In their words

Client Reviews

Having worked with Wayne on many photoshoots over years I genuinely wouldn't work with anyone else. Top person, and always over exceeds the brief. Highly recommend.

Rachel Flynn

Head of Marketing & Communications, The Litmus Partnership

We've used Wayne for a number of years for: big projects such as the new website people profiles; our ongoing people headshots; any press photos we need. Wayne always nails the brief. He puts people at ease capturing personalities and our brand perfectly.

Andrea Stamp

Director of Marketing & Business Development, Forbes Solicitors

We have worked with Wayne for many years now and can truly say his work is brilliant. I have had people specifically ask for our photographer's details after looking at our website. Wayne is also professional, friendly and understanding which makes for a great working relationship.

Helen Hesketh

Co-Founder & Financial Controller, Hesketh Jones Construction

Back in 2021 I was in desperate need of a product photographer to elevate and evolve the product photography of the brand I was working for at the time. Wayne delivered ten fold. His style and technique produced unquestionably high quality results and raised the bar to a new level. I would highly recommend Wayne to anyone looking to raise their product photography and post production to the next level.

Simon Picton

Head of Creative Services (ex Red Bull, Sky Sports)

Wayne has a fantastic personable but professional approach to his photography, and the end images were not only delivered within 1 working day, but also to a very high standard. For our next event in or around Manchester, for sure will be booking again — thank you.

Jo Short MCIM

Partnerships & Marketing Director, Full Comms

I highly recommend Wayne for professional headshots. His exceptional skill in capturing natural expressions and attention to detail result in stunning images. Wayne creates a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere, bringing out the best in clients. With a keen eye for composition and lighting, his work truly stands out.

Bonnie-Anne Phillips

Relationship Manager

We couldn't have found a more suited, well rounded and professional photographer if we tried. After approaching Wayne in late 2022 about updating our product imagery I think he thought we were crazy for attempting to photograph 300+ SKUs of commercial refrigeration backlog amounting to 1000s of finalised shots in what we hoped would be a few months. But he was more than up for the task! High shine, stainless steel and mirror finish — he dealt with the lot, on units that varied from a toaster to a 2 metre wide merchandiser unit! His punctuality, work ethic and enthusiasm for the job was second to none. Wayne has gained a client for life and we continue to use his services whenever needed.

Craig Green C.F.S.P

Marketing Manager, Pentland Wholesale

Big Sky Creative have worked with Wayne on photo and video projects over the past several years. Wayne is our go-to photographer, I'd recommend him to any client without hesitation. Professional results and a pleasure to work with.

We've had the pleasure of knowing Wayne for a number of years now, for our in-house, website and project photography. Wayne is very professional and has a relaxed, engaging style (as well as a very impressive beard!), putting the team at ease. I'm sure others that work with him will experience this too.

We have used Wayne for many years. He is our 'go to' man when it comes to photography. The product photography that he has produced for our businesses is simply stunning and his eye for detail is second to none — he can shoot any product and make it look amazing. On a personal level Wayne is so professional, full of creative ideas, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. If anyone is looking for an experienced creative photographer then Wayne is the man to contact — we simply wouldn't go anywhere else.
