Horton-Stephens, London's leading photographers' agents for over 25 years, are happy to introduce some new talent - Jack Lawson. Jack’s work is a great mix of lifestyle alongside some amazing personal projects from Uganda and Ghana. His gallery is now live on their website!

Horton-Stephens is well-known for representing a world-class group of photographers, but moving image has become a bigger and bigger part of what the team do. Great production remains key to the success of all their shoots.

They’re friendly and approachable, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of lighting, casting, locations (in the UK and worldwide), set building, timings, post-production, CGI and moving image - whether shooting TVCs or on the back of TVCs (a very particular challenge that they deal with often, where they only have moments to get the shot), they’ve done it all! They also look after two CGI outfits!

A busy start to 2021 with some great projects for some great brands such as Ferrari, McLaren, Honda and a 10-metre-long electric bus and van for Arrival - not only lots of stills but also collaborating with a great team to create short films for Jaguar, Lotus and McLaren which was super fun, and the results speak for themselves."
