Hey Squirrel friends!
So I love photographing events. Like, seriously love it. There's something indescribable about that feeling at an event when you see a moment coming up & get yourself into position, you take a moment to make sure your technicals are correct & you press down on that shutter before the moment has gone forever, hoping to God that you didn't leave the lens cap on (Kidding!! Kinda....) I love photographing big events because you can find all these beautiful little moments that would otherwise go amiss amongst the hubbub & chaos of everything, especially at Prides. Pride events are all about everyone coming together to forget about our differences and to show & spread love, which is a message I feel is even more prevalent in these uncertain times. I want my photography work at Pride events to bring happiness to people, but also to stand as a beacon to everyone in our LGBTQ+ community & our allies that, although dark days may lie ahead, we will always come together to celebrate & our show our love to each other.
So here we are, a collection of some of my favourite images that I've shot for a few Pride events over the past few years. Humblebrag alert; I'm very happy to say that the first image in this collection won the Love in London Photography Award for 2020! Anywho, I hope that these images bring you joy to look through & show, in some part, why I love photographing Prides so much. Hope you enjoy & as always, if you like what you see, please do feel free to buy me a rosé!
Loves & things,
