about me & my work
I am a professional photographer based in Canterbury, Kent, UK. I aim to capture the natural expressions and personalities of people in a warm and sympathetic light that makes them feel good about themselves and gives them confidence:
"I needed a portrait photo of myself that I could use for my business (LinkedIn profile etc.). Up until now I've been using a photo that I took at home which I thought was ok until I saw what Hedley could do! Hedley took a fantastic photo of me in his studio and I'm very happy to now have a professional photo of myself when presenting my business online.
Hedley made me feel very welcome and he certainly knows his trade. I don't find it easy to 'look natural' under studio conditions, but Hedley managed to get a genuine smile out of me! When potential clients are looking at your business, professional photographs make a world of difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Hedley, and will be using his services again." John H
I photograph buildings and interiors that show properties to best effect, whether for letting, sale or promotional purposes. I take photographs of interesting places and events that are available for sale, digitally or printed. All your photos will be available to view and order through my secure password-protected webpages, enabling you to select your favourite pictures from the comfort of your own home.
I have been taking photographs since the age of nine. When 12 years old I narrowly avoided setting fire to the house when I made an impromptu flash gun using a cake baking tin into which I placed a strip of magnesium ribbon that, in those days, a child could buy from the local chemist for a few pence! A wooden spoon made the handle. The result produced a brilliant white light that lasted rather longer than anticipated...!
In July 2019, having pursued an 18 months process, I was awarded the Licentiate distinction of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain - LRPS
