COMMERCIAL, ADVERTISING, & LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER

BASED IN LONDON

​​

STUART BAILEY - PHOTOGRAPHER FOR BRANDS ACROSS LONDON AND THE UK

​

Hi, I’m Stuart, a commercial and lifestyle photographer based in London, UK. I work with medium to large businesses that need natural, people-centred imagery for marketing, advertising, and everyday brand communications. My style is clean, bright and real — the sort of photography that feels genuine while still looking polished.

A lot of my projects take place in aviation, rail, hospitality and retail, but I also photograph corporate headshots, business events, interiors, and lifestyle shoots for brands across all kinds of sectors.

​

​

WHAT IS COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY?

Commercial photography is any type of photography created specifically for business use. Its main purpose is to help a company promote its services, products, people or brand image. Rather than being artistic for art’s sake, it’s photography with a practical job to do, whether that’s attracting customers, explaining what a business does, supporting an advertising campaign or strengthening a brand’s identity.

​

You’ll usually see commercial photography on websites, social media, brochures, billboards, press releases, annual reports or digital advertising screens.

The aim is always the same: to help a business communicate clearly, look professional, and show its story in a strong, consistent and visually appealing way — and that’s where I come in.

​
 

WHAT I HELP BUSINESSES WITH

Most companies get in touch when they need:

• Commercial photography for brand campaigns

• Lifestyle imagery that shows people using products or services

• Photography for websites, brochures, social media and advertising

• Headshots and team portraits

• Images for retail environments and store design

• Event coverage for corporate occasions, launches or VIP visits

• Aviation and rail photography, both customer-facing and behind the scenes

Some clients book me for a day; others bring me in for a multi-day project to build a full image library they can use throughout the year.

​

​

HOW I WORK

I keep things simple, relaxed and collaborative.
Before any shoot, I’ll find out what visuals matter most, how the brand should come across, and how the images will be used — whether it’s digital ads, internal comms, social media or long-term brand content.

From there, I create photography that feels real and true to your story. No forced poses, no overly-processed editing. Just natural, confident imagery that works across all your channels.

​

​

SECTORS I OFTEN PHOTOGRAPH

Although I work across many industries, I’m regularly hired for photography in:

• Aviation – airports, airlines, cabin crew, ground staff, customer experience

• Retail – store interiors, experiential spaces, staff imagery, design projects

• Events – conferences, VIP visits, award nights and press moments

• Headshots and portraits – leadership teams, staff profiles, PR use

• Hospitality – hotels, restaurants, guest experience, interiors

• Rail and transport – onboard lifestyle photography, staff and passenger moments

If there are people, energy and movement involved, it’s usually up my street.

​

​

WHERE I WORK

​

I’m based in London, but I regularly travel up and down the UK and internationally for retail, events, and other commercial photography projects.
