Schools' Photography

A speciality of mine has been photography in an educational setting. In my last job, before going freelance, I worked with an organisation that had two schools: from nursery to year thirteen. I still help at these schools as a volunteer, as such I have an enhanced DBS check in place.

My role was to work closely with the marketing team to produce high quality digital images. Showing the schools and students involved in their daily life, from a classroom setting to the sports field and in other amazing extra-curricular activities. These images were used in a wide variety of formats, from marketing materials, weekly newsletters, brochures, social media posts and for the termly sports team photos for the parents. 

Having worked in this sensitive environment I am aware of the importance of safeguarding and the strict permissions and consents that are required. For these reasons I have no portfolio to share, however I can share a few recommendations from my previous work.

Tom O - Headmaster 

‘Spencer worked for Chelt Prep as a photographer. He clearly loved his job, got on brilliantly with the staff and children and, as a result, was able to capture many magical moments - rather than producing the same old cliched semi-staged shots you see so often. His work is exceptional, and he is genuinely fun to work with.’

Rebecca N - Head of Pre Prep 

‘Spencer is an excellent photographer and media visual specialist. Having worked with him on a number of high profile campaigns for Cheltenham College, I thoroughly recommend him for his talent and professionalism.’

Jess OW - Senior Marketing Executive and now Head of Marketing and admissions 

‘Working with Spencer was nothing short of fantastic! He is a brilliant photographer, working extremely well with staff and pupils (3-18) alike. He is highly creative and dedicated to the job at hand, always producing excellent photographs. Spencer would go above and beyond with all bookings/events, coming up with new ideas and creatives.’
