Horton-Stephens Photographers Agents
London
Horton-Stephens have been London's leading photographers' agents for longer than anyone can remember.
They are a sporty bunch, and accordingly love to get involved with the more athletic amongst their photographers - one of them lives for surfing, two of them are tough mudders and two run marathons at the drop of a hat. That might all be a bit ambitious for the relatively sedentary team back in the office, but they're always there in spirit, whether they are shooting for On Running, Finisterre, Fourth Element or Cotswold Outdoors or with such icons as Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso or players at Peckham FC!
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 happy working alongside production provided by client or providing a full service. It goes without saying that they have 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!
2024 has been a blur with new campaigns for National Rail, Sky, Amex and Waitrose, with more to break shortly! Winning recent Cannes Awards, Creative Circle Awards (two Gold, two Silver) and a D&AD pencil! Do reach out to them if they can help you too and head over to their website, Latest News section, to see recent projects and more.

FEMALE SUMO - Physically demanding and tactically straining, sumo is a nuanced and exciting sport.
Male sumo wrestlers are held in the highest of regards, akin to rockstars. Females however are traditionally expected to play a supportive role; partner, wife, surrogate mother.
This attitude is slowly changing. With more women taking part in the sport than ever, what was until recently was seen as strange hobby could soon become a professional sport for women, just as it is for their male counterparts.
