“My legacy is my photographs, definitely.”
Music and football are two of Manchester’s greatest exports and Sharon Latham is the woman who has captured some of their defining moments through her lens.
Lisa Morton finds out how Sharon became the first female club photographer in the Premier League for Manchester City, what it was like to tour across America with Noel Gallagher, and how Bradley Cooper recognised her on the red carpet at the Oscars.
Turning her bathrooms into darkrooms and developing photos under her stairs, Sharon decided to turn her lifelong passion into a viable career. She claims she was just in the right place at the right time with the right lens, but you will hear how her determination and graft saw her become Manchester City’s Official Club Photographer. While there, she documented Man City’s meteoric rise, including the team lifting the FA Cup in 2011 for the first time in 35 years. But… Hear why Sharon made that photo quite a memorable one for the team.
Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre. From that point, the business, and its team members, have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester – across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture.
To celebrate the 24 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Greater Mancunian ‘family’ and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best place in the world.
