First Avenue Photography

When I first walked into a newsroom at The Portsmouth News (in the very early 90’s, shhh!) and deeper into the depths of the photography darkroom, I found myself surrounded by a new breed of people I’d not met before – press photographers. It felt like I’d arrived home.

Since then I’ve freelanced, put myself through the NCTJ Press Photography course, getting my first ever Distinction, worked with four top regional newspapers, freelanced again and had my photos published all over the world.

I love working with my clients to achieve aesthetically pleasing photographs that suit their purpose, whether it’s for their website, their profile or for a publication.

Showing the people behind your company or your brand in a confident, positive way makes you shine through. Let your customers know they’re in good hands.

Everyone has a photo in them. What's yours?

I’m now proud to call Airbus, Bristol Zoo, Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal & Triodos Bank, amongst my clients. Feel free to look at my portfolio and see for yourself.

(Come on, I know how much you love having your photo taken!)

We’ll work together to capture the right tone, fulfilling your brief and giving you creative photographs that tell your story.

My camera’s ready when you are!

Fantastic service

She was in touch with us always before the wedding and showed up on time. Barbara was very friendly and amazing and took the best shots I’ve ever seen. Also helped us with our poses. Surely recommending and booking her for any other future program
