I have been a photographer for 35 years and in that time have developed a wide skillset which allows me to cover with expertise, wedding work, portraiture (location and studio), business headshots, real estate and landscape work. I can bring full studio lighting to your location as well as having access to studio space here in Bellingham should that be needed.

Phil is very creative with his photography. The use of light, shadows, color, and contrast in his photographs is so unique.

Phil has taken many glamour shots of me for my private manscaping business. He has made my skin glisten and shine with his professional equipment. I am proud to have his watermark tastefully tattooed above my lower appendage. Phil's still photography skills also translate well to video -- no matter how fast I gyrate, he can keep my length in frame! It's not every day you can find a rough gentleman that works in all genres, from solo to group to headshots and facial photography. Top tier! More...

Phil was fantastic and easy to work with! He captured the perfect wedding photos for us! He was very straightforward about availability and pricing. We were on a fairly strict budget and Phil worked with us to give us everything we needed. He went above and beyond and was calm and collected. I was so lucky to find him and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for great photos. More...

Phil Rose is a versatile photographer who is fun to work with and has created some images that have become iconic in the production work I do. Primarily I have used his services as a set photographer on the video productions I make. On one production of a Kickstarter video, his images from the set were so amazing they became an integral part of the Kickstarter campaign. I highly recommend working with Phil because of his amazing work and great personality making the process fun. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Light. It's all about light (except for all of it that isn't!) There's posing, location and critically, a strong eye for composition. There's a hundred more aspects, of course but I guess those are the main ones. Oh, also, you have to be willing to go the extra mile and not settle for 'good enough'.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What are you looking to achieve? Do you have a location or style of location in mind? Can you find some images online that inspire you and would help to point us in the right direction when we shoot?
What do you love most about your job?
Creativity. Helping people to show their best side and gain something they will love and cherish forever.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to be my own boss and provide a great service. The idea of being able to make a living doing what I LOVE fills me with joy every day.
Why should our clients choose you?
Experience, commitment, sheer love of what I do, strong ethical commitment to my clients, speedy turnaround!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Unfortunately not! Though all the booking and so on is done remotely.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I am double vaccinated. I always wear a mask indoors and maintain social distancing.

Portraiture
Whether personally or in business how we present ourselves is very important and, in a more and more visually orientated society, the way we present ourselves visually is vital. Whether you want a business headshot taken in your office, something more formal in studio or vibrant and outrageous fashion work Phil Rose Photography can help.

Commercial
Whether producing images for your restaurant of the fine food or beautiful architectural images of your location, trust me to produce something gorgeous!
Children
As a father myself I know how quickly our children grow up. One moment my daughter was dressed as a superhero and clinging to my leg. The next moment I turned around and she was a beautiful young woman looking around at universities.
As a photographer I have thousands of photographs of my daughter through the years and I know just how much it means to have high quality images of her as she grows up. Don't let those years get by you. Let me immortalise a day at the park or a shoot in the studio.

Fashion
Bellingham is not New York or Los Angeles but if you have a desire to get to either of those places you're going to need a portfolio. Let me help you put that together with unusual, interesting, exciting and beautiful images.
If you own a business perhaps making clothing you're going to need images to sell your products. Let me help you create something unique and attention grabbing to help you succeed.

Food
Whatcom County is a hive of business activity.
Businesses need to promote themselves through websites, print marketing and they need to have images available to provide to local press and so on. I have a lot of experience photographing in the commercial arena including 10 years of photographing the now sadly defunct Bellingham Herald Dining Guide. If you would like to see some of the images from those fun and exciting shoots please click here. Let me help you to put your best face to the public with a wonderful set of images of your location or product.
