English Photoworks

About

I'm a portrait photographer and run my business, English Photoworks, from our studio just outside Bath. We work with both consumers and professionals. Our consumer work is mostly fine art portraiture of women and children, producing large format, printed work for these clients. Working with professionals, we produce studio-based editorial, personal branding and publicity portraiture, especially for classical singers, actors and models, but also for anyone who needs beautiful imagery to help them connect effectively with their audience.

Studio

Our studio is small, beautiful and very well equipped. We have 4 Elinchrom BRX-250 lights, a great range of lighting modifiers from huge Elinchrom octaboxes to beauty dishes, spots, gels and so on. We have 10 gorgeous backdrops from Gravity Backdrops (think Annie Leibovitz-style) as well as a seamless backdrop system and wind machine. The studio has a really cool array of antique chairs and furniture, so your images look pretty unique. The work has a definitive look, and we can of course shoot in more conventional commercial styles when it's needed. Refreshments are on tap, alongside free wifi and parking.

Workshops & Training

*New workshops for early 2019 are up!*

If you're looking for photography courses and one-day workshops, we love to teach people! Working regularly with photographers of all levels of experience, we offer classes, model days and one-to-one sessions. Our upcoming events can be found here. Please get in touch for bespoke training in shooting, lighting and editing.

Lightroom Presets and Photoshop Actions

We've created a range of really beautiful Lightroom presets - one-click sets which give amazing and very useable results. Our Photoshop actions are great for retouching, colour grading and speeding up your workflow. Check them out here.
