The People of Bradford

A new digital series for Bradford 2025 from photographer Tim Smith.

Meet the People of Bradford

With renowned documentary photographer Tim Smith, we’re introducing the world to The People of Bradford.

The People of Bradford is our new digital series, created in collaboration with renowned documentary photographer Tim Smith. Tim’s photographs and creative work capture the social and cultural experiences of his subjects – and in this unique series, we’ll bring together the lives and stories of real Bradford people with his captivating images.

These images and stories celebrate the richness and variety of Bradford’s people and places. I hope sharing them here gives people everywhere a sense of the history and shape of our diverse society and our landscapes, and what they will offer as part of our UK City of Culture.
