Record breaking crowds of around 40 000 people on Saturday marked the start of another Africa Oye. It's one of my favourite events, a short walk from my house, with some brilliant world music artists and incredible vibe at Liverpool's Sefton Park. I've been covering the festival now over 10 years for an agency and still love working it. Massive thanks to all the organisers behind the scenes, who do an amazing job. Anyway a few highlights. As ever please contact me directly if you want to use / licence any images. Thanks.

Lots of images from three busy days working at the ACC and Exhibition centre Liverpool for the Labour Party conference 2025
There is something uniquely rewarding about photographing people in spaces where they feel confident, professional, and proud. That’s exactly the atmosphere I stepped into during a recent commission at a newly opened dental surgery — a sleek, modern practice blending cutting-edge care with a warm, welcoming environment..
Wow 12 months roll around quickly. It doesn't seem 5 minutes ago that I was dashing between fringe events and public relations photo shoots. But here we again in the run up to another Labour Party Conference in Liverpool in 2025.
