Editorial Photography & PR
Real people and real moments, for your website and the press
I shoot in a documentary, editorial style, photographing people as they are in the moment rather than posed for the camera. The approach suits a website refresh, a corporate story or a press release, and the results read as real life rather than a photoshoot.
I’m based on the Suffolk and Essex border and work with businesses, charities, trade bodies and schools across London, East Anglia and the rest of the UK.
Why editorial photography works for business
Stock photography and stiff, posed shots are easy to spot, and easy to forget. Editorial-style images do more:
- Show your team, workspace and culture as they are
- Give your website and marketing a human, believable feel
- Help clients and prospective staff get to know your organisation before they’ve met anyone
- Give journalists and editors pictures they’ll want to run
What’s included
Website and brand storytelling: Images planned around your website and marketing, shot in an editorial rather than studio style, so they still feel real once they’re on the page.
Team and workplace: Your team working, collaborating or being themselves in your space, rather than lined up for a group photo.
Corporate storytelling: Documentary-style coverage of your organisation in action, from conversations and processes to the day-to-day moments a posed shoot would miss.
PR and press photography: Press portraits, announcements, launches, visits and photocalls, shot with the story in mind and delivered ready to go out with your release.
Hero and header images: Purpose-shot with your website layout in mind, including space for text where needed.
PR and press photography
I’ve photographed Police and Crime Commissioners, government ministers including Chris Philp (Shadow Home Secretary) and former MP Mike Freer, so I know how press work runs, with limited time on the day, a fixed schedule and a comms team who need pictures before the story goes out.
- Press portraits and announcement photography
- Launches, openings, visits and photocalls
- Selected images turned round to your deadline, with same-day delivery available
- Files captioned with names and roles, sized for print, web and newswires
- Usage agreed up front, covering press and media distribution
I work with in-house comms teams and PR agencies, and I’ll agree the shot list and deadline with whoever is running the story.
How it works
Planning and direction: I’ll talk through your brand, your audience and how the images will be used, then suggest locations and a loose shot list without over-engineering the day. For press work, I’ll also confirm the deadline and who needs the files.
The shoot: Relaxed and largely unposed. I direct lightly, so the results feel like your organisation rather than a photoshoot.
Editing and delivery: High-resolution and web-ready images, delivered through an online gallery. Press selects come first, ahead of the full set.
