David Handley

I am a long established and award-winning photographer specialising in children and baby fashion with 30 years experience in the industry.

Past merits include the title ‘Sony World Fashion Photographer’ and recently awards by PDN Exposure Award, OneEyeland Awards, Aesthetica Art Prize, Arte Laguna Prize, London International Creative Competition and International Photographer of the Year.

My client list includes Ralph Lauren, Marks & Spencer, Boden, Next, White Company and John Lewis, shooting campaigns, brochures and advertising.

Experience, lighting and patience with children are amongst my greatest assets, allowing me to capture outstanding, natural pictures of children and babies.

"Working with children is very unpredictable, energetic and fun, which makes it very rewarding. I love working with kids, in fact I used to be one".

Projects include, ‘Best Friends Forever’, following a boy and a penguin as they go about their daily life. Told in the style reminiscent of Magical Realism, it has received much recognition and acclaim.

More recently I have photographed musicians, bands and architecture, being shortlisted for the Architecture & Interiors Spotlight Award.

Additionally I have lectured at Central St Martins University of Arts in London and run an online course teaching people how to improve their skills at photographing children and babies.
