The Duchess of Cambridge speaks to Jason Baird, whose photograph is included in the Hold Still exhibition
The Duchess of Cambridge has praised an “amazingly captured” image of a martial arts teacher dressed as Spider-Man during lockdown.
Jason Baird, who runs Jason Baird’s Black Belt Academy in Stockport, and his friend Andrew Baldock, became known as the “Stockport Spider-Men”, as they entertained children and family alike by dressing up as the character on their walks.
The image shows Mr Baird in mid-air in a front garden as children look on from inside the house, and is among 100 photographs chosen for Kate’s Hold Still exhibition and book, which encouraged the public to document life during the pandemic.
