I spent the afternoon on Sunday dodging the showers, working on some new stuff for something that I’m working on. The highlight was that I did have some help from my chief light meter operator and assistant who thinks the Mamiya RB67 is the coolest camera she’s ever used :-) #photography
I thought I’d get some photographs of the state of those England flags that seem to be on all the lamp posts around Pontefract. #documentary #photography #documentaryphotography www.markhillyer.co.uk/blog/strange...
Strange Fruit — Mark Hillyer
About a year or so ago, there was a sudden urgency for people to display their '“love for their country” by hanging flags off anything that stood still for 10 minutes. That love, it appears, faded ...

A few weeks ago, we had a day in London. I walked the streets with no goal in mind, except to drink lots of coffee and go to the Wes Anderson thing at the Design Museum. It turned out to be 35 degrees...I didn't drink that much coffee. #photography www.markhillyer.co.uk/blog/wanderi...
Wandering: London — Mark Hillyer
There probably isn’t a better place to wander, with no where to be for a few hours, than London. Time to kill in London by Mark Hillyer, Leeds & Yorkshire Documentary Photographer

BTS of @conor_medlock in the studio today for some #actorheadshots. A very enjoyable shoot, with maybe one or two funny outtakes too :-) #Photography #headshot #actor #leeds
Last week, my 10 year old daughter and I completed our collection of the Yorkshire 3 peaks, by hiking up Ingleborough. You can see more of the photographs on my blog (link in bio) #yorkshire3peaks #hiking #ukcountryside #sheep #photography
A while back, I was in the Isle of Man. I've finally managed to put together a blog post, so here's some of the photographs that I took while I was there. #photography #documentaryphotography #isleofman #travel www.markhillyer.co.uk/blog/isle-of...

I had several errands to run the other day. Unfortunately, the first one was dropping my van in for a service 3 miles away and walking back home, before heading into Leeds. 1/2 #photography #documentaryphotography #walking
Between work and family, I’ve not really managed much time for anything else but I’m finally starting to get a grip on the #polaroidi2. I’m starting to get a bit nearer to what I wanted to achieve with it and 5 shots I like, out of a pack of 8 is my best hit rate so far !!. #filmphotography
A few more photographs from my recent trip to the Isle of Man. The day before the wedding, I had the opportunity to have a guided tour of Peel on a lovely, sunny morning. Being somewhere new is always inspiring. #thephotohour #photography #isleofman
Calf Sound in the Isle of Man is a beautifully desolate place. It also reminded me that I don’t use my Voigtlander 20mm lens enough
A few photos of stormy evening sunlight hitting Peel in the Isle of Man a couple of weeks ago. #isleofman #travel #thephotohour
I've been updating my site a bit and started to add just a few posts with everyday stuff that I've been photographing, while I make plans for project work. #photography www.markhillyer.co.uk/blog/lakesid...

Doing a bit more clearance at my mums house, I found a box of old stuff in the loft, which included a photo of my mum that I’d never seen before, and a book of state of the art (c1977/78) cars. Treasure from 6 year old me and for 56 yr old me.
March has been a really busy month, workwise. I’ve not had a lot of chance to make much project work, but carrying a camera everywhere has allowed me to get the occasional little bits… #leeds #thephotohour #everydaycarry
My dog, enjoying the sunshine coming through the window into the bedroom. She gives the best stinkeye. #photography #thephotohour #polaroid
A few images from around Leeds as I’ve been doing stuff. Carrying a small compact camera everywhere isn’t something I’ve done for quite a while - getting back into it again now though #leeds #yorkshire #thephotohour #photography
I was doing a bit of work in Newcastle this week. On the quayside there’s a lovely cat cafe. I photographed this handsome dude in the window, eyeing up the pigeons. Have a good Caturday people. #cats #photography #streetphotography #newcastle #thephotohour
A couple of weeks ago, I picked up a Ricoh GRIV as an every day carry camera. I don’t think a camera has ever surpassed my expectations more!! These are just some low res jpeg transfers to my phone from a work overnight in Newcastle. #photography. #ricohgr4 #newcastle
Hole in a fence. There’s not a lot more to say about it really, other than I think what drew me to it was the structured lines of the building against the chaotic lines of the hole torn in the wire fence. #leeds #documentary #photography
A bit more work featuring Tunstall beach on the Yorkshire Coast, as the Royal Observation Corps nuclear monitoring bunker, built in 1951, makes its final journey due to coastal erosion. There’s more ROC Tunstall work on my website (link in bio). #photography #documentary #yorkshire #coast
Tunstall ROC bunker fell into the sea last week. It was 100m inland when it was built in 1951. Parts of the Yorkshire coast are eroding at nearly 2m a year. #documentaryphotography #photography #environment #yorkshire
Finally starting to get on top of the work pile and the life issues that have been swallowing my time up for the last few months and getting back to some project work. Tunstall, on the Yorkshire coast is a perfect example of a settlement that’s struggling against the erosion of the coastline.
A little bit more from my Yorkshire Coastal project, please feel free to take a look - comments welcome (mostly). #documentary #photography #yorkshire #coastal #erosion #environment www.markhillyer.co.uk/blog/tunstal...
The Last days of Tunstall ROC Bunker — Mark Hillyer
Images from my documentary photography project to show the scope of coastal erosion on the Yorkshire Coastline: When Tunstall ROC was built, it was 90-100m back from the cliff top, safe from erosion. ...
