Oliver Ruddock Photography
About me
Photography has always been at the centre of my creative life. I’m a commercially trained photographer and retoucher with a strong interest in brand-led imagery, visual storytelling, and the craft of refining an image in post-production.
​
One of the things I value most about photography is working closely with people (whether clients, collaborators, or subjects) and creating an environment where they feel relaxed and confident in front of the lens.
This approach allows me to capture images that feel natural, considered, and true to the brief, while presenting people or products at their best.
​
I take real pride in the technical side of image-making, from shooting through to post-production. I enjoy the discipline of refining colour, tone, and detail, and ensuring consistency across a set so that the final images feel cohesive, polished, and fit for purpose across digital and marketing platforms.
My interest in photography began at school and continued through GCSEs and A-levels, before completing a BA (Hons) in Photography. Studying during periods of COVID lockdown required adaptability and resilience, particularly on such a hands-on course, but it strengthened my ability to work independently, problem-solve creatively, and stay focused under challenging conditions.
​
I approach every project with enthusiasm, professionalism, and attention to detail, and I’m motivated by producing work that balances creativity with clarity, precision, and brand integrity.
