We’ve used Claire for both fundraising campaigns and at events and have always been impressed with the quality of her work. Claire is:

• easy to work with;

• friendly, and;

• professional.

“We trust that she will not only complete a brief but also go above and beyond!”

Trudy Boulert, Digital Communications Officer – Debra

“Glorious Creative have been commissioning Claire since 2004. Projects range from EN magazine, where Claire helped establish the magazine’s photographic style as well as produce a whole range of interesting cover portraits, to work for the NWDA, Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Lees Solicitors and the Manchester Urology Group. She always brings enthusiasm and commitment to every project and has that rare ability to relax her subjects to ensure she captures great images. Glorious would have no hesitation recommending Claire.”

Mark Ross – Design Director of Glorious Creative

“I’ve worked with Claire on several photo shoots and she has always been fantastic to work with. Claire has done portrait shots of lots of the BBC presenters at stations across the North, she has also taken photos for me at events and outside shoots. She is easy to get along with and always makes the presenters very relaxed so she gets the best shots out of them. And she gives them clear direction so they know exactly what to do. Everyone has always been really pleased with the pictures she delivers. Her images have been used in various publications, print and online. I would definitely recommend Claire as a photographer”.

Karen Williams, Publicist at the BBC

“I’ve been working with Claire for a few years now and each and every time we get Claire in she does her best to get exactly what we are looking for. Always prompt, professional and a pleasure to work with. Shots are sent over so quickly after the shoot for proofing so gives us the flexibility to use the shots straight away.”

Lynsey Thompson, Events and Campaign Co-ordinator, Datel

“I’ve used Claire twice now and recommended her to other businesses needing to take fantastic portrait photos. She is truly excellent. On our last shoot, poor Claire was up against a tight deadline but she still managed to produce a range of brilliant photos!”

Liz Ward – Virtuoso Legal – The Intellectual Property Specialists

“As Design Manager at Manchester Art Gallery I am responsible for producing strong gallery branded communications. Claire was initially commissioned to provide our brand photography, communicating our values: welcoming, warm, fun and engaging. She continued to work with us over a 6 year period. She has produced exceptional shots for us. A good director, she works well with models (our models are our visitors), is highly professional, delivers great work, on time. Claire works incredibly hard to get the best shots, the end result is beautiful photography. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”

Pauline Minsky, Design Manager, Manchester Art Gallery

“We regularly used Claire for cover story shoots for EN Magazine. If you want someone to turn up for five minutes, take a few snaps and hope for the best, Claire isn’t your woman. If, on the other hand, you want a photographer who will strain every sinew to wring the best results out of her sitters then you’ve come to the right place. I’ll never forget, for example, the precise instructions she gave to Peter Jones (yes, that Peter Jones) about the exact placement of his eyebrows! It’s the tiny little details that alone may not make much difference but when all are taken together make the difference between a competent picture and an image that has enduring power and quality. Claire doesn’t leave anything to chance when lighting, posing and carrying out a photoshoot. If you hire her, you won’t be doing so either.”

Stuart Anderson, Editor of EN magazine until 2012
