About me
A trained eye for any occasion.
I was given my first camera for my 13th Birthday in 1981 by my parents. A Praktica MTL-5 with various lenses, a flashgun and a tripod, topped off with two rolls of Black and White Film.
“OK Dad” I said, “How do I use this then”, My dad looked at me and said “work it out”
What a complicated device, but with my brothers help and a book from the local library I was soon able to work out how to take a photograph. I still to this day get excited about having a film returned from developing, and I do not mean waiting at the local developers for 1 hour service. I only use my film cameras for pleasure nowadays as the digital revolution is here to stay, and I love it. I am passionate about capturing the right shot at the right time. At an event like a wedding or a birthday I put a lot of fun and energy into my day, during studio sessions I work hard to get a smile or a stood still pet.
Although I have only been shooting professionally since 2010, I have had various cameras for 34 years and counting.
I have achieved a BA(Hons) degree in Photography and I am a member of the Royal Photographic Society, and over the years have had about 300 amateur photographers partake in photographic Workshops during my association with NY Images UK Ltd.
As a director of Artco Framing and Mirrors in Leeds with my wife Jackie, I can offer a one stop shop for photography, printing and framing. I hope to see you soon.
I hope you now feel like you know me a little better and I look to working with you and getting to know you in the future.

A reputation is built over many years and destroyed in a matter of seconds. Graham prides himself on his professionalism, enjoyment and love for his job.
Spirit of Christmas Charity
Spirit of Christmas asked Graham for help at our Grotto events in Selby after his name was recommended on a local Facebook page. Absolutely everything from his professional shots to his polite and friendly manner were 100% spot on. He really engaged with the children and the photos are the best we have had in 9 years of running the events. We hope that Graham will be available next year and can wholeheartedly recommend his services. I’d be happy to provide a personal reference for his services if anybody wants one. I was very lucky that Graham’s name was recommended to me and I have no doubt that you will feel the same way. A huge thanks to Graham for the wonderful service provided.

Graham did my children’s passport pictures today, I would highly recommend this service. He was great with my children and the photos look excellent. It was really easy to organise and Graham was a pleasure to deal with. Thank you!
