Paul, Barbara and Ruth

A few weeks ago I was delighted to be asked to judge the images entered into a photography competition by members of staff at Alliance and Leicester.

There was a high standard of entries across the five categories and I was tasked with selecting a winner for each category and then an overall winner.

Part of the winners prize was to be a portrait session with yours truly, and at the beginning of the week I shot up to Liverpool for the day to meet up with the winner, Paul Kirwan, and his wife, Barbara, and daughter, Ruth.

We met at the Albert Dock in Liverpool, a location that I wasn't familiar with despite numerous trips up to Liverpool in the past.

Around the dock area there were some great locations and backdrops. Here are a few favourites, including one taken against the glass backdrop of the new ferry terminal, and one using one of Liverpool's icon Three Graces as a backdrop:













It was good to catch up with Paul again. If only I'd know that he was interested in photography all those years ago...
