A Commemoration for the Fallen

A Week as the In-House Photographer for the York Museums Trust Press Office

I recently completed a 5 day stint at the press office for the York Museums Trust (more info here). I was asked to photograph a whole range of things, and was kept very busy throughout the week.

I wrote a short blog piece for the York Museums Trust website, which you can read here

Below are some of my photographs.

I had a fantastic and very educational week, and I will be going back to do another 5 days in December.
