LOROS Forget Me Not Flower Appeal - Jubilee Square Leicester


During July 2018 Leicester Hospice LOROS brought a sea of colour to Jubilee Square in the city with limited edition wrought iron Forget Me Not flowers filling the grassed areas of the square.
Available for purchase each flower symbolises the life of a loved one who is no longer with us.
Due to a hot spell of weather the grass below the flowers was not its usual green but that didn`t distract from the spectacular display of light blue glossy flowers as they caught the suns rays.
As I wondered through them the stories and memories of those people the flowers symbolised could be heard drifting across the square, making for a reflective but not sad atmosphere.
The money raised from the Forget Me Not sales will go to fund the valuable work at LOROS, offering important support for local people and their loved ones who are living with terminal illness.
for more information on the work of LOROS please visit www.loros.co.uk

A special thanks to BBC Radio Leicester for allowing me to capture the elevated view of the square.

This short film was shot by me during the early morning sunrise at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. The film features Bradgate park which was the birthplace and early home of Lady Jane Grey - 9 days Queen of England. The park is well known for its herds of red and fallow deer who roam freely amongst the spectacular scenery of this unspoilt part of Leicestershire.

BMX National Series at Huncote Hornets, Leicestershire

The 29th and 30th September 2018 saw the #BMX National Series come to #Leicester Huncote Hornets BMX track, The event (rescheduled due to weather issues in early spring) saw riders of all ages arrive in the Leicestershire town from across the country to do battle on the Hornets BMX track behind the Pavilion leisure center. My film aims to give a sense of the race atmosphere on day two of the event where a dramatically cloudy sky and lighting gave a cinematic feel to races on the track. Hold on tight this is a fast one !.

The Paris - Roubaix Bike Race - April 2013

My film features the professional (and dusty !) Paris - Roubaix Bike Race which took place in April 2013 and was filmed at various locations along the route in France. The Race takes place (as its name suggests) on a route between Paris and Roubaix in northern France and is famous for its rough terrain and cobblestones which often cause riders to fall and gives the race its nickname of 'The Hell of the North & 'A Sunday in Hell'. The event was first run in 1896 and as one of cycling's oldest races draws large crowds from many country's. The race was created by two Roubaix textile manufacturers, Théodore Vienne and Maurice Perez.
