My Social Side

Social media is all very well, but I prefer social mediation – a chat face to face over a brew. Way more civilised!

A Little Bit About Me

Yes, the prime steaming lump of English roast beef that you see before you is in fact myself. Hard to believe I know. Anyway, on a more serious note, I am a Qualified Professional Photographer who resides in the West Pennine moorland of Rossendale (near Manchester). Although based in the North West, I do work throughout the UK.

You will find there are many sides to my photography. All are tackled with the same level of intensity with total excellence as the main priority. To prove it I have won 16 BIPP Awards since 2013 – in a variety of subjects.

Whichever photography service you may require, you will find I am quite adaptable!

From Commercial to Weddings

Originally, my commercial photography was used mainly as support to my core business of Graphic Design. However, it proved so successful that in 2009 I decided to take photography more seriously and make it an equal professional service.

In 2010, I tried an estate agent specific service concentrating on commercial photography for mansions in the seven figure bracket. This had interesting results and I made some good friends.

By 2012, I was well on the way to demonstrating myself also as a documentary wedding photographer. My style was developing a distinctly humorous edge, with a passion for the quirky. Due to the strength of my work, the BIPP awarded me with a Licentiate Qualification in March 2013.

Then Came The Puffin Man

Following this, my commissions as a photographer increased. I also received awards to match. In 2016, I won nine prizes including the Gold Trophy for Classic Wedding Photographer at the BIPP North West Awards.

In 2016 I decided to concentrate on my wildlife work, with some quite spectacular results! The success was so great that I launched a new brand called The Puffin Man with products sold around the UK. This was matched by winning an Associate Qualification in November 2016. Now that my work has become much more than puffins, The Puffin Man has been swallowed by the Chris Wright Photography brand.

Then Something Worthwhile…

In late 2018 I was heavily involved in the clearing out of the Board and Management of the British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP). With the Institute losing huge sums of money each month, I volunteered to step in and take over as the temporary Office Manager. With several colleagues, this involved the disintegration of the original HQ in Buckinghamshire and moving it to Preston, Lancashire.

From there, I was to start from scratch, finding a way to look after the 1,600 Members, while stopping the ship from taking on water. I was made Chair of the Board of Directors in 2019, and by March 2020 my mission was accomplished, with the ship fully afloat once more and pointing in the right direction with new staff in place.

Time to become a commercial photographer again!
