Yorkshire Museum PhotographyYorkshire Museum Photography
When I started my career as a press photographer in Yorkshire, I used to love visiting local museums. I would photograph new exhibits and exhibitions, talk to the curators and wallow in the history. On rare occasions I actually got chance to visit archaeological digs and see the really work happening close up.
Since being a freelance Yorkshire photographer, I have had chance to work with several museum and heritage organisations. Whether shooting PR Photography for the forestry commission or the National Civil War Centre I’ve loved the chance to learn more and be creatively involved.
History is about imagination and you need a certain amount of human drama to engage with it. Holding the Newark Torc in my hand gave me a tangible shiver. To think of the craftsmen who made such an amazing object and the people who wore it.
So if you would like to know a little bit more then head over to Museum Photography in Yorkshire.

Visiting local producers is always interesting when you are curious about how things are made. I recently did a shoot for Co-Op supermarkets where I got chance to visit many food suppliers around Yorkshire. While growing beef cattle doesn’t hold a great deal of mystery to me, I did find that the manufacture if crisps and sweets utterly fascinating. I also got the opportunity to visit a couple of breweries and loved the free samples.
The premise of the shoot was essentially environmental portraits, of the boss, at the business. They wanted the images editing into black and white too. Black and White images actually suit my style of photography as the lighting gives the images a natural pop.
Working as a Freelance photographer in Yorkshire I really get to see a lot of different businesses. Seeing so many for one commission was a real treat.

Fashion in Yorkshire - Sheffield Fashion Photographer Doug Jackson
John Lewis (7)Fashion at the 2017 Great Yorkshire Show: John Lewis, Becksondergaard clutch bag £65 available in Loved & Found; Pure acid yellow coat (available next season); Kin Laura Slater tie back top £49; And/Or Avalon ankle grazer denim £85; Kin Erland navy shoe £75.
I recently wrote a blog post about some of my fashion photography. Although based in Sheffield my work takes me all over the place. These shoots meant that I could visit country houses, a museum and even a heritage railway.
I decided to do a blog post about these shoots as I thought it might be good for people to see the more usual side of fashion photography. It’s not all Avant guard and hyper weird, often it more like a catalogue shoot.
These images were all shot on Canon 5d mk3 and 4 and L-series lenses. Typically I work with canon flashes on Manfrotto Nano light stands.
Big thanks to all the models that made these shoots so much fun.

Falmouth Classics Photography 2019
Falmouth Classics was sadly called off this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019 I was fortunate enough to get a crew slot on Kate Rose, a friend’s Cornish Crabber. Kate Rose sports a fine gaff cutter rig and therefore qualifies to race with all the fleet both big and small. Based around Falmouth Haven the classic racing also coincides with the sea shanty festival. This certainly encourages the sailor to have a few extra beers and sing a merry jig, or two.
I love Falmouth and feel very at home there. It is reminiscent of my hometown of Whitby on the North-East coast apart from the sailing , which is a little bit more civilised than that bleak coast line.

Sheffield Steel and History by Sheffield based Freelance Photographer - Doug Jackson
If you are interested in industrial photography then check out my recent blog post. Sheffield has an amazing history of heavy industry and steel production. The steel industry, quite literally, built the city of Sheffield and it still continues to this day. In this blog post I share some of the interesting facts I have learnt about the steel industry in Sheffield and also show some examples of my work.

Back lit with wireless flash gives very dramatic effects. The couple were not stood in the rain here but inside a porch with the flash in the rain: pic courtesy of DJP WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY |
Trusty chamois cut into 6 inch squares will last you a lifetime if kept dirt/grit free. Better than an expensive lens cloth too. |

I used two flashes in this pic. One front right on the trousers and one rear and left (from camera). shutter speed 1/50th at f 6.3 and 140mm. 640 iso pic: Doug Jackson |
This is a more neutral exposure using alot more ambient with just a bit of fill flash. 1/60th, f6.3 iso 1000. pic: Doug Jackson |
This shot uses two wireless flashes. One is in front and above Keith (again look at the shadow on the nose) and the other is on the logs. f5.6 1/200 and iso160 pic: Doug Jackson |
Again a completely ambient light shot on a long lens. This is a great time to us the AV setting on you camera (A on Nikons). You know you want the aperture wide open so you tell the camera you want f2.8 and let it do the rest. Aperture priority has its uses. I shot this at f4.0 as at f2.8 my 70-200mm lens can have too narrow a depth of field and unless the focusing is bang on there is softness. The Canon 5D mkII's focus tracking is just terrible! pic: Doug Jackson |
Two flashes used here. One left and rear (see light on tree) and on e front and camera right on Cameron. Watching him land these jumps is amazing. pic: Doug Jackson |
Standard long lens cycling down a path pic: Doug Jackson |
Not enough fill flash on this one but the skill is just amazing. (his..not mine) pic: Doug Jackson |
This is essentially a high wire act. I did not expect him to look at the camera for these shots. pic: Doug Jackson |
I always get a standard headshot type image. This one has committed the heinous press photographers crime of having a thumbs up....oh the shame! pic: Doug Jackson |
This shot of Andrew was take utilising a small spot of natural light poking through the branches. I quite like it but its a shame the lower hand is obscured by something. pic: Doug Jackson |
Lots of fill flash on the RHS here to compensate for the sun. Again both these pictures are examples of why its good to use a wide and a long lens for portraits. pic: Doug Jackson |

Bare Flash = Hard shadows and small catchlights in the eyes (Catchlights are the reflections from the flash) |
Shoot through umbrella: Nice big catchlights and an soft omni-lighting. It's a small light room so the spill out the back of the umbrella throw the light about |
Shoot Through softbox umbrella : Slightly harder shadows and a more 'directional' feel than the normal shoot through umbrella.. just like a big round softbox...which essentially is what it is! |
Small Soft box.. Small catchlights and a softened light compared to a bare bulb. It just shows that a small softbox does not do much |
