George Brooks

Delivered high-volume product and lifestyle photography and videography in a busy e-commerce studio, ensuring results stayed consistent and on brand. Shot menswear and womenswear on model and still life, directing models and configuring studio lighting to each brand’s guidelines. Planned and captured product and lifestyle video alongside stills, managing scheduling, crew and locations. Retouched stills and video to professional standards, briefed retouching teams on final adjustments, and maintained rigorous quality control before client delivery. Supported freelance photographers during busy periods to keep output consistent, and ran the studio with a team of four alongside two directors.

Run my own commercial photography business, delivering fashion, product and lifestyle shoots for brands, venues and local businesses. I manage every stage of production myself, including briefs, planning, lighting, directing people on set and final retouching. I also shoot corporate events and team headshots, creating business lifestyle content for use across websites and social channels. Alongside studio work, I produce story-led projects on location with a focus on watersports and the outdoors. I manage client communications directly, including quotes, scheduling and final delivery.

Shot product photography and video, created merchandise and print adverts, and helped set the brand look and voice across platforms. Grew and managed social media accounts to over 30,000 followers by running product and event campaigns and building community through follower content. Managed the shop day-to-day, including orders, stock and customer service.
