James Gifford-Mead Photography
Photographer in London
James has been a London Corporate Photographer for the last four years and he specialises in providing strong imagery for his clients marketing needs or new portraits for their online profile presence. Through his previous experience he can either offer simple and clean headshots or a more natural and relaxed portrait in the office environment. When he is not shooting corporate portraits he is photographing events and conferences for different types of businesses that need strong pictures to aid their marketing campaigns or social media presence.Working as a corporate photographer in London, James does the majority of his shoots on location so he would travel to wherever your office is situated or where your event location is. He works to a hourly, half day or full day rates, but the longer the photography session, the more cost effective it becomes. James has a portable studio that he can set up within your meeting room or in a general space on your office floor. There is no extra charge for any travel expenses for London photography shoots.

read moreJames perfectly captured my wedding in July 2017. He is amazing at getting natural candid shots and just understanding the environment and getting the most out us. He was engaging leading up to the wedding and we felt absolutely confident he would take amazing shots of our wedding. He even scoped out various locations for shots prior to the wedding - really went above and beyond. I would highly recommend James for your wedding or any event. His professional and friendly manner made him a welcome addition to our wedding day.

read moreOur organization used James Gifford-Mead for a group photo of nearly 150 delegates (outside in London in the hotel courtyard) in October. He managed to get a great group shot for us in less than 15 minutes. With over 100 people in the shot, he managed it very well. We also used him for candid meeting photos and a large evening social event as well. We appreciated his professionalism, attention to detail and his responsiveness to our requests.

read moreJames is a superb photographer and he was the perfect choice for our event. James managed our crowds very well when needed but also melted into our event and captured the most amazing moments that will stay with us for a lifetime.

read moreJames is an outstandingly approachable and hard-working photographer with a terrific eye. He's produced hundreds of great images for the Henley Literary Festival over the past few years in fact, they keep getting better. Despite the fact we have him trudging across Henley for long days on end (45 miles' worth of walking in just one week this year) he is consistently pleasant, professional and at ease with all manner of people, from the young to the old to the downright famous. We highly recommended James and hope to work alongside him for the foreseeable future.

He is an incredibly talented photographer and a lovely person too. James is able to gain respect and trust from the people he is working naturally and quickly.

Yas Daudjee
read moreI have been an admirer of James Gifford-Mead's photography for a number of years. He has a truly remarkable eye, as his body of work is testament to. I have had the privilege of seeing him photograph on a number of occasions, and his method can be described as patient, studied and unobtrusive, in addition to his professional and dedicated approach. He has a particular talent for portraiture, both in capturing the essence of his subjects, but also in his timing of those fleeting moments of heightened emotion that elevate his work above the mainstream.
Rosie Nutt
read moreEnergetic, enthusiastic and extremely professional photographer. James covered an event for us and not only were the photos great but his presence was so subtle, he captured the essence and success of the party in every shot. We will definitely use him again.
Lydia Johnson
read moreJames was just fantastic. From the very outset he was very responsive and flexible, adapting to our complicated shot-list and last minute changes. On the night he was punctual, very friendly and professional and was able to manage the >500 people we had at the event in order to capture the diversity of shots we needed.
We were delighted with the final photographs, which came to us the day after the event. We can't wait to continue working with him at our future events!

read moreSuch a pleasure working with James. He was extremely professional, delivered on time and was very responsive through the process. I was initially a bit conscious about the shoot but James was friendly and put me at ease right at the beginning and was very chatty through the process, making it a very easy experience. The pictures are very high quality and I would highly recommend James.

Thank You!
We recently contracted James to photograph a Jewellery Career Fair that we held here in London. James did a superb job in capturing special moments between guest speakers and professionals from the jewellery industry. He really listened to the brief and provided great service both before and after the event. His photos were stunning and we will definitely be using him again for future events. A big thanks from all of us at GIA, James! Value for Money

read moreEvents are a big part of many businesses these days, and whether you're organising a small private view reception or an all day conference, I have years of experience which will ensure that I capture the flavour of your event. My packages include documentary photography of the day and also the option to receive a selection of images the same day for those all important social media channels. Every person I meet seems to find the idea of having their portrait taken (mildly) terrifying! With that in mind, my priority is to make you feel relaxed and confident so that you can come away with a headshot that reflects the best side of you, your job and your business.
About Us
read moreBut with there being so many photographers online nowadays I realise that I should make more of an effort! I could easily talk for hours about the cameras I use but I would send you into to a deep sleep before you got to the end of the first sentence. So I will keep it simple and just start at the beginning. After spending a few years travelling (Africa, India and South America) I started working in the photographic industry 10 years ago. By assisting other working photographers during this period I learnt a lot about lighting and getting my shots right within the camera - photoshop was a no-no!
London Event Photographer
read moreWith the incredible advancement of digital cameras, anyone can take a half-decent photograph (and I hate to admit that!) and market themselves as a photographer for events. But what I offer is the invaluable experience of being an established freelancer; commissioned as a professional, corporate London event photographer countless times. This extensive freelance experience; built over a highly varied career across the UK and London as PR and events photographer for businesses and brands, means I continuously deliver high-quality images time after time - natural pictures of corporate events used for several different reasons, including everything from social media photography to brand development.
London Corporate Photographer
read moreAs a particularly busy London corporate photographer, creating professional imagery to push brands and businesses to the front of the pack, is second nature to me. I can provide pictures that will not only be powerful but make a strong and lasting impression across social media and marketing campaigns. Over the years I've worked with a variety companies across London who needed a corporate photographer to create images for their company brochures and marketing material. During the communication stage we'll make a plan on what type of imagery your brand or company needs.
