Chris Ball

My freelance photography career began after working as a retoucher for an ad agency. I've always had a passion for portrait photography, and this led to me landing various and a variety of ad campaigns for the likes of Mercedes Benz, Petronas, ITV, Sony, and the odd celebrity portraits such as Adele.

My portrait work is versatile and merges into shooting for ad campaigns, and I'm equally at home on location or in the studio. I'm very energetic on a shoot because I get a real buzz when I capture a great shot.

I've also fully produced and shot several ad campaigns, such as a worldwide campaign for Petronas Lubricants. The client trusted me just to get the job done without any fuss, and I pride myself on being very proactive when it comes to planning.

I also have a great ability to connect with people, and with my personality on set, I feel this shows through to the final images as everybody is at ease.

I also work alongside production companies shooting stills for TVC's for use on social, websites, OOH billboards, and POS, and because of my experience of working on large campaigns, I have the confidence to work alongside creative and art directors in steering the shoot in the right direction.

Most campaign and portrait work I shoot tethered using Capture One Pro, and have the ability for the client to observe the shoot and choose the images remotely should they wish to. All colour grading is done in Capture One Pro, and post-editing is done in Adobe Photoshop.
