Hi followers, do you fancy writing a microstory th Hi followers, do you fancy writing a microstory that will go alongside one of my pictures – in a photo book? ✒️ Let me tell you more about this collaborative storytelling project. I'm currently working on a photo book about my discovery journey of a place through portraits of a person in that specific location. Keep reading if you want to find out why I am being a bit vague :) 😎 * * * I've finally been reunited with quite a large batch of images that I took a while ago, and I've decided to make a book out of them! I took these photographs over an extended period of time, when I was still in London. My intention is to create a narrative with a substantially fictional edge, intertwining images and text. That's why I would like to involve writers and poets to provide the words for the book – in the shape of long captions / microstories – and see how they respond to (single or sequenced) images without knowing too much about the context where the images were taken or the person portrayed. 📸 Please get in touch and I'll give you more details. Thank you!
I've been quite busy in the last few days (I am wo I've been quite busy in the last few days (I am working on a new photo book – more details soon), but I have finally found a few minutes to post these headshots from a session with Angela Stevens. It's such a breeze to work with Angela, as she has been a model for 25+ years and she knows exactly what to do when in front of the camera. And on the day we took these portraits, we were blessed with a wonderful afternoon light filtering through the window. A truly enjoyable session with a great pro and a very kind person. Looking forward to working together with Angela at some point!

Italian Dressmaker Giorgio Paolino moved to Manche Italian Dressmaker Giorgio Paolino moved to Manchester from Sicily in September 2018. "As soon as I arrived, I realised that here it's like perennial autumn – far different from the extremes I was used to. Autumn is a season I love, as it's when we used to go back to school, it's a time for being productive. Manchester is the place where I am finally seeing that what I've studied for matters, and, after 4 years, I feel this city is still pushing me to grow and improve myself." I had the great pleasure to portray Giorgio for my When in Manchester project – we thought of juxtaposing one of his stylish outfits with the graffiti in a Northern Quarter alley. PS: if you are not a follower of my @_when.in.manchester account, please give it a follow. And if you'd like to be involved in the project, or if you know a Mancunian who would like to take part in it, please give me a shout. Thank you!

Autumn vibes for this outdoor full-figure portrait Autumn vibes for this outdoor full-figure portrait of Lebonetse Khubamang, taken in Stalybridge. Lebonetse kindly took part in my "When in Manchester" series. We had a very interesting conversation about languages – a topic Lebonetse is particularly expert in, as this is the subject of her University studies. Yet another opportunity to meet Mancunians from all walks of life, for which I am so grateful.

Jeremy "JD" Duncan in St Peter's Square, posing fo Jeremy "JD" Duncan in St Peter's Square, posing for my "When in Manchester" series. Those of you who have been following me for a while know that my "When in Manchester" project is not a street photography project – i.e. taking pictures of random people on the street – but it's an urban portraiture series. This means that I am taking outdoors portraits of people I have already met and talked to. These without-the-camera conversations are an essential part of the project as it's through them that I am gathering vital information about Manchester, its places and the people that call it home. So far, I've taken 40+ portraits, mainly through word of mouth or social media interactions. But from time to time, I am stepping very much out of my comfort zone and I approach people I meet while I wander around, showing them the dummy "When in Manchester" book (with some of the portraits I've taken so far) and asking them if they want to take part in this project. This is what happened with JD. I was in St Peter's Square with partner in crime Bea @bea.gonzalezg and we saw this gentleman sipping his latte while absorbed in his music. I really liked his look and I thought he had an interesting story to tell. JD told us that he was still recovering after a stroke he had 5 years ago, leaving him with double vision among other issues, but he had been able to return to work after a while – for which he was very grateful. And so am I, for being given the opportunity to hear his story.
