I love Leeds for branding shoots and often find some brilliant places for photos, so today I’m sharing my favourite spots for Instagram photos in Leeds.
The Corn Exchange
There are just so many choices in the corn exchange. But a word of warning – Avoid photos on the edges unless you’re near a window as your photos will be dull and have heavy shadows.
Otherwise get into all the unusual little shops (the plant shop and record shops are my favourites!) and face towards a window.
Outside Leeds Market
There are some really good murals outside Leeds market, and if you get a nice sunny day try the bright coloured one that runs down the side.
And there’s one at the back of the market (the dodgier side) which is great if it’s the too sunny. When it’s really sunny you’re generally facing the sun and you’ll be all squinty!
Issho & East 59th bar/restaurant
These two restaurants have been so great at accommodating me for phtooshoots (and when it’s raining they’re a god send). Both have stylish bar areas and restaurants and more impressively they have beautiful outside seating areas.
Leeds Dock
If you have a wander down towards The Royal Armouries you’re in for a real treat and absolutely loads of places for photos. Quirky buildings, lots of murals and lots of colours.
Greek street for restaurants
There are loads of great places for photos on Greek street. If you can get a table near the windows (or sit outside) there are some really pretty & funky spots.
The calls
For gorgeous cobbled streets and old brick walls you won’t find better than down by The calls.
It’s usually pretty quiet down there too, so no embarrassment as you take the photos!
I’m always on the look out for new places, so if you know any amazing graffiti just let me know!
