ABOUT ME

It’s not about me… It’s about you and what I can do for you!

I’M SO PASSIONATE AND I’VE BEEN TAKING PICTURES EVER SINCE I CAN REMEMBER… BLAH, BLAH, BLAH

I Know What You’re Thinking…

Not another boring about me bio page just like all the other photographers, videographers & content creators out there, telling you how "passionate" they are about photography and video

…that’s not what you’re here about, is it?

You’re here because you want to know if I’m the best photographer to help you with your visual content.

“YOU CAN’T THROW A STICK IN THE AIR WITHOUT IT LANDING ON ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPHER OR VIDEOGRAPHER“

If you’re like me, you’ll appreciate the effort that goes into finding dependable services. You value genuine experiences, and above all, you want the best for you and your business, brand or portfolio!

The problem, though, is there are literally millions of photographers & videographers to choose from, and just about every one of them has different styles, prices, services, abilities, promises and experiences.

And with pretty much everyone on the planet owning a camera these days, how do you go about finding who’s the right professional for you?

Why me, why not?

You’re dedicated and driven; you put in the hours and make sacrifices every day to be successful in what you do.

I get it because I’m the same. I’m a full-time professional photographer & videographer running a business, which can be hard work.

You don’t want to be awake at night worrying about if you’ve enough clients. You want to make a fair living, enjoy nice things, and spend quality time with your family. So, of course, I understand how passionate you feel about whatever it is you do.

And just like you, I want to attract and work with the kind of people that feel the same way, too.

We may have different professions, but we’re still working towards achieving our goals, and with that in mind, you’ll want someone who is authentic, focused and has a proven record of providing a professional service for what you need.

For example, if you’re nervous in front of the camera or hate seeing yourself in photos or on video (don’t worry, you’re not alone!), you’ll want someone friendly who listens to your needs and can coach you through the process with confidence.

You’ll need someone you can trust to understand your pain points and be qualified to create consistently high-quality imagery that’s right for you and the audience you want to connect with.

My promise is to ensure that you remember how much you enjoyed working with me, just as much as receiving and using your new visual content.

Authentic Approach

“I approach my work with the ethos that photography & video production is more than just turning up, pointing and shooting. It’s about being dependable, connecting with people, understanding your story brand and building trust.

It’s about understanding light, composition, colour and style; it’s about understanding equipment and its capabilities to create or extend your vision.

Ultimately, it’s about sharing your story and creating imagery that is consistent and on-brand for you and your audience”

What AI Says About Me!

So, I asked AI (ChatGPT) a question about what AI knows about me – It’s a little scary!

“You’re a commercial photographer & videographer involved in various initiatives and projects. You support a men’s bereavement charity, demonstrating your commitment to meaningful causes.”

“You have a natural ability to connect with people on both a personal and professional level, and this shines through in everything you do—from your photography to how you approach teaching and community building. You’re not just providing a service; you’re creating meaningful experiences, whether helping a small business tell its story visually, coaching entrepreneurs to improve their visual content, or fostering connections through networking events.”

“Your thoughtful approach to milestones, like celebrating reviews or planning courses, suggests you value results and the relationships and impact behind them. You’re intensely community-oriented and seem to thrive when you see others succeed because of something you’ve contributed.”

“You’re intensely community-oriented and seem to thrive when you see others succeed because of something you’ve contributed.”

Interesting stuff! But what do you think? Does this sound like me?

What You Say About Me!

“…We read all about Graham on his website an instantly felt he could be the right fit for us…”

“…I was lost for words when the photos came through. They surpassed all my expectations and have allowed me to move forward rapidly to the next phase of promoting my business and feeling so much more confident about the image that I am putting out into the public arena.

I cannot recommend Graham Baker Photography enough. The proof is in the pudding!”

“…Use him now before he becomes a world famous photographer!”

Rated 5 out of 5

“…would highly recommend if you are an entrepreneur looking for a professional portrait…”

“…I did feel nervous at the start of the session but Graham was great and immediately put me at ease, talking me through each stage. He is very calm, friendly and approachable and great to work with, always checking in with me to make sure I was ok. I received my final images from Graham within the advised time frame and they are fantastic.

They are exactly what we were wanting to achieve and I am so pleased with them. I have so many images to choose from and I can’t wait to get them on my new website and also start using them on social media. They are really going to help promote me and my business and the style of the images have really allowed my personal branding to shine through.

I highly recommend Graham to anyone who is looking to get professional branded photographs done for themselves and their business. It was an absolute pleasure working with him…”

MY REASONS WHY...

OK, a few quickfire loves, values, likes and thoughts (of my own and from my family & friends) that make up the purpose of me…

Family and friends come first.

Summited Kala Patthar and reached Mt Everest Base Camp in 1994. Then, 30 years later, almost to the day, I summited Mt Kilimanjaro 2024

I don’t watch mainstream news or read newspapers, yet I still know what’s happening worldwide!

Strong Belgium beers & dark chocolate are a perfect way to bribe me!

I don’t watch reality shows. Real life is so much more enjoyable!

I always set intentionally high standards for myself and am watchful of the details; I am organised, dependable, and adaptable.

Humility, loyalty, and honesty are what I respect most about a person.

Sci-fi Movie Geek, but still happy to watch ‘Love Actually’ with the Mrs!

Stoicism for modern life.

17 years as a MET Police Officer taught me about the positives and negatives of human nature.

I run for my mindset as much as it is for my fitness.

Strive to be thoughtful and take the time to understand your needs.

Anything and everything to do with photography, video and growing businesses.

If you don’t take care of yourself first, you’ve nothing to give the ones you love.
