Gavin Forster Photography in Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland

With over 14 years of professional experience, I have worked alongside some of the best photographers in Yorkshire and the North East, gaining a wealth of skills to complement my own unique style. I have very quickly gained a reputation for having a creative eye and being able to capture images in a unique way, that others hadn’t even imagined. My images are beautifully composed and utilise lighting to enhance the feel and atmosphere of the situation.

My creative eye, attention to detail and desire to create stunning images that are unique, so standing the client’s business out from the crowd, has also led to me being asked to provide training sessions. These training sessions to groups of small local businesses (such as FSB North East, Savvy Solos Business club, Derwentside Business Network & Darlington Business Club) focusses on simple techniques that can be used to capture better product images on a camera equipment (including phones). Feedback from these sessions is always very positive and appreciated by businesses that are too small to have the available budget for professional photography. In addition, I have been asked to deliver training sessions for Arch  a leader in his field providing training for both local businesses and other photographers.


My photography business, over the last 8 years has grown in financial terms but also in awareness locally. I was the 2018 FSB Micro Business of the Year (North East) winner which got me an invite to the prestigious national awards. As an ambassador for the British Photography Awards and a representative of the Fair Trade Agency, its fantastic to be able to grow the industry.
