Commercial Photographer Birmingham,
Graham Oakes.
I left school to be a professional photographer – a fact I’m immensely proud of, there’s not many people around who have had a job for life (especially self employed) in one profession. I’ve survived recessions and the move to digital – never once regretting my chosen path.
I’m passionate, enthusiastic and fun to work with. Many of my clients have been with me long-term but I’m always delighted to get new customers on board, for one off jobs, large regular contracts or something unusual. I am based in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, but am happy to cover the whole of the West Midlands and beyond!
Here’s a quote from one of my clients – who owns her own Public Relations Company.
“If you’re looking for a Creative Photographer who can turn out great pic after great pic – then Graham’s your man. Quality is walked not talked and Graham’s photographs really project quality. A fast worker who knows the importance of deadlines – he’s equally at home in the studio as he is on location. A perfect combination of being both down to earth, friendly but highly creative.”
I read many a Photography magazine and article , and keep up to date on what’s on trend and what’s relevant. I take photographs all of the time, if not at work, just for pleasure – on my phone if I’m not with my camera (a rarity) and see beautiful images all around me.
