Why I Love Editorial Fashion Photography

Defining that grey area between art, commerce & story-telling and why it’s so special to me.

Why I love editorial fashion photography.

When I’m in London, I love Friday’s. Sounds obvious. I mean, who doesn’t love Friday’s? But for me, the end of the working weeks’ excitement didn’t centre around Friday night drinks in the pub (well, it sometimes did…). No, my thoughts are firmly pointed at the Friday night tube commute. Now, you may say, ‘this girl is crazy, the tube is a hellish nightmare at the end of the week!’.

Why I believe a Commercial Photographer is so Important in 2020 & Beyond

Commercial Photographers Like Me are a Must if Brands Want to Succeed

If you’ve browsed the Internet, used social media or read a magazine today – you have consumed the work of a commercial photographer.

To help best illustrate what exactly a commercial photographer is I’ll use my favourite subject, fashion! Let’s imagine you’ve just opened your own boutique, selling clothes you have designed and made. You want to market your designs online and showcase your beautiful new store! But, you decide to take all the photography with your iPhone, yourself… Now, unless you’re some kind of mobile photography whizz-kid, the shots you take are really not going to show off your work and could seriously impact the attractiveness of your business.

How I Started My Career in Freelance Photography

Want to turn your passion into something more & start a Freelance Photography Career? Now’s the time to do it and I’m going to show you how.

A freelance photography career is very similar to the opportunity of running your own business, its one of those dreams a lot of us have! Nobody looking over your shoulder, no boss micro-managing your every move, the ability to take a siesta in the afternoon… the last one might just be a personal plus point for me, but you get the point! A freelance career in what ever field promises freedom, but that newfound freedom can also bring greater responsibility, because if you’re not working, there’s nobody else to pick up the slack. But if you’re dedicated, passionate & you’re sure that a freelance photography career is right for you, it can be the most rewarding thing in the world.

When not on location, what does a fashion photographer actually get up to?

Good photography, paired with a meaningful message can bring real impact to people’s lives. Through my photography work I know that I won’t just be shooting imagery for my client to advertise to potential customers, I will be creating a unique vision and story as well.
