Why PR agencies love working with me…

A PR Photographer Who Really Gets It

If you work in PR, you already know this: when deadlines are tight, clients are demanding, and reputations are on the line, you need suppliers you can trust implicitly.

That’s where I come in.

Based in Newbury, Berkshire, I’m a documentary photographer who specialises in telling interesting stories, be it through headshots, or more evolved shoots. I don’t just work with PR agencies, I genuinely understand them. That’s because before I ever picked up a camera professionally, I worked in PR myself.

From PR to Photography — The Best of Both Worlds

Before becoming a photographer, I spent over ten years working in PR, collaborating with major brands and large-scale campaigns — from Procter & Gamble to the London 2012 Olympics.

I’ve been on the other side of the briefing call.
I’ve managed client expectations.
I’ve chased approvals, worked to immovable deadlines and handled last-minute curveballs.

That experience means I don’t just deliver great images — I deliver the right images, on time, with zero fuss.

Great PR photography isn’t just about taking a nice picture. It’s about understanding:

  • The story you’re trying to tell

  • The publication it’s going to

  • The brand tone and messaging

  • How images will be cropped, shared and reused

Because of my PR background, I shoot with media placement in mind. I know what editors look for, how images need to work across press releases, online articles and social media, and why flexibility is crucial.

Whether it’s a product launch, corporate announcement, brand campaign or behind-the-scenes shoot, I approach every job with a PR mindset — proactive, organised and solutions-focused.

Headshot Photography That Feels Human (Not Corporate)

When it comes to headshot photography, PR agencies often need images that feel polished but approachable — professional without being stiff.

I specialise in creating headshots that:

  • Reflect personality as well as professionalism

  • Work across press, LinkedIn and brand websites

  • Feel consistent with your client’s wider visual identity

Because I understand how headshots are used in PR campaigns, I shoot with flexibility in mind — offering variations in framing, expression and orientation so you have options when deadlines loom.

Documentary Photography That Tells a Real Story

My documentary photography style is ideal for PR agencies looking to capture authentic moments rather than staged scenes.

From events and brand activations to workplace culture and behind-the-scenes storytelling, I work discreetly and intuitively, capturing images that feel natural, dynamic and genuinely engaging.

This approach is especially valuable for:

  • Editorial features

  • Brand storytelling

  • Employer branding

  • Long-term PR campaigns

The result? A strong bank of images you can reuse across multiple channels.

A Reliable Supplier You Can Call On Again and Again

One of the biggest lessons I took from my PR career is how important it is to have a reliable, trusted network of suppliers.

I aim to be that photographer for PR agencies.

Clients work with me because I’m:

  • Dependable and well-organised

  • Calm under pressure

  • Clear and responsive in communication

  • Happy to travel wherever the job takes me

Although I’m based in Newbury, Berkshire, I regularly work across the UK, supporting brands wherever they need me.

My background in PR, combined with my experience in PR photography, headshot photography and documentary photography, means I slot seamlessly into your workflow — whether I’m representing your agency on a client shoot or quietly capturing content in the background.
