Jeff has travelled the planet shooting for Fortune 500 firms for over 25 years. He has worked on every continent except Antarctica (although he did shoot within 500 miles of its shores). Clients like the fact that nothing fazes him on location. He stays on time and on budget, bringing back more useable images than clients think possible.

Kevin Leighton uses photography to represent spontaneous and subtle emotion. He has been invited to photograph many well-known individuals from diverse walks of life: her Majesty the Queen, Arsène Wenger and the pianist Lang Lang are all recent subjects.

His natural style has led to many projects in the arts: for the English National Opera, the Barbican, and principally for the London Symphony Orchestra; to commissions from healthcare organisations, such as the NHS and the Terrence Higgins Trust; and to work for financial institutions and national government bodies.

Kevin has been sent by Christian Aid to document the lives of textile weavers in the slums of Salvador, Brazil - and to Burkina Faso, for a reportage about traditional farmers’ response to climate change that earned him a finalist’s spot in the 2010 Photography Masters Cup International Color Awards. Other projects have taken him to Russia, Cuba, the United States and the Arctic.

Lorentz Gullachsen is well known for his landscape and portrait advertising work, and also has years of experience working on annual reports and corporate communication. Gullachsen loves the variety that industry and corporate commissions provide, from the shop floor to the board room, the wind-farms of Andalusia to the logistics companies in the North of England, and from farming to pharmaceuticals. Gullachsen works to produce effective visual communication using a wide variety of camera systems, lighting rigs and the best light of all: nature's.

After a commission to update and illustrate a photography text book, Gullachsen has been working in the UK, Italy and Spain on a variety of projects.

"Every project is unique. It's the photographer's job to ensure that each image communicates and that the whole collection is a cohesive body that satisfies the designers vision and compliments the clients brand."

"For over 10 years I have been capturing the confidence and mood of business leaders in both the UK and Europe with my corporate photography. My experience shows in my work which is always efficient, always fresh and sometimes award-winning."

Recent projects include Oxford Biomedical 'We believe' film (Client - ThinkerDoer) with director and special effects by Philip Gatward: "I'm really excited about the crossover of stills and moving imagery. Due to the technical difficulty in shooting in a totally sterile lab environment, I combined original moving footage with stills, subtly animated to get full use of this amazing location."
