About Me
Hello and welcome!
My name is Juan and I am a unit stills photographer with bases in Yorkshire / North West.
Recently worked with: Netflix, Sky, BFI & Film4
I first developed a love for photography as a teenager living in the Midlands. My very first camera was a Nikon F65.
I loved going for walks around the castle grounds, photographing the local two and four-legged creatures that paraded themselves around the many fields, rivers and lakes they called home. Any chance I got I was outside being at one with nature and if not that, then I was having my mind blown away by the beauty of tv and film. I was that person who would spend hours watching the ‘making-of’ specials over and over again (mostly Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings related).
In my early 20s I shot weddings and portraits part-time but the dream of becoming a full-time photographer were put on hold and for a while I thought it would never return, but then, many years later I started my own business.
I have also been very lucky to be taught by seasoned Stills Photographer Nicola Dove (007: No Time to Die, Murder on the Orient Express) having been a student of her Film Stills Academy course.
I have my own vehicle and full UK driving license. I can travel anywhere in the UK and am also happy to work internationally.

Storytelling through the format of a single image fascinates me.
Photography has been a part of me ever since childhood. It has been my way of documenting life and telling the stories that unravel with it.
