Matthew Jones Photography

For many years Mich Stevenson  has been highly involved in regeneration projects in Nottingham, and he was instrumental in the formation of the Lace Market Heritage Trust, to inspire regeneration of projects in the historic Lace Market including the Galleries of Justice and the National Ice Centre.

His many awards include an OBE in 1998,  an Honorary Freeman of the City of Nottingham in 2005 and a n honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from the University of Nottingham in 2010 and is currently one of the main directors on the Sport England Board.


I didn't have much time with Mich, fortunately his office provided plenty to work with photographically,  although the predominant back lighting presented it's own challenges.  I think most photographers like the process and challenge of these assignments;  adhering to a brief, taking account of light, environment,  applying the framework of a style, and working with another person.
