Celebrity

I am renowned for taking the pictures of many famous and celebrated faces.

Often commissioned by national newspapers to provide striking portrait or fashion photography for Sunday supplement magazines, I am also a regular photographer for leading broadcasting companies to help them craft promotional features.

From my base in Huddersfield, I am perfectly located for shoots 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 show 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.

“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.”

Andrew Cowan, Group Art Director – John Brown Media

“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.”
