A few of you have reached out about my recent post where I mentioned my day job as a headshot, registry office and event photographer. You can safely assume that if I can get a decent shot of you doing 60mph on a bike without you noticing, I can definitely get one of you standing still in a suit.

A few things about the other side of what I do:

1. Most people's natural headshot face sits somewhere between a passport photo, a police mugshot and a hostage negotiation proof of life image. We fix that by actually talking to you, not just pointing a lens and hoping. My line in mother-in-law jokes is unsurpassed.

2. Registry office weddings are fun and dynamic: Typically shorter than the best man's speech and longer than the mother-in-law's dress.

3. One customer of mine changed his LinkedIn photo after a session and texted me two weeks later to say he'd got a date off the back of it. I'm taking full credit for that one. Can't promise the same results, but I'll always give you some zing.

4. The way we win - I'm friendly, relaxed, and I'll come to you — no trek into a city, no studio queue, no waiting room small talk.

So if you need photos done properly — not a passport booth special, not your mate snapping you on the landing as you leave the bathroom holding a tape measure — go to profilepictures.co.uk.

Send me a message and I'll get you booked in. Oh - and If you don't love your shots, we sort it — no arguing, no quibble. That's a promise.

I'm back at Devil's Bridge, Kirkby Lonsdale this weekend — Saturday and Sunday. It looks like the weather will behave so it's a chance to get out and get some fresh air.

Last time was one of the best turnouts I've had all year, so if you're heading up, look out for me stood by the bridge with a camera. Ride past like you mean it, wave if you're feeling flash, and I'll get you looking faster than you actually were.

Photos will be live and ready to buy from Monday — tag the mate who's heading up there with you, and give the page a follow so you don't miss the link.

See you on the road.

It’s a short week, but it’s still technically hump day today…. Go on, work from home. Send a meeting invite to a mate in your calendars so it looks like you’re both busy.

You don’t need a reason to get the bike out. You just need to stop waiting for one.

Thanks to those who waved and stopped for chats at Loomies Moto Cafe today. The weather just about held and a fun day was capped by the smiles and the greetings. Photos are now live - check my bio for the website or follow the links in the first comment.

B2GOF - use that code for a 3rd digital photo free if you buy 2. Big shout to the .motorcycles groups who went past - your bikes looked great!

See you soon,
Ed

I’m back at Loomies Moto Cafe today - probably the last one for a while as we’re heading north next week. The weather looks ok, not sure how many more Sundays we’ll get this year to get out and ride. My advice is if you’re thinking about it, don’t cut the grass or wash the car, grab your keys and saddle up.

And if you’re looking for a great shot of you on your bike - or in your car - I’ll be in my usual spot about half a mile north of Loomies from around 9:30 to 3pm. Slow down, leave a gap and give a big wave - and I’ll do the rest.

Pictures are always up the same day - the website is in my bio and I’ll post a link to the gallery this evening.

Ride safe, Ed

A few months ago I shot a product campaign for a client, Root & River Yoga— a new and exciting UK yoga mat brand. I went into it as a regular job: light the product, make it look as good in a photo as it does in the box, move on.

I didn't expect to come out the other end wanting one for myself. I don't do yoga. Stretching is something I do for the TV remote or for a b**r.

But you handle enough product as a photographer to know within about ten minutes whether something's actually very well made or just well marketed.

This was the former.

I only ever put my name near something if I genuinely rate it — which is also the only kind of brand photography work I accept.
I'm not going all Victor Kiam here, but I am now the proud owner of a Root & River yoga mat, I stretch daily and have never felt better. The mat is incredibly comfortable and oozes quality.
I have agreed with the team at Root & River that I can offer mats to anyone who follows me at a 15% discount. If you want one (or more) of a mat that's converted me from a cynic to a gymnast (well, almost) then let me know and I'll hook you up.

They retail at £135 each, but I have a discount code that gets you a mat for just £114.75. Just use the code ED15 at checkout. The link is here: https://rootandriveryoga.com/products/

One thing I've noticed lately. There's more and more old 'uns going past me as I take photos from my little chair in the hedge. No offence to the kids (I love you and the photos you buy) but with the baby vroomers I get:

1. No wheelies. No riding like your tail's on fire when the lights change trying to prove something to a seventeen year old in a hot hatch. Just a calm nod going past, like they've got nothing left to prove and know it.

2. They're not racing each other either. They want their mates beside them, the scenery, and an actual coffee stop — not aiming for a personal best. They've quietly unlocked the real Easy Rider dream. Not the weird drug fuelled version with the drama in it; the good one.

3. It's never about being seen. Ask why they ride and it's never "the thrill" — it's closer to "the only two hours all week where nobody wants anything from me." Bikes get you in the papers at seventeen and out of your own head at fifty. Funny how that works.

4. The number of over-55s passing their motorcycle test has gone up more than 80% in the last five years, and test passes specifically at age 60 have more than doubled over that period. And I think that's fantastic.

And before anyone says I'm talking about someone else — I'm a paid-up member of the silver riders myself. Smiles and Miles is my mantra. Never "drop a gear and disappear". I ride a Harley. Best I can do is "drop a gear. S**t. I'm still here".

Tag the mate who still thinks a bike at fifty is a midlife crisis. It's not — it's the bit where you stop needing to impress anyone and go and have a nice time instead. Just passed your test? Let's see what you got. Bonus points if I took your photo.

Follow along and I'll be out shooting most weekends — decent odds I catch you mid grin.
