Schools Photography in Kent and Sussex
I work with both state and private schools creating images for your websites, brochures as well as covering your events.
Schools Photography in Kent and Sussex
I photograph Kent and Sussex shcools. I have worked with State Primary schools through to Private Secondary schools. I create high-quality images of your schools at work and play. Images of learning, engaged children, happy children making use of your resources. Images that will reinforce your school ethos and sell your school to prospective parents.
I work with Senior leadership teams to create a plan for how best to capture all that your school can offer. I do not do class portraits but I work to build a wider picture of your school. A blend of candid and posed shots to cover all bases.
I have an active basic DBS and enhanced DBS with several schools. I understand the challenges you face with safeguarding and ensure your images are securely held and transferred and that the safeguarding of your students is always paramount.
I predominantly shoot stills but where required short videos and drone footage can be incorporated.

School's Photography - The Process
I am mindful that it can be tricky to align all that a school can offer on any given day. Where possible shoots can be broken down into small chunks over a couple of days. In the cases of larger schools, this can be planned over a school week. I create a lot of candid images, working quietly and from the sidelines. We’ll also need to stage a variety of shots to ensure we have the right people in the right places.
All images are stored securely and edited images are provided to schools to make the necessary omissions and/or adjustments for safeguarding.
Equipment
I use professional Canon cameras and lenses well-suited for producing high-quality results. In most cases, I shoot candidly, using natural light to maintain a lower profile. I am also a licensed drone operator, allowing me to get aerial footage of school layouts and facilities.
