Introduction


David Hughes is a professionally qualified freelance photographer with more than fifteen years experience specialising in portraits, wedding photography and videography.

As well as a Degree in Art History David also holds a higher level City and Guilds qualification in professional photography and is a part time photography teacher.

We are based at Fairkytes Arts Centre in Hornchurch and work within East London and Essex, although we will travel to other locations.
Because of the activities at Fairkytes and our working comitments, please ring before visiting us.
We have a number of qualified and experienced photographers and videographers who work regularly for us covering weddings and social events.

We believe that the artistic composition and creativity of our images speak for themselves and is derived from our photographic expertise and experience. But the clarity, sharpness and colour fidelity of our images is a result of professional Nikon and Canon cameras in expert hands combined with our post processing of RAW files on our editing suite before sending them to our laboratory.

These same high standards are applied to our videography producing creatively shot and sympathetically edited DVDs. We use only professional Sony and Canon widescreen video cameras which produce colour rich and sharp video with fantastic sound quality edited on our NLE editing suite.

Below is a summary of our sevices.
