About

Hi, I'm Craig - an enthusiastic photographer based in the South with my wife and son.

1808photo co uk

I've joined Bark in order to broaden my portfolio and this seems like a great way to do it = I provide 1st Class images, and charge modest rates compared to the 'big boys'

Commercial & Corporate Photographers

I needed a last-minute job and Craig produced some excellent work within minutes of getting my brief. He is easy to work with and a great communicator. Very happy with the results.

Craig did excellent product shots for our coffee makers. Plenty more to come.

29 December 2020

Craig has done lots of product shots for me over the last year - for 6 of my own customers (I run a web development business), Craig has delivered on time - every time. .. and is a good guy to work with.
Here's to 2021!

Having never used Bark before, I was concerned I wouldn't find 'quality' however, Craig not only provided what I will describe as an A1 service - but at a fraction of the cost I was quoted locally.

Craig came out to us last weekend at fairly short notice, really helpful guy, took some excellent pics for us. Very happy with the result.

18 February 2020

Excellent headshots, thanks again!

Craig has been our 'go to guy' for photography for about a year now, and although we're not the easiest company to deal with - Craig is always on hand to help and offer solutions.
Great guy. Recommend highly for people and product photography

Craig took our headshots recently, and we're beyond happy with the results. We highly recommend Craig and will use him again when the need for photography comes up.

7 January 2020

Craig produced 26 corporate headshots for us at very short notice.
We work in a very demanding industry and therefore needed our photography done at the weekend, Craig was very helpful and the day was a roaring success! The images we got back looked like they came out of a professional studio, when in fact they were all taken in our office. More...

Very pleased with Craig, will use again and highly recommend.

We had a last minute requirement for high quality photography ... Craig not only gave us some excellent images, but he agreed to bring his laptop and edit them at our offices on the same day - which allowed us to upload and update the same day the pictures were taken.
See you in Feb for the next one Craig!

Craig took our Christmas photos this year - they are even better than we'd thought they'd be.
We've already booked Craig for an Autumn Family shoot for January -- can't wait.

Craig is excellent!
Good value for money, great personality, easy to be around - exactly what you want from a photographer. .. especially if you're not too comfortable in front of a camera!! More...

Craig is extremely helpful and has helped us get some outstanding product shots for the business. A really nice person to work with and offered a 'no pressure' approach to us. I really likes working with Craig and if you're nervous about hiring a photographer - pick Craig, he held our hand through the whole process.
Thanks

Craig did a good job for me. Turned up early - stayed late and delivered on time.
We're working on another project together at the moment.

4 December 2019

Craig, thanks for the pictures, I'm really impressed with what you managed to get on the day.
I highly recommend Craig, he's a nice guy to work with and very reasonable compared to the other photographers we talked to.
Next time we need some shots I'll call you directly.

Craig is really great to work with, I wanted some portraits done for my portfolio and Craig was great. He started by talking through some of the options for locations and when we decided on where to go he had arrived early to look around at where the light was best before I arrived - to make sure I was getting the best quality and most for my money. Craig was the only professional to offer me all the images he got on the day... he didn't limit it to 3 or 4 and charge me more for extras. I ended up with 36 pictures, and my only problem now is choosing between them all :) ... Thanks again Craig, I've already recommended you to a few of the guys I work with. More...

Hi Kim, I'm chuffed you're so pleased with the images - it was a challenging request, but we got there!! :) Like I said before, if you need anything else, or any of those images tweaking - just let me know, obviously no charge! Thanks for the referrals, Chris sent me a text last week and it looks like he'll be booking in too! :) Craig

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED

We used Craig to take care of our Corporate Headshots (there were 30+ people on the day). I was impressed with the way Craig organised the day, the prompt delivery of the images to us, the price Craig quoted was not only significantly less expensive than others we received, but the quality of the images were fantastic - better than we were hoping for in truth.
Everyone on the day found Craig to be friendly and approachable. On the day Craig also took it upon himself to take some images of our facility (for no extra charge) which we're very grateful for and have also been used in our marketing material.
Looking forward to working with Craig in our other businesses in the future.

Just to add.. he was really helpful before we even met and helped talk me through some good ideas and we settled for doing the shoot at a local nature reserve which I never would have thought of so again, can’t praise him highly enough!!

General Photography

Hired Craig to take some photos of me and my 2 boys (7&8 yrs old) to surprise my partner for Christmas and he was EXCELLENT! !! Genuinely nice guy, photos were brilliant and he was really great with the kids. He took over 2000 photos and whittled them down to just over 100 (a lot of unusable photos, naturally) and sent me the link within hours... really cannot fault him and he even helped to advise me good sites to get them printed. Not one to leave reviews normally but credit where it’s due and it’s certainly due!!!! Will definitely use him again and would recommend to anybody.. would leave more stars if I could!!

Thank you Craig, brilliant work!!!!! 👌🏼👌🏼

I needed high quality images on a white background for my Amazon listing. Craig got back to me instantly, and provided me with just that. I had posted the product to him the same day and the images were taken and finished the day after. Highly recommend. More...

Q&As

Communication!
Despite popular belief, you don't get awesome images by asking people to 'say cheeeeese' hundreds of times :)
Depending on the scenario, I might need to discretely get some beautiful 'candid' shots without people reacting at all.
The reality is that the secret behind breathtaking shots will depend entirely on the type of shot we're looking for.

Quite a lot. It's best to get a lot of the detail nailed early - that way we know if we're going to work well together and if my personality/style suits the project.

Getting calls from clients after I've delivered their images ... I LOVE those calls! I love hearing how pleased people are with my work!

My wife. I've been taking photos for years, and she encouraged me to take the plunge

Because I'll deliver images they'll love! ... If I don't, you can have your money back :)
