Make A Date With Leicester

I was delighted to be commissioned to create the photography for Make a Date with Leicester – a vibrant series of city guides showcasing the very best of what Leicester has to offer.

The guides highlighted the city’s restaurants, bars, cafés, leisure, beauty & wellness, shopping and hotels. Each feature was brought to life with fresh, engaging photography, designed to capture not just the places themselves, but the atmosphere and character that makes Leicester so special.

Seeing the finished guides in print and featured on the Visit Leicester website was a real highlight. It’s always rewarding to know that my photography helps shine a spotlight on the city – giving visitors and locals a flavour of what’s on offer and encouraging people to explore more.

We’ve Missed You

‘We’ve Missed You’ campaign was a Leicester City Council initiative launched in May 2021 to support businesses and encourage residents and visitors back into the city centre after Lockdown. Funded by European Regional Development fund ( ERDF) reopening High Streets Safely campaign, I was commissioned to work on the project.

Caribbean Carnival 2019


One of the city’s most popular events, the Caribbean Carnival attracts thousands of people who gather to watch the parade through the city.

The Carnival’s theme this year was Windrush, celebrating Caribbean migrants’ contribution to the economic and cultural development of the United Kingdom.

Capturing the energy and vibrance of the carnival is any photographer’s dream. Beautiful people all shapes and sizes bringing the streets alive with colour. We live in a body conscious world, social media unfortunately contributes to anxiety and depression as many people feel they cannot live up to what they think they should be. The Caribbean Carnival helps to put life into perspective, that we should celebrate our bodies each and every day. We should say ‘hey I am alive, I have this day to make a difference’.

Here is a very small selection of Beth’s photography over the last few months.  It is essential for Beth to work with people who value pictures. Beth has had wonderful feedback from companies and  individuals who see the importance of working with a creative person who offers vision to any project.

#DMUglobal New York Trip 2018

We arrived in New York on the 3rd of January. On the morning of the 4th, ‘bomb cyclone’ was already in motion, dumping more than a foot of snow on parts of the Big Apple. The blizzard blanketed the city and created whiteout conditions with gusts reaching 49mph. It’s hard to put into words how cold it actually was. My main aim was to keep my camera from freezing up. Despite the conditions this didn’t stop the team from working hard to capture the students’ time out there.

Experiences that will stay with me

Photographing alumna, Sam Mclver, who experienced a moving visit to the New York Police Department headquarters where she was able to thank officers for their support when her aunt was killed in the Manchester bombings. Her aunt, Elaine McIver, had been a police officer with Cheshire Police. The NYPD officers had been in touch with Sam’s family and sent plaques and a card with their condolences.

Photographing DMU Students as they visited the 9/11 memorial at Ground Zero was a tough experience. I could see it had left an indelible mark on the students, it was a real struggle to take it in or to grasp. I lifted my camera but in honesty, it was difficult to capture seeing the faces of all the people that had lost their lives, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, friends, people just like you and me.

The beautiful sunset over Manhattan taken from Brooklyn will definitely stay with me. It was hard to believe I was actually present in that moment.

New York is a city that never stops, never sleeps, a place I definitely want to return to.

P.S.  I still need to get to grips with the Subway 😉

 

 

Diwali 2017

Diwali celebrations in Leicester are famously some of the biggest and best outside of India. The festivities are loudest along Belgrave Road, in the heart of the city’s Asian community, where the two main events take place each year.

The fantastic Diwali lights switch-on brings the Golden Mile alive with light and colour  with Fireworks and over 6,000 lights, twinkling against the night sky. Two weeks of cultural celebrations are rounded off on Diwali day with a bang! A spectacular fireworks show is the culmination of a night of Bollywood dances and music performances.

Students welcomed to DMU

Freshers were officially welcomed to De Montfort University Leicester as they attended the annual Matriculation ceremonies  at The Venue@DMU.

Students were treated to a spectacular hour-long show which showcased all of the best things about the university and were given useful information about the various opportunities available to them during their time at DMU.
