Stephen Garnett is one of those rare photographers who not only has a real eye and talent for taking pictures, but he is also very popular in the community. He brings in dozens of off-diary stories and has contacts everywhere.
The Craven Herald covers a large, mainly rural area which does limit the opportunities for more dramatic news, but one of Stephens key skills is his ability to turn even the most mundane subject into an interesting and quality image.
He offers a creative dynamic that can turn a cheque presentation or a school fundraiser into fun and interesting images, rather than straight line-ups.
He consistently produces a remarkable array of photographs ranging from beautiful snow pictures which resemble paintings, stunning shots of rural life to more hard-hitting and emotional images. Regardless of the job, the Craven Herald is enriched by the quality of images Stephen offers us.
