about osborne photography
I’m a commercial photographer based in Leicestershire providing photography and video for businesses and organisations across the UK.
I started Osborne Photography in 2009, following a career in advertising and marketing and several years studying photography alongside it. That background still influences the way I work today: understanding what an organisation is trying to communicate, not simply turning up and taking pictures.
My work covers architecture and interiors, events, portraits and video. I work with clients ranging from architects and creative agencies to universities and large organisations, both on individual commissions and ongoing projects.
I like to keep shoots relaxed and straightforward. I’ll bring ideas when they're useful, adapt when plans change and make sure you get what you need from the day - without making the photography more complicated than it needs to be.

frequently asked questions
how much does your photography cost and what does it include?
My quotes usually include shoot time, standard editing and image enhancement, usage and delivery via an online gallery. Travel and accommodation, where required, are agreed at the quote stage.
Every project is different, so I quote individually rather than publishing a fixed rate card. Send me a brief and I’ll normally come back to you with a quote within 24 hours - often much sooner.
do you edit the images?
Yes. Every delivered image is individually edited, including adjustments to exposure, colour, contrast, cropping and straightening where required.
More extensive retouching such as removing objects, repairing surfaces or detailed skin retouching can also be provided where needed. If this involves significant additional work, I’ll agree any extra cost with you first.
do I get all of the pictures from the photoshoot?
After each shoot I review and curate the photographs, removing duplicates, test frames and technical outtakes. You’ll receive a strong selection of usable images appropriate to the brief, rather than hundreds of near-identical frames.
The final number varies depending on the type and length of shoot and will be agreed as part of the brief if required.
do you travel?
Absolutely. I’m based in Leicestershire and regularly work throughout the UK. For projects further afield, travel and any necessary accommodation are simply agreed as part of the quote.
