Jim Poyner · York
About
Jim Poyner is a photographer based in York, shooting weddings, families, portraits, architecture, food and events across Yorkshire and the UK.
Approach
I have been taking pictures since I was nine, and had my own darkroom by eleven. It is all digital now, give or take the polaroids I still shoot for the fun of it, and fifteen years of professional work sits behind every booking.
Along the way I have run out-of-school clubs for excluded children and master-classes for A-level students, and had work shown at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow and the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art.
Weddings are covered alone wherever possible: small cameras, a glass of fizz in hand, and enough conversation to disappear into the day. Commercial work runs the same way. Every portrait, product, party and wedding gets the best of me, and I enjoy all of it.
