Q&A’s

  • Yes I have public liability and professional indemnity insurance which I renew annually. If you need a copy of my policy, please ask.

  • The fee charged covers most digital and print use globally. If you require more extensive rights - such as exclusivity - I would be happy to discuss options.

  • My signature style is to produce natural looking imagery with slightly brightened colours, increased contrast and a sense of ‘a moment’.

    After I have imported and catalogued your images, I make initial adjustments and colour corrections to bring out the natural quality of each photograph. Then I retouch and remove distractions, soften skin a little on portraits, clean up products, and crop the images for maximum dramatic effect.

    To me - this is the finishing of my artwork and an important part of the creative process. I don’t release RAW (unedited) images to my clients.

  • Yes I have a studio in Harpenden, Hertfordshire where I do individual headshots and product lifestyle photography.

    Depending on your brand and what we’re shooting, everything else tends to be shot on location.

  • No, I provide my photographs to clients in high resolution digital format with an unlimited license to print or frame for personal or marketing purposes - not for resale or competition entry.

Penny is rare: incredibly perceptive with a gentle touch, while able to take control to deliver beautiful images”
