Funeral Photography and Video

Documentary Storytelling Funeral Photography and Filmmaking.

This isn’t normal is it?
It’s not every day that someone dies within your close circles but when they do, you, your friends, families and communities come together to unite in grief and also celebrate the lives of those that have left this realm for the next.

On their final day with us, following the departure of their soul, some people find it in their hearts to want the day recording with photography and or video to tell their final story.
Sure it’s a sad affair with plenty of tears but also a time of love and togetherness.
One local lady commissioned me in 2022 to do some photography at the funeral of her son who committed suicide, which was devastating for her and his young family that he left behind.
Sadly her husband also passed away less than two years after her son and I was invited back to document his final day.
This time I took it a step further and created a highlights film.

Here it is, but please only watch it if you don’t mind welling up with tears and be strong….

Hinckley Bid's 9th Annual Soap Box Derby Film

The Soap Box Derby

Hinckley BID (Business Improvement District) organise many social events in the small market town centre in Leicestershire every year in what is now becoming an historic tradition.

I was commissioned to create a short film of the whole event and arrived early on the Sunday morning of the race day.  The first thing I encountered was the huge numbers of entrants hanging around in the pits, tinkering around and putting the final touches towards their carts.

The Soap Box Derby is a timed solo race down Castle Street which is a large hill named after a small Mott and Bailey that centered in Hinckley many years ago.  Castle Street is a long downhill gradient and the course is manufactured with a chicane and a ramp with a large stopping and turning area at the bottom of the hill.

Thousands of people come to Hinckley from all over the UK to watch the derby and this film is a short tribute to everyone that takes part in both the racing and the organisation.

The commission was to create this short film with a focus upon the event and the crowds that flock to watch and for the purpose of showcasing the extent the BID go to, to bring people in to the town centre and to show how good for local business are the BID and the events that bring the footfall.
