Ken Topham Photojournalist – About me

Based in north Manchester, I’m not a native Saddleworth-ian but the place does have its charms, like being at the base of the Pennines, and a yearly brass band competition where road closures are standard

I enjoy  walking and running in the hills, as well as riding motorbikes, both on and off-road. It also has the benefit of being pretty central for travel, so getting around the country is fairly easy.

My journalism started as an additional part of my business, but has become the core, I started writing fleet profiles for Classic tractor when I lived in Ireland.

This grew into a wider range of work for some other publications. since then, I’ve had images on the covers of Farmers Weekly, Farm Machinery Journal, Heritage Tractor, Classic Tractor and been published in the Irish Farmers Journal and Profi.

My work has grown to produce video testimonials for manufacturers, as well as producing interviews for farming competitions and training. I’ve also dabbled in YouTube @Operatorstation, have instagram and Facebook under the same name.
