I’m Emily Widdows, a BA (Hons) Photography graduate with hands-on experience across studio work, on-location shoots, and editorial contributions. I’ve assisted photographers in a busy studio environment—supporting lighting and set ideas, managing equipment, and handling tasks like photo restoration and retouching for everything from headshots to family sessions. I’m especially drawn to music and live performance photography, where I’ve built a diverse portfolio through commissions and freelance work. From BTS and promotional images to live event coverage (including contributions to Groove Magazine), I enjoy capturing real moments with strong attention to detail and then refining them in post-production to deliver polished final results.…I’m Emily Widdows, a BA (Hons) Photography graduate with hands-on experience across studio work, on-location shoots, and editorial contributions.
