MANCHESTER. In Monochrome – Part Two

So, following up Part One, naturally, here’s the rest of the shots I took on my easy ramble around the city.

He also has an interest in photography and has gone on to complete a graphics course at University and I believe is now setting himself up in a freelance capacity.  My ‘studio’ was very basic, a couple of sheets hung […]
