about claire benson photography
Keeping it real, capturing the emotion, telling a story.
Hello!
My name is Claire and I live in the beautiful county of Cumbria, with my partner Paul.
Creative storytelling is in my DNA! I've been a marketing and communications strategist and professional photographer for over twenty years. I have a particular love of brand strategy and public relations which I draw on when I work with my photography clients.
I am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, Member of the Chartered Institute of PR, studied at Kendal College in relation to my photography and I have an advanced DBS check. For my marketing consultancy check out The Marketing Power Hour.
So whether it is a brand photoshoot, children's fine art, teen or family photography session, I plan each shoot meticulously, drawing on my knowledge and skillset to ensure we create amazing images which match your needs.
My philosophy is always the same - great communication to make sure you know what to expect, ensure you have input into the planning and work hard to make sure you are relaxed and comfortable on the day.
From the location, what to wear, to where the images are going to be displayed or used, through to the editing style, I make sure each shoot is designed from start to finish with the client in mind.
I mainly shoot with prime lenses, and I look to make sure we have movement and laughter in our sessions.
With each shoot, you will have a link to your own private online gallery where we proof your images, make any amends - all rather easy really.
If you would like to find out more, why not get in touch!
I look forward to hearing from you,
Claire
