About me
I shoot unit stills for the film and television industry. I also shoot travel content, corporate headshots and product shots, interiors and architecture on location and from my Cheltenham studio. I also enjoy helping others make the most of their photography and I run regular overseas Photo Workshops for the tour operator KUONI. I was a brand ambassador for the camera company Olympus for 5 years, I've had two solo exhibitions and I have been published in numerous books and magazines. IG: @buchangrant01

In my first few weeks here in my new adopted town of Cheltenham (since moved to Herefordshire), I came across a dress designer who embellishes her garments with exquisite embroidery. She works with a number of similarly talented milliners and jewellery makers. Within a week we had organised a quick shoot in my little studio, 2 outfits and 2 models.

    Photo Tour Leader/TutorKUONI
    Winchester, United KingdomFreelance
    I lead phototours for the luxury tour operator KUONI. These annual tours involve escorting 10-18 clients on a bespoke long-haul vacation with a strong emphasis on photography. The tuition is relaxed in its delivery, covers all aspects of travel photography with bias towards travel portraiture and working intuitively with strangers. Our first 3 tours took place in India, Vietnam/Cambodia and Russia. There was a high level of repeat bookings for the 2nd two tours
