Hello, my name is Owen Peters, I’ve been an Event/Freelance Photographer based in Manchester for the past 3 years; collaborating primarily as an Event Photographer with DE Photography covering a variety of events across the country from the British Gymnastics Championships to the European Taekwondo Finals.

My work was then noticed by both Paul Cooper and Little Mark Holland and I was invited to support them as an assistant photographer, working with clients such as Manchester United, Liverpool FC, Aston Villa, Fanatics and Joanie.

Alongside working as an assistant photographer I have continued to grow my personal freelance business and have had the pleasure of working closely with the Blossoms, The AA and Off the Radar clothing.

I would like to invite you to look at my online portfolio which is linked in my profile, and if you feel we may be a good fit to work together, please don’t hesitate to contact me on: 07443226091.

Owen Peters

I'm Ben a freelance photographer and assistant working in a range of sectors from fine art to the commercial including - Interior Design photography, food and hospitality, motorsport and events.
I have assisted on some brilliant projects as a first and second assistant. One of the most valuable things I've learnt whilst assisting is the way to communicate effectively with the client.
I grew up in Bolivia, South America, where my passion for the arts began as it was an incredibly colourful and vibrant country where the arts were celebrated. I began my photography journey there, taking portraits of the locals and the incredible scenery. I have since been on a journey of personal development working on my own practice and style. One of my most celebrated cinematic projects, which is still ongoing, is entitled titled Wonderfully Mundane.
I'd love to chat if you would like me on board with any projects in the future.
Ben

I am a recent Photography BA(Hons) graduate from the University of Westminster with first class honours and I am looking for assisting opportunities.
I have recently started to assist photographers such as Julia Fullerton-Batten, Duncan Elliott, Frank Herholdt, Matthew Shave, Eddie Miles, Tony Harris in the field of art, fashion, portrait, interior and food photography.
I am familiar with both studio sets and on-location shooting, using ambient and/or 30+ lights on set. I have been working mainly with Profoto gears. I use Capture1, Lightroom, Photoshop. I have also been using 35mm analogue and digital, medium format and 4x5 cameras.

I have experience shooting in extreme cold / hot environments and also as a second shooter.

I’m highly proficient in post-production and colour management. I’m accustomed to working fast under tight deadlines and to delivering files for either digital or print use.
