Celebrity Photographer

I am an experienced celebrity photographer, renowned for taking pictures of many famous and celebrated faces. Often commissioned by national newspapers, I have had the privilege of working with magazines and Sunday supplements to capture stunning portraits, fashion and editorial celebrity photos. I am also a regular photographer for leading broadcasting companies to help them craft promotional features.

My passion lies in creating vibrant, imaginative images that showcase my subjects in the best possible light. Through careful composition and lighting techniques, I strive to bring out the unique personalities of each celebrity I photograph.

From my base in Huddersfield, I am perfectly located for photoshoots with actors in soap operas set in the north. As well as Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks, the burgeoning TV industry in that part of the country has seen opportunities grow. A long list of previous assignments shows my strong ties to Leeds, Manchester and London.

I also have experience working on location in Sheffield, York, Liverpool, Hull, Birmingham, Preston and Warrington, where I am at ease collaborating with teams of talented makeup artists and stylists.

With many years in the industry, I am a highly accomplished celebrity photographer. My knowledge and level of expertise set me apart from other professionals in the field. Whether shooting pictures for magazines or Sunday newspapers, my goal is to always create interesting images that capture attention. Get in touch to discuss your needs.​ I look forward to working with you on your next project!

“Photographing a celebrity for a magazine feature always makes a refreshing change because I’m able to push both the pose and styling so much more. I can also use the chosen location in a different way and as a result the photography becomes more fashion-orientated.”

“First of all, I’ve got to say the quality of Claire’s work is brilliant. We commission her for every edition of Business Agenda, sometimes 2 or 3 shoots an issue, and she is our first port of call for business portraits. She follows a brief to the tee, and always gets the best out of her subjects whether she has them for an hour or just 10 mins. Her use of light and colour and her choice of composition are consistently excellent.”
