I am a maternity, newborn baby, family and corporate branding photographer and a contemporary/fine art photographer based in Balham, South West London.
My shooting style is relaxed and natural with an elegant aesthetic feel to give you beautiful and timeless family memories to treasure. Being a mother of two grown up children I really appreciate the importance of capturing special moments and fun family times.
Photo shoots for or all occasions include : Maternity, Newborn, Family & Children and Events such as Christenings and Parties.
Additionally, Business & Social Media imagery, including Headshot Portraiture, are produced in a relaxed and fully consultative way to produce photos with a clear message to promote you and your business.
In addition to photography, I love to produce personally designed high quality photo books that can include photos from photoshoots and other images that you would like to include. I offer a scanning and retouching of images service to recapture memories and bring back to life old photographs that can also be added to photo books.
Creative photography is a new and exciting direction for me, please take a look at my Fine Art website: Sueoakfordphotography.co.uk where you can see imagery I have created using natural light to emulate the atmosphere and depth hankering back to the days of dark and shadow conjuring allegorical themes within our times and bringing back life to that which would ordinarily be overlooked. I have been really fortunate to be recognised for my Fine Art work and I was totally thrilled to be awarded Emerging Talent 2021/22 by the prestigious Association of Photographers for my series of Still Life images. I was also selected to be part of the 2021/2022 ‘Best of Show Curatorial Selection’ at the International Photography Awards and awarded a 2nd place overall in the Still life Category for my limited-edition image of ‘Gin & Tonic’.
Additionally, I have been awarded Category Honourable Mentions at the 2021, 17th Julia Margaret Cameron Awards for my landscape and still life images and awarded a ‘Finalist Artist’ and ‘Honourable Mentions’ in the Still Life, International Garden Photographer of the Year 2020 & 2021.
Other international awards such as Monochrome International Photography 2020 & 2021 and the Fine Art Chromatic Colour 2020 have also recognised my work.
For continued professional inspiration I am an Associate member of The Association of Photographers (AOP), a Licentiate member of The Royal Photographic Society (RPS), a member of London Independent Photographers (LIP) and a contributor to PhotoVogue Italia, Shutterhub and SheClicks UK and I have taken part in numerous exhibitions to showcase works from my private portfolio.
