### About the Photographer
This professional photographer has more than 20 years of experience working across editorial, events, PR, corporate and commercial photography. Based in the North East, their work covers Sunderland, Newcastle, Gateshead and Durham, as well as assignments further afield.
They began their photography career in 2000 and have operated as a freelance photographer since 2015, working with organisations, agencies and creative professionals on a wide range of projects.
### Editorial & Visual Storytelling
With an editorial photography background, their work places a strong emphasis on authentic visual storytelling. The photographer aims to produce imagery that feels natural and genuine while clearly communicating the subject, environment or message behind each commission.
This editorial experience informs their approach across different types of photography, from corporate assignments and events to commercial and creative projects.
### Corporate & Commercial Photography
Corporate work includes executive headshots, professional portraits, personal branding imagery and PR photography. They also have considerable experience documenting redevelopment projects and commercial interiors.
When photographing spaces, particular attention is given to how people experience and interact with an environment. This approach is intended to capture more than the appearance of a space, instead showing its purpose, atmosphere and relationship with its visitors.
### Events, Theatre & Production
The photographer regularly works alongside designers, artists, videographers and other photographers as part of wider creative teams. Their experience also extends to live theatre, stage productions and music events.
They have additionally worked within television and film production environments, where understanding the timing, atmosphere and requirements of a location is particularly important.
### Working Across the North East & Beyond
The photographer works with clients throughout the North East and North Yorkshire, while also taking on assignments further afield.
Across different projects, the focus is on helping clients develop a consistent collection of imagery that can support their wider visual identity. Photographs can be used across editorial, marketing, digital and other communications, providing businesses and organisations with imagery that remains useful beyond a single campaign or project.
