There and back again // A photographer's tale • by Barnaby Aldrick
My backstory is that I’ve always been observant. Me mam said I had ‘Sharp eyes’. It didn’t take long before I started to enjoy photography. As a young teenager I used to get packed off on organised annual canal holiday camps, cruising the delectable waterways of Birmingham with 50 random kids, who over the years […]
Another Birthday stroll, this time at Harewood // photography by Barnaby Aldrick
It was my brother Murray’s birthday this weekend. He’d hit 27 hard and rolled in at 4am the night previous. Lets just say it was hard work prizing him from his duvet at 12:30. ‘Gaunt’ would make a fitting adjective. Mum decided to round the troops at noon for bday Roast lamb! At noon fifteen […]
Dan Wilde Live Video // New Leads at Left Bank, Leeds • by Barnaby Aldrick
My buddy and all round skill musician Gavin Mart asked me along to photograph his ‘New Leads’ gig at ‘Left Bank’ arts space in Leeds last Friday. While I was photographing Dan Wilde (who’s played my Sunday Service night several times) Gav asked if I could shoot a little video and this is what I […]
Leeds Guide Magazine // Xmas Party Shoot with Miss Harrogate • by Barnaby Aldrick
One of the shoots on last weeks Leeds Guide brief was to photograph Miss Harrogate in various party frocks from the shops of Leeds. Life is hard. This one was probably my fave and has my vote for the issue cover. Miss Harrogate is actually Vivienne Edge a pro model based in Leeds. I didn’t […]

May & June Issue Faves [Leeds Guide magazine shoots]
I just realised I’d not posted any of the features pix I shoot for the Leeds Guide magazine for a while. So here’s a few from a couple of issues back… This dude was for a My Favourite Outfit feature in June, I believe. He worked in the Vivienne Westwood shop in the ace Victorian […]
Jane, Mark & little Archie [Family photography]
I spent a couple of hours in Roundhay Park today with our pals Jane, Mark & little Archibald. I think they’d said to us at a dinner party that they hadn’t really got anything but point and shoot photos of Archie, so asked if Clare & I fancied joining them for a family day out […]
Carol & Jon [Wedding]
One sunny weekend a few weekends back I joined Carol, Jon & gang for their wedding at Goldsborough Hall in North Yorkshire. It was such a lovely, downtempo affair on a glorious day. Being their second marriages, they didn’t want to over egg the pudding and go over the top. I personally think they hit […]
June pre-wed blitz! [Pre-Weds]
Well it’s shooting season again! Weddings are rolling up & through thick and fast now. I don’t think I’ve a free weekend till mid August. B man’s starting to envy these kids throwing mad weddings & bouncing off to Mauritius to chill in stilted huts! But summer’s filled with cool clients and cool places to […]
