About Ed Photography is more than a job for Ed, it is a true passion. When he's not making portraits of pop stars, politicians and actors, documenting urban regeneration, or ensuring a city's latest bar or restaurant looks its best, he's travelling far and wide in search of new angles on modern life for one of his acclaimed exhibitions or publications. Some History Ed is an award-winning former journalist, writer and multimedia artist. He went freelance in 2004 after working as an AP for several years at the BBC, and prior to that as a writer for the Manchester Evening News and Metro News. As well as accepting short and long-term commissions, Ed exhibits widely and publishes in a range of books and journals. His work has been featured in publications including The British Journal of Photography, Ag, Aesthetica, and Digital Photographer. In 2005 he published his first softback entitled Lost and Stolen, which went on to be featured in the 2006 Argentum book, Photo Projects, by Chris Dickie. Ed has since been working on a number of other book projects ranging from fine art to documentary. Prints of Ed's work have been exhibited at - among other places - Manchester's Northern Quarter Gallery, Sketch 360 Studios, Salford's Chapman Gallery, the BBC, Chorlton Arts Festival, Heaton Park, London's Clarion Gallery, The Royal Exchange Theatre, and 5A The Gallery, St. Helens. Future Plans Ed is currently preparing his solo "Shoot the Street" show, to be exhibited at the FORMAT International Photography Festival, Derby, in March 2011.
