Hair & Beauty Photography
In a different lifetime, back in the late eighties, I was once a hairstylist for a short while, before pursuing a career in the fashion watch industry and then onto commercial photography.
This strong, almost spiritual connection I have with the hair industry very much remains to this day.
Maybe it's because many of the people I work with, within the hair industry, share the same creative traits as myself.
It's this shared desire to create things of beauty, that not only binds our creative passion but has cemented our friendships along the way.
Most clients know me Lee but many in the industry will also know me as JARRED, a middle name I was slightly embarrassed of in my youth but one which I am now am incredibly proud of and one which is firmly cemented with my Hair & Beauty photography.
TEAM WORK
Collaboration is key...
The Creative Process
As a commercial photographer, my main focus is to always produce strong, distinct, stand out imagery, whether this is capturing high quality commercial stills for clients or producing my own personal work.
Working closely with a wide variety of clients both here in the UK and overseas, photography is all about collaboration and working together with other talented creatives on great concepts.
It’s all about showing clients that you have a good creative mind, adapt problem solving, as well as the technical tools to do the job.
It’s this passion to create thought provoking, visually beautiful imagery that drives me.
Collaboration is key.
As much as I enjoy being one of the central roles in the creative process, I am under no illusion that all of this wouldn’t be possible without a very focussed creative team around me, which has come together to help bring the clients ideas to life.
Most of my work predominantly centres around photographing people. This is by far one of the highlights of being a photographer, along with working with fellow passionate, creative individuals, that make up the team.
Whether I'm taking someone's portrait or shooting a commercial campaign, my aim is to try and always capture that insight into a persons personality, a certain look, an action, or a candid unscripted moment, that will hopefully transcend from photograph or magazine page to the viewer.
LET'S
COLLABORATE
Let's Collaborate
Having been a passionate photographer for as long as I can remember, these past ten years spent as a commercial photographer, came after a 25yr career in the fashion watch industry.
A career which not only gave me a good grounding in the commercial world but which also bought me much experience in working with clients and meeting their needs, along with many other elements associated with commercial photography.
Working with industry kit and software such as Adobe Photoshop since the mid nineties, I have now embraced the use of Ai generative software as yet another creative tool to assist in producing stand out imagery.
These are incredibly exciting times to be a photographer and image creator, hopefully you’ll have seen something in my work featured here that resonates with you.
There is nothing I welcome more than collaborating with new clients and fellow creatives to bring incredible concepts to life, so please feel free to reach out and get in touch.
Let’s produce some beautiful imagery...
