Christopher Willan
Travel photographers
Chris is a multi-award winning travel photographer. He has worked with the biggest brands in the industry for over 30 years and in over 90 countries. He is a storyteller at heart, and his portfolio gives you an insight into a photographer who matches technical skill with intimate stories.
The most beautiful locations, all the big hitters, but with a unique perspective that brings destinations to life and celebrates the culture and people that make these places special. And besides producing an extraordinary volume of output from travel shoots, that personal touch is the difference.
Committed to sustainability and responsible business, Chris is a winner of the World Responsible Travel Award.
He is magnetic, disarming and a lot of fun to be around. That might seem incidental, but it results in images that are almost impossible to come by anywhere else. There is an empathy and engagement with people that tells a story. The spontaneous moments, the ones that usually come through years of friendship, but Chris finds with strangers.

Marc Haydon
London
Marc Haydon started out with ambitions of being a music photographer but found himself going through a voyage of photographic discovery to finally find his love for still life and food photography.
In Marc’s most recent personal project, he has explored a re-creation of stage lighting in a still life series of un-usual and exotic fruit and vegetables from Shepherds Bush Market near by his studio. The images combine whimsical compositions and theatrical lighting giving the subject a sense of being centre stage.
Day-to-day Marc produces photography for food businesses, supermarkets, restaurants, magazines and more. Working collaboratively with talented stylists, his aim in food photography is to maximum appetite appeal through lighting, composition, propping and styling.
