Photographer in Chiswick

Chiswick possesses a quiet confidence that many of London's more prominent districts cannot match. Its Palladian villa and the Grade I listed landscape that surrounds it, its Georgian riverside cottages at Strand-on-the-Green, its orchards at Duke's Meadows and its tree-lined high road — taken together, Chiswick offers a breadth and depth of photographic possibility that photographers seek for years before discovering.

I have been photographing families, couples and individuals in Chiswick for many years, working across every season and in every kind of light. The spring blossom along the Thames towpath between Chiswick Bridge and Kew is possibly the finest floral photography backdrop in West London. The autumn colour in Chiswick House Gardens — the orange of the chestnuts, the gold of the willow leaves — is something photographers travel from across the country to capture.

My approach is entirely documentary. I do not direct people to stand in front of landmarks and perform for the camera. I ask you to walk with me, to sit on the grass, to let your children run. And within that ordinary freedom, I find the extraordinary moments — the glance, the laugh, the hand-hold that you will want to see in a frame on your wall for the rest of your life.

If you live in Chiswick or are looking for a photographer for a Chiswick-based session, I would love to talk. I also serve the entire West London corridor — Kew, Richmond, Barnes, Hammersmith, Putney and Sheen.
