We were lucky enough to document the amazing work of Jack Drum Arts over the festive season. They took five amazing acts to the doorsteps of people in and around Crook to bring a bit of festive cheer. This is a really inspiring project and as one of the interviewees says, it really shows how we can use the arts to bring people together even in these crazy Covid times.

We were recently commissioned to record the installation of one of the north's most important fashion and photography shows. Catwalking was held at the Bowes Museum, at Barnard Castle and included the photographs of Chris Moore alongside some of the most iconic fashion pieces of the last five decades. Chris Moore is a pioneer of fashion photography, he has been shooting catwalks since before they came into being and this show is a real testament to his life's work. He earned a lifetimes achievement award from the British fashion awards recently to add to his many other well deserved accolades. It was a real honour to document this on his behalf.
