With my office being in The Cotswolds (Wotton-under-Edge), I love photographing and videoing clients and events in Oxford and the surrounding areas. There are so many beautiful locations to use as backdrops for photo shoots we are absolutely spoilt for choice.
Oxford is a city rich with history and culture, with lots of events happening and places to visit. Popular choices include the Ashmolean Museum, Bodleian Library, The Pitt Rivers Museum and Oxford Castle & Prison to just name a few. Have a look at Oxford City Council’s Visit Oxford page for more information.
Take a look through my various portfolios above to see the different types of photography which I could help you with, including portraits, industrial, architectural, case study, studio and more.
