Unit Stills Photographer for Film and TV Productions

Cool, calm, and covert on set, quietly capturing the compelling shots you swear no one had time to take.

Clean, production-ready stills with a calm, unobtrusive approach

Unit stills photography relies on timing, awareness, and the ability to work unobtrusively in a production. With a long professional photography career, I bring an eye trained in fast-paced documentary environments, where timing and impact matter, as do fast decision-making and a calm, discreet working style. Based in Cornwall and working across the UK and internationally, I photograph narrative moments, key-art and behind-the-scenes activity for film, TV and commercial projects.

Unit Stills

Capturing stills on set requires a professional who can manoeuvre around kit and crew without causing chaos. You can count on me to deliver eye-catching, powerfully impactful images that support the story and meet the needs of your production, including:

narrative stills
key moments
atmospheric coverage
continuity-friendly frames
clean images suitable for marketing, press, and editorial use

My aim is to work quietly, anticipate moments, and capture the expressions that hold a scene together. It’s invisible expertise—the kind that elevates the work without ever needing to be explained.

Behind the Scenes (BTS)

BTS photography documents the craft behind the camera—the teamwork, technical setups, and creative decisions that shape a production. These images support:

EPK and press
social content, marketing, and promotional materials
production archives

I move quietly, observe carefully, and capture the natural rhythm of your set without intruding on it.

Approach

Productions value stills photographers who are calm, discreet, and reliable. My approach is built on:

a long professional photography career
an understanding of set etiquette
the ability to work silently and unobtrusively
fast, accurate exposure and composition decisions
respect for the needs of directorial, camera, lighting and sound departments

Whether photographing a quiet dialogue scene or a complex setup, I focus on being present, prepared, and invisible.

Technical Capability

High-resolution Nikon Z9 mirrorless cameras suitable for silent shooting
Fast lenses for low-light environments
Experience working alongside camera, lighting, and safety teams
Comfortable on drama, action, factual, and commercial sets

Cornwall‑Based

Cornwall is a growing hub for film and TV production, yet dedicated unit stills photographers in the region are limited. Being based locally means productions can access professional stills support without the cost and logistics of bringing someone in from further afield. I also work across Devon, Bristol, the South West, and the rest of the UK.
