Michael Wharley
London
Michael’s energetic, cinematic images that create striking key art and promotional imagery in high-profile worldwide campaigns for Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Paramount Warner Bros, Audible, and more.
His characterful portrait style means he is regularly commissioned to shoot musicians, artists, actors, celebrities, and beyond for an array of national and international publications.
And he works as effortlessly in everyday environments, shooting parks footballers, community gardeners or cold-water swimmers in personal projects that trace connections between people and place: how a love of green spaces defines our contemporary Englishness, how a group of young classical musicians relate to the history of Brixton.
Increasingly, he combines these experiences to tell the stories of brands like Mastercard or agencies like Craft in their campaigns.
Calm, creative collaborative and a joy to work with on set, he’d love to meet and show you his work.

Paul Miller
Denver, USA
Some photographers make images that look good. Paul Miller makes images that feel like something. His work, cinematic, atmospheric, and grounded in real human presence, has been built over two decades of lifestyle, portrait, and campaign production alongside agencies, brand teams, and crews who come back. On set he brings clarity of vision and a collaborative approach that keeps the creative moving in the right direction. In post he stays hands-on until the colour, tone, and feel are exactly right.
When he's not behind a camera he's usually making something with his hands. Restoring Ethel, his 1964 travel trailer, keeping his vintage Honda motorcycle Ursula on the road, or working on whatever the current project is at Ghost, his live/work production studio in Denver. The same instincts that drive his photography, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and knowing when something is finally right, tend to follow him everywhere.

Jason Knott
London
Even in an age where anyone can manipulate anything at a whim, fact still beats fiction. As a race, we’re programmed to recognise truths. It’s why the world’s greatest brands have been built on them.
Jason Knott has known that all his life. As a kid he experimented with an old box camera, tinfoil, paper and passers-by. That was all there was. Beautiful images had to come from subjects. Contours, emotions, muscles in faces, pupils of eyes, glances, turns, things in hands, skies, walls, the worn shine on the seat of a car.
30 years and a few cameras on, Jason works the same way. No fakes. No substitutes. Just the wonders people and places already have, found and framed. His eye searches, the camera remembers. That’s it.
Look at Jason’s images and you can smell the air by seeing it. Sense a joy in a mind by staring a face in the eyes. Hear birdsong looking at a row of trees. Touch the sweat on a brow by noticing it. Visually and beautifully, Jason tells the truth. And that is all communication really has to do to succeed.

Anatol Gottfried
Germany - Spain - South Africa
Anatol Gottfried works across advertising and lifestyle photography — building imagery that fits both polished campaigns and candid, human moments depending on the requirements.
For The Coca-Cola Company, he shot two distinct campaigns in the sports and hydration space. BODYARMOR Lyte, a low-calorie electrolyte drink, called for a grounded lifestyle approach: young people at a beach, a festival, a night kiosk. Unforced, color-driven frames that place the brand inside everyday active life beyond gym-culture posturing. Powerade took a different direction: a Cape Town shoot centered on one basketball player, the focus was physical intensity — imagery built on contrast and raw presence.
Work like this, spanning candid lifestyle and high-contrast sport, defines how Anatol moves across categories for clients worldwide.
