My favourite photography spots - Bradford edition
There’s a good chance that if someone asked you to name a picture-perfect spot for photography, Bradford is not the first place that would spring to mind. But as someone born and still living here, I have learned that we’ve got plenty of places of beauty in and around the region, if you know where to look.
Nestled in the heart of West Yorkshire, Bradford is a vibrant and culturally rich city known for its industrial heritage and architectural marvels, but perhaps not so much for the natural beauty of its outlying villages. As a photographer I suppose I’m more likely to be be looking for - and to find - these places (or maybe just to appreciate them?) From historic landmarks to hidden gems tucked away in its rugged corners, Bradford offers plenty of choice and opportunities to find great locations for outdoor photoshoots.
From Bingley to Baildon, and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Saltaire through to Thornton and Haworth - in no particular order - here are a few of my faves spots for family or dog photography, or just to take the camera when out walking.
I’m always on the lookout for new spots, so please let me know of any other locations worth visiting.
