Candid street photography from Barnsley, England. On assignment in Barnsley it became clear why street photography is best performed in a big city. The only person walking around with a camera, I was the subject of a lot of suspicion and even had one local say, "you have a camera in your hand, you pervert!" while I simply walked down the street. The weather was dismal, the town was grim and almost deserted and I didn't see a single person smiling. I love a challenge though!

Candid eye contact street photography from Barnsley, England. There is a cultural stereotype that people from Yorkshire have short arms and deep pockets. I can't comment on this but those that I spent time with during my assignment were generous of soul and generous with their time. Enjoy!

Previously unpublished shot captured candidly on my short walk back to the hotel from Barnsley town centre in November 2018. It had been a very wet day on my final day of shooting in Barnsley for a client so a spontaneous smile was very welcome. Enjoy!

Back in the 80s my mum would sew patches onto my jeans when I made the 'fashionable' stringy holes in them. They were TINY holes... not sure what she would have done with these jeans!!!
On a serious note, temperatures are set to plummet in for the coming few days and be several degrees below average for the time of year. With the cost of living crisis in mind, with many living in much colder houses than usual, please keep an eye on the more vulnerable. Hypothermia can be insidious and go unnoticed by those suffering. Stay safe all.
