This 96-page publication celebrates the work of Manchester City Council’s Cultural Regeneration Team. Fifty-five individual arts projects were profiled from Bangladeshi dance to wheelchair ballroom dancing and from a monster parade to a ‘Halloween Howler’.

For Snapshot I researched, interviewed, wrote, photographed, edited and project managed. The book was designed and printed by the Council’s in-house design team.

“Having produced a great little publication in 08/09 for east Manchester, we commissioned Len to profile all of the city’s cultural regeneration programme for this latest Snapshot book. As a photographer and writer with an understanding of how engaging people in creative activities can change lives, he has accurately profiled both our activities and our approach to cultural regeneration. With professionalism and good humour, Len has steered us through an unfamiliar process and we now have a wonderful testament to the work of our team.”
