Hi, I'm Callum a Sheffield based editorial, adventure and lifestyle photographer.
My work has ranged from explorations into how we engage with the British landscape to communities during periods of highstreet decline and documenting ultra endurance athletes. With experience in automotive, sports, events, assisting and post production.
Research led and narrative driven, I strive to understand my subjects and portray them truthfully, believing that empathy and trust are the foundations for making this possible. dynamic and adaptable

I filmed for large parts, which shall be going into production soon. The story is incredible, the experience was rich, varied, challenging at times but a baptism by fire into the field of adventure media.
