SIMON PEPPER, BRIGHTON & HOVE-BASED PHOTOGRAPHER & DESIGNER

WELCOME! Thanks for stopping by...

 THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY 
I started work as a photographer just a short few years ago and have been lucky enough to turn my passion's into my dreams...i'm still working on this part of my introduction but in the meantime here's a bit more about me and my photography / design / concept / creativity and past experience which has lead me to where I am today...
STRIKE A POSE
My aim is to create the best photos I can. My aim is to to make everyone look and look feel their very best in front of the camera and create something special.
We all have a story to tell...
My approach is driven by your unique story. Whether you're striking a fierce, spontaneous pose or forgetting to pose at all, I believe a strong relationship is the foundation to incredible photography. 
MY STORY
I trained in Fashion Design at the London College of Fashion and in Photography at Brighton & Hove City College and have 25 years of experience working in industries for which image is everything, from the arts, media and entertainment to fashion and beauty.

In my early career, I worked with Ken McReddie Ltd (now theartistspartnership.co.uk, one of the UK's leading Theatrical Agencies in London) whose client list include Helen Mirren, Emily Blunt and Idris Elba. In London Selfridges I worked for Estee Lauder as a beauty consultant. I've also worked as a Head Booker with for Ugly & Rage Models and as a talent scout and Sandra Reynolds Model Agency as Head of Casting. Nationally, I have also worked with several lifestyle magazines including ES (Evening Standard), The Independent, and Stella Magazine (The Sunday Telegraph) in Sales and Advertising.

MY WORK
My photography work focuses on Portraiture and I specialise in actor headshots / artist portfolios (including musicians, health & fitness, models, yoga, drag and body), celebrities, commercial, live gig and concert, events, personal milestones and special occasions including weddings. 

Locally, my work has been published in Sussex Life Magazine and Gscene Magazine where I have had published 3 covers in 2019. Business and clients I have worked with include: gscene.comgemyoga.co.ukstanmerhouse.co.ukproudcabaretbrighton.comskybreak.co.uksussexlife.co.ukhomeinstead.co.uk/brightonbrighton-pride.orgshuttleon.comlawtonanddawe.co.ukepic80s.co.ukmagicqueen.co.ukiwpride.orgnutritionalbiobalance.co.uktherottingdeanclub.com and murraychalmers.com.

I've been lucky enough to photograph my idol, Kylie Minogue in 2019 as well as other great music icons such as Grace Jones and Nile Rodgers at Brighton Pride. I've also photographed celebrities including Amelia Gething, One of the UK's most loved and famous drag queens Miss Jason aka Actor Jason Sutton and Irene Major.  In addition I have photographed local charity events including alzheimers.org.uk and the Brighton bus launch of martinfisherfoundation.org which works towards Zero HIV.

I also offer photo editing in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop and have recently added Adobe Indesign to my skillset in 2018.
