Jorvik Viking Festival
Capturing the action and those moments in between
In 2020, before all the lockdowns, Vikings took over the city of York. The annual JORVIK Viking Festival is an impressive mix of events in February that culminates with an impressive march through the city, a battle at the Eye of York and a firework finale.

The brief
Visit York wanted a selection of images that they could use on their website and social media to promote future events.
They also wanted a selection of images that could be turned around on the day and be posted on social media.
The work
Due to the weather, the battle and finale was called off, but we were able to get shots of the march, as well as getting in and amongst the Vikings before setting off.
A series of press shots were also arranged at the Eye of York to capture a battle scene.
