Hello, I’m Alex and I’m a photographer providing a range of creative services to businesses and individuals.

I provide commissioned photography to any business or organisation, videography, B2B training, photographic holidays, 1 day workshops for photo enthusiasts and hand made book making.

My primary service is bespoke photography for organisations of all sizes for illustrating their website, social media and marketing work.

My photography is commissioned mostly by businesses and also within the tourism sector where I’ve specialised as a landscape artist and commercial photographer for over 20 years.

Through my B2B training, I help small businesses understand how to use their kit to create compelling photography for themselves in association with various tourism bodies and local business groups.

My passion for landscape enables me to lead a series of residential photographic holidays to some wonderful destinations here and abroad where guests can learn and enjoy landscape photography with the support of myself and my colleague through our Tripod Travels photo workshops.

During lockdown I pioneered the first online hand made photo book making workshop and I’ve taught over 300 people to become book makers! My workshops involve the basics of book making, printing and Japanese stab binding.

I also provide a small scale video service for businesses that require short, professional, fully edited and affordable video with music, interviews, cutaways and sound in a dynamic production for their website and marketing work.

Finally, I serve on the board of a local charity, Whitstable Maritime and we hope to restore the last Oyster Yawl built in Whitstable to a working ship and we also promote the use of our nationally recognised Whitstable Walking Trail. These provide many opportunities for anyone creative seeking to make work inspired by the area, the boat, the trail and the history, heritage and contemporary sea/landscapes they embrace. Please speak to me if you wish to be involved!

A photographer, writer, explorer and philosopher, Andreea was born in 70s Romania and made England her home in the early noughties. Andreea has a Masters in Photography from Falmouth University and a BSc in Philosophy from the University of Bucharest. Her creative practice explores questions of personal identity and memory especially through the lens of her dual cultural heritage. Andreea is also a photography tutor and runs a photography tour business with her photographer partner Matt.

Andreea’s most recent project The Fabric of Memory was produced during the final year of her MA studies and is being exhibited at the Horsebridge Art Centre in Whitstable in February 2023.

For this project Andreea traveled back to her native homeland in an attempt to rediscover and reconnect with her roots. Marcel Proust said ‘the past is hidden somewhere outside the realm, beyond the reach of intellect, in some material object’. Andreea’s visual story explores this notion, driven by place, and is a constant dialogue between past and present, familiarity and estrangement.  New images, all produced using old family film cameras and expired period film, are interspaced, and sometimes juxtaposed with family archive images and snippets of discursive memory in a visually coherent way. Andreea creates an atemporal space where there is deliberate ambiguity about what’s past and what’s present, and where empathetic connections are made with older family members as individuals, rather than in their familial roles.

I studied at art college, learning of how light fell on objects. On leaving, I assisted in fashion but, still life images in my portfolio gave me my first commissions. Two years later I had the portfolio and confidence to face the world of London advertising. Got my first studio shooting campaigns and having entries in D&AD. Soon, calls from the automotive world came. It was what I needed. Shooting autos challenged me more, in studio and location. A world I loved, large objects shot around the world in all the places I dreamed of. Europe, USA and S/Africa. The challenge of large shoots over many weeks with large crews gave me the rewards I wanted – building large sets in strange places, battling the weather, languages, waiting for the right light and making friends around the world. I would also take my own pictures, taking extra days to see more of where I was invading. The volume of these personal pictures grew and I felt I needed to show them. I did this in many ‘One Man Shows’ and joint exhibitions. The response was surprising, selling my personal work felt the same as passing a poster I had shot, or opening a magazine to see my pictures. After many years, my portfolio has become so varied and to make sense of such a volume is difficult. I continue to work in advertising. My love of photography never wanes, I get the same thrill from every picture I take. My clients are vast and varied.

Nick Cobb is an artist working with experimental photography techniques and constructing large scale installations.

Nicholas Cobb is a Kent-based artist working with photography, digital art and constructions. He has also curated exhibitions and was part of a team that organised the Nunhead Art Trail.

For 20 years he taught photography, Photoshop and various fine art courses at Putney School of Art.

With photography he takes an experimental approach, mostly using a distorting mirror to find a more subjective and uncontrolled result in the mirror’s reflection.

Much of his imagery concerns the environment. In 2019 he spent time at the rewilding project at Knepp farm photographing the flora and recording the sounds in the woods and fields. These were then collaged together in the ‘Field Works’ series.

In the face of environmental destruction of habitat he looks for the positive narratives.

Most recently he has taken his unusual approach to photography to a field and parts of Blean Woods on the Canterbury Road, between Herne and Sturry.

Over the course of 2023 he has joined group exhibitions in Beach Creative’s Gallery and his own garage/studio gallery- part of East Kent Artist Open House- in Herne Bay.

In his studio he pieces together elaborate constructions in card that reflect on our experience of climate change. Some of these have been exhibited as part of community actions in the face of controversial development.

Another side to photography is his interest in the landscapes of some of Modernism’s great artist’s.

He has photographed at Giverny – Monet’s garden, the area around Aix-en-Provance where Cezanne painted, the town of Ceret where Soutine worked and currently , the art of Alan Reynolds in Kent.

Hi I’m JulieAnn. I’m a photographer artist. I am based in Medway.

I realised I wanted to make photography my life during lockdown, when I took my camera out on walks and captured the strange, deserted, once-busy world in the town where I live.

A month prior to the pandemic, I began a 300 word poem project and my poetry encapsulates those surreal times. Then menopause hit hard and one of my symptoms was severe cognitive dysfunction which affected my expressive language – the ability to use words to express myself.  My photography was a life saver.

My photography, which began as a mindful exercise in mainly landscapes and botanical art transformed into a means to chart my feelings and emotions. It was cathartic and healing.

My main genre now is self-portraiture. I have laughed and cried, danced and screamed at my camera in my search for identity and self. I am finally in a place of self-acceptance and in terms of my body, I am comfortable in my own skin. I am, at last, able to celebrate and explore the feminine form.

I have recently decided to photograph other women to allow them to experience the freedom I  gained from the self-acceptance, self-confidence and self-worth that came with letting go and being vulnerable and ‘real’ in front of my lens.

Designs inspired by nature and made with love for your home.

Commissions undertaken

Amateur photographer; very longtime member of Sevenoaks Camera Club. Also member of the Stereoscopic Society. Plus Sevenoaks Visual Arts Forum

During my experience as a photography student I was a member of Co-Optic and The Real Britain Postcard project and was included in the group exhibition Young Photographers ’72 at The Serpentine Gallery, Kensington Gardens.  As a working commercial photographer, my personal work was selected for the Association of Photographers’ Awards shows and the Benson & Hedges Awards.

I have been an early adopter of new technology and in some of these photographs have used a process that requires the capture of the entire 360 degree field of view via a number of images stitched together, which is then unwrapped as a flat image.  The viewer is presented with a global view of the environment from a single viewpoint.  In order to make the panoramic images it is necessary to be immersed in and aware of the totality of the environment, I usually do not look through the camera while making the exposures.  The ease of use of an iPhone camera allows for the creation of images which are a reaction to being engaged with evanescent moments in the environment at the time of capture.
