Business overview

Simplicity in photography for over 35 years

Photography should always be regarded as a business essential, not a luxury. So just imagine for a moment a commercial studio where you do not pay a penny for the photographer's time working in that studio ... only for the finished product, ancillary services and location work.

+++

HL-Studio Commercial Photography specialises in commercial work, covering product photography for clients' own websites and advertising literature and for Amazon, Etsy and similar portals, corporate portraiture in the studio and on location, fashion and related work, including model, dance and acting portfolios, virtual tours, architecture and interior design mainly for the estate agency, residential property management and travel and tourism industries, claims assessment photography within the insurance industry, events and in-studio virtual reality ...

... but we are just as much at home working with private clients for boudoir and pet portraiture.

Great experience!

5
I had a pleasure to work with Barney in his studio '' Hangleton Studio'' and hopefully we will be able to work together again one day!

Barney was really welcoming, friendly and easy to get on with! Apart from him being an amazing host, he's also a great photographer! We shot a bit of commercial work which was really relaxed as Barney knew exactly what to do and how to make it all work efficiently

We also managed to shoot something more creative and results we got were amazing. Barney definitely has a great understanding of lighting that helped us achieving beautiful and atmospheric images.

I would definitely recommend working with him. Thank you and looking forward to working with you again!

Amazing shoot!

Had an amazing shoot with Barney! Communication was brilliant. Made to feel very comfortable - a good cuppa was supplied at all times! The shoot flowed very well and there was never an awkward silence. The photos produced are amazing and can't wait to see the final edits. Highly recommended!

True Master of the Craft

I had the great pleasure of working alongside Barney again recently at his legendary annual Charity Photo Shoot.

Charming, highly knowledgeable and professional, it was obvious the high regard he is held in by all those there, from photographers and models to staff at the site and the people he has persuaded to kindly donate time with their vehicles to the event.

Barney is a true Master in the craft of photography and has forgotten more than I will ever know but will always take the time to advise others to which I can personally attest.

So Photographers, if you wish to up-skill, models if you wish images where you will look your very best, book some time in with Barney - you won't regret it.

Great photoshoot

Absolute gentleman and has quite a history being a creative photographer. I helped him on a pre-arranged shoot for a client and he returned the favour by doing a spontaneous style to expand my portfolio. Highly recommended!
