Welcome to In Real Light Photography

This page is home to my landscape and portrait work -
photographed in real light, just as it is.

I’m drawn to people, places, and moments that don’t ask to be performed. No staging. No spectacle. Just presence, light, and the everyday beauty around us.

This space is intentionally separate from my pageant photography, which lives elsewhere.

Thank you for being here 🤍

This striking black-and-white landscape photograph captures the serene yet dramatic beauty of Liverpool’s iconic M&S Bank Arena and the Wheel of Liverpool at night. Through a masterful interplay of light and shadow, the image highlights the glowing Ferris wheel, its bright LEDs stark against the dark sky, while the surrounding streetlights cast soft, reflective halos on the empty pavement below. The low-angle perspective elevates the structure, giving the Ferris wheel an imposing presence, while the quiet stillness of the empty scene invites a sense of urban solitude. The high contrast and sharp lines of the photograph, combined with the smooth textures of the reflective ground, evoke a timeless, cinematic quality. This image speaks to the quiet elegance of cityscapes after dark, where light and shadow work in harmony to reveal the beauty in unexpected moments. It is a captivating piece that brings a sense of calm and contemplation to any space, offering a glimpse into the quiet grandeur of Liverpool.

Take That!

What an incredible weekend so far! We still can’t quite believe a dream came true for Daniel Rooney Music on Friday after being talent spotted in our Oui Bar and opening the hydro before returning to close the Oui Bar. 🤩

We have live entertainment tonight from 5-7.30pm and again from 10pm-midnight the perfect warm up for the hydro and venue to continue the party afterwards!

Jason Flood provides the pre hydro soundtrack and Johnny Mac & The Faithful & Kevin McGuire are playing the post hydro show so take that and party! 🎤 💃 🎉

The Oui Bar is open for food and drinks from midday until midnight and the Scotland’s BEST bar the Sky Bar with the best view in city until 1am!

Walk ins are most welcome all day but you can book ahead by visiting dishcult.com and searching Radisson RED.

Let the Sunday Funday commence!
