Mens Health Week - Boxercise

During Men's Health Week two boxercise taster sessions were run by a great guy called Imran who runs a local gym under the name of 'Natural Progression'. With a wit even faster than his hands he ensured that everyone had a really enjoyable experience.

Mens Health Week - Cardiovascular Tests

Last week I was asked to document the Council's various activities which were organised as part of the national Mens Health Week. The focus this year was on 'Access to Services' - Cardiovascular tests for men over the age of 40 were one of the services offered.

Drawing blood in order to test Cholesterol levels

Measuring blood pressure levels

Pamphlets to promote alcohol awareness

New(ish) addition to the family

For my sister's 18th birthday one of her friends got her a hamster as a surprise present. Meet Coco (yes, as in Coco Chanel..), the most camera friendly pet you could ask for. This was her first photoshoot, I think she has a bright future.

Testing, one-two-one-two

So... this is finally the first post on a photo blog that i've been promising for longer than I care to admit.

For those that know me, hey! and for those that don't, please come on in :)

If you're the latter.. I'm a twenty two year old (twenty three in 4 weeks.. when did birthday's go from exciting to scary?!) photographer currently living in Teesside. Last year I graduated from Newcastle University with a BA Hons History degree, with my dissertation subject on 'The impact of photography on American public opinion during the Vietnam War'. Needless to say, i'm completely fascinated by photojournalism, especially the work eminating from conflict zones and long term documentary / social photography projects.

This blog is a means to me pushing myself to regularly post my latest work for you guys to see and to act as somewhat of a motivator for myself to get out there and pursue projects that i'm interested in. Hopefully that is what will make up the main body of the content on here, however, don't be surprised if there's random shots thrown around in there!

I hope you enjoy and follow the development of this blog.

The first image i'm posting is one of my all time favourites and is from a short photo story on Auschwitz. I hope it speaks for itself.

Peace out,

Adam
