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. [...]
How about this for a wild Funky Portrait shoot?
t’s been non-stop since Christmas. Not weddings, my mainstay… but portraits. All kinds of portraits. From beautiful new born baby and maternity shoots to ‘Intimates’ and more formal family shoots. Then again, very little of what I do is ‘formal’. People book 1 Click Photography because they want something a little different to what can [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Midland – A stylish hotel in the heart of Bradford
ituated right in the heart of Bradford is this delightful Victorian Hotel. With fabulous ballrooms, high ceilings and ornate chandeliers, this is surely one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. I love that everywhere I look, I see great pictures with character. Come in via the car park and you enter a Victorian [...]

Valentines – A time for lovers (The Intimates shoot)
his is the busiest time of year for ‘Intimates’ shoots. Our take on the ‘boudoir’ phenomenon. Originally our INTIMATES shoots were created for brides wanting something unique and personal for their grooms to be presented on their wedding day. This is still a big part of what we do but now it seems that even [...]
Attention: Totally unique individuals wanted…
lanning a completely unique wedding this year? Maybe a truly Vintage event with attention to every detail. Perhaps a Goth wedding or something really glamorous. Maybe you’re thinking of a destination wedding by the sea or an urban adventure. Your dress and style is truly unique and you’re planning the wedding to match. Maybe you’d [...]
what kind of portrait shoot would you like?
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. [...]
A Funkadelic Funky Portrait
Funky Portraits are unique fashion style images of you looking your absolute best. Two things make a Funky Portrait different to anything you may have encountered before and that is Style and Quality. Look at a portrait produced in a High Street studio and what do you notice? Well, a large white backdrop is common. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Keep it Simple stupid! Helen’s Funky Senior shoot…
OK, firstly let’s clear up a little mis-conception about our FUNKY SENIORS package. FUNKY SENIORS isn’t just for grannies ok? Actually, the term ‘Seniors’ is an Americanism, meaning senior year at High school. Typically, the year of the Prom, another Americanism which seems to have crept into our vocabulary. Now I’m not a big fan [...]
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 [...]
When the going gets tough…pull rabbits out of a hat.
Last Friday, the wonderful Caroline Brown of ‘The House of Rose and Brown’ held a Vintage Fashion Fair in Victoria Hall, just over the road, in Saltaire. This was one of my most challenging shoots of the year. I set myself the task of photographing as many of the Vintage clothes as possible during a [...]
Hair, Make-up, Photography This is how we roll!
OK, I’ve had such a great response to our FETASIA LATEX shoot on Monday that I thought I’d share the finished edits with you… Our brief was to shoot some great images of Dix and Leafie’s Latex designs. Lawnswood Cemetary was the chosen location. It’s beautiful, historic and relatively quiet. Our models for the day [...]
10 Minutes? You give me ten minutes?!! – Ok, so let’s take a bath…
He’s done it again… Photographers and hairstylists often have difficult relationships on shoots. Photographers love nothing better than to shoot pictures and think that hairstylists take far too long faffing. (How difficult can it be to curl a bit of hair for Pete’s sake?) Hairstylists love creating wonderful gravity defying structures and don’t mind how [...]
Yorkshire’s very own Posh ‘n’ Becks get married today!
OK, maybe James can’t play bend it like Beckham and Becky’s singing is confined to the shower but this couple are solid gold. Every bit as cool and so totally in love… (and you know I’m a sucker for a good love story) Here are the unpublished pictures shot a couple of weeks ago at [...]
