Staff Photography - Corporate Communications London Westonbirt Autumn Shoot Live8 Coverage Space Glass Architectural Photography Henry Africas Resturant shoot Family Portrait Session

I am a photographer ideally located close to Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Stroud, Cheltenham, South Wales and the Cotswolds. I do portraiture, PR, editorial & commercial work, live event coverage, architectural and stock photography for a range of clients including PR agencies, commercial organisations, individuals and charities.

How can I help you? - maybe some distinctive feature pics for your magazine, maybe you have an event which needs covering, some quality portraits of your staff, natural portraits of your children, product or food photography, maybe you need some sparkling pics for a new company brochure or website?

A very popular tool which I use is a high definition laptop which I can shoot straight into, so clients can see images immediately & be reassured that the shoot is going as planned.

Please click on a section above, or view more indepth examples in the Case Studies section.

Alternatively, click on client feedback to see how others trust me to get the results they need. This means providing the right level of creative input and collaborating with the client to more than meet the brief.

Whatever the scale of your needs, please do e-mail or ring me to discuss. If you'd like to see my brochure then please do email.

Thanks,

Paul
