about studio maple
Hi! I’m Neil and this is my wife Liv. Stratford-upon-Avon meets Adelaide, South Australia and now Stroud, Gloucestershire. We have been exploring the planet together for over 20 years now and along the way creating many wonderful memories.
Currently I’m working with clients providing interiors and architecture photography and short films. Recently I’ve also been the in-house studio photographer creating product photography with the team at Neptune based in Wiltshire. Lots of fun with a fantastic crew!
My background is in graphic design and I used to have a little record store in Birmingham many, many moons ago before I came back to my beloved photography. A lovely varied journey!
Most of all, I love meeting my clients and more importantly I love doing what I do and feel incredibly fortunate to be able to make a living from making wonderful images for my customers.
Whether you have an upcoming project that needs documenting or just need some general information about me and my services for future reference, I would love to talk with you about it!
Testimonials
“LDA Design creates places where people feel at ease, close to nature and where they feel like they belong.
Neil has helped us capture the magic of some of the places we have designed and how people are using them.
He has a talent for framing a shot and recognising special moments. His photos have helped us to tell our story and what it means to be somewhere that works.
As a professional, he is a pleasure to work with –
accommodating and attentive to the brief.
Put simply, a joy.”
Clare Brookman, LDA Design London
Neil and I have had the pleasure of working together for the last few years.
He is a very skilled photographer and videographer, listening to our requirements whilst also adding his own creative flair to deliver impressive content.
Neil is timely and professional, always meeting our deadlines.
He brings a sense of fun to whatever project we work on together.
Naomi Glynn, Associate Brand & Marketing Director, Sims-Hilditch
“Neil has a wider interest in design and the creative arts that enables him to intuitively understand what we want to
express through images of our schemes, catching atmosphere, life and activity, movement, wildlife and design details with artistry and skill.
His photographs of our schemes go beyond doing them justice: they bring them alive and they invite the audience into the space.
Neil is a joy to work with, taking time to understand the project, our objectives and going the extra mile to catch the best moments, light and atmosphere.
The photographs are beautiful. The time and care he takes to understand the scheme and people using it, as well as the patience, craft and artistry involved on site and in
Post-production, result in photographs that are a world better than we could produce ourselves.
Neil breathes life into images of our projects, catching both human moments and flourishing wildlife with artistry to create beautiful photographs that remind if why we are proud of our schemes.”
— Kevin Barton, Managing Director, Robert Bray Associates
“We began working with Neil last year and since then he has done a brilliant job photographing our exhibitions and helping us document our events beautifully.
Neil also captured our Frieze Masters stand in video, producing a professional short film for us for both our website and social media.”
— Diana Bulcara , Digital Manager, Philip Mould & Company
“Neil at Studio Maple is an absolute joy to work with!
I've used him to photograph several projects and his work ethic and work product are both superb.
He's an absolute delight to have on site, with excellent attention to detail, and a prompt turnaround of edited photos.
Thank you, Neil for helping me to share my projects with the public.
I so appreciate all your help!”
