BHF – Ed Miliband / Take the Stairs Challenge Sheffield

It’s been another busy weekend with photographs for the BHF. After photographing Nick Clegg the other week I was asked back to another school in Doncaster to photograph the leader of the opposition Ed Miliband instead…

 

but no rest for the wicked. The next day was straight back to Sheffield for the inaugural ”Take the Stairs Challenge” at University of Sheffield freshly refurbished “Arts Tower”.

Photographing Nick Clegg

Last week I got an email off the British Heart Foundation, this it not unusual as I do a bit of volunteering photography for them locally.

This one was different though, this was not a few volunteers dancing around Sheffield Town Centre & fighting with other shooters for the shot. This was Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, I’d be the only photographer, checks date, no it really wasn’t April 1st.

So last Friday I found myself in a classroom at St Marie’s Catholic Primary School, as the children demonstrated & chatted candidly about the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) and Resuscitation Council UK’s (RCUK) work promoting the teaching of Emergency Life Support (ELS) skills in schools.

Anyway, here’s a selection of pictures from today…

BHF Zumbathon Promo

I've been out to Sheffield to do another photoshoot for the British Heart Foundation. They are holding a 'Zumbathon' at Don Valley Stadium on Sunday 10th July 2011, with Zumba instructors from Sheffield International Venues. "Join newcomers and Zumba lovers, young and old, to support the British Heart Foundation's life-saving Mending Broken Hearts Appeal.

Just in case (like me until today) have no idea what Zumba is, Zumba is (according to wiki) a dance fitness program originating in Colombia during the 1990s. The program combines international music with dance in an effort to make exercise fun. Zumba classes are offered through licensed instructors in more than 110,000 locations in over 125 countries.
