like you’d expect to see in a glossy magazine. More personal, more individual, altogether classier… More you. (Or maybe, more like you’ve always [...]

Drive past any High street studio and you’ll see happy, smiling pictures of families on a white backdrop, looking back at you. The pictures will be large and the frames will be lovely. It will cost you around £40 for a one hour studio session and you’ll pay several hundred pounds for the large picture. [...]

Darker, Moodier, Mellower… Uniquely, You.
A lot of my work is fun, funky, upbeat and often romantic. I specialise in weddings and social portraiture and we have a good time on a shoot. The mood is up beat so the pictures generally end up that way. A lot of my clients are true individuals though and they come to me [...]

imon reckons Carly is gorgeous but I reckon she’d look a lot better with a 1 Click Photography FUNKY SENIOR MAKEOVER. For Amazing ‘Seniors’ Pictures, look no further. I know of no other photographer who is specialising in Seniors. OK, I hear you ask…. What is a ‘Senior’? Well, it’s an Americanism and it means [...]
Cor look at the Bokeh on that! or… The hardest shoot I’ve ever done.
lackpool illuminations and the beach nearby sounded like a good idea at the time. We loaded up the Scooby mobile and headed off across the Pennines. Andreas, the Gordon Ramsey of hair, and myself. Make-up duty courtesy of the talented Kirsty Fulford and Danni Blakesley and Eindra Aung, our wonderful subject. Cosy. We knew we’d [...]

Come in, slip your clothes off and sit down please. Oh, and be careful of the candle-wax!
…Did I really just say that? This is what happens during an ‘Intimates’ shoot (Our take on ‘Boudoir’ photography) – Hot candle wax, loads of laughter, plenty of ‘dress up’, Lots of ‘oohs and aahs’ when you see the back of the camera and if you’re really lucky… you may even get turned into some [...]
Becky and Jimmy’s Wedding Book…
We started with the Engagement Shoot… It was at Granary Wharf in Leeds. I think we all had fun that day so we decided to continue the shoot another day at my base in Rawdon. I’ve often said that I have the best couples in the world and it’s true, I’m very lucky, but I [...]
A boudoir style INTIMATES session book layout.
The ‘Intimates’ range of portraiture was initially suggested by the mother of a bride who saw what I did for her daughter and asked if I could create something to make her feel good about herself again. Together, we created ‘Intimates’ Sexy photoshoots in the style of Agent Provocateur rather than Ann Summers. Upmarket fashion [...]
