About
I’m Isaac, a unit stills photographer based in the UK. I grew up on the Welsh coast, spending my days exploring the rugged landscapes of Pembrokeshire with friends. Those adventures, combined with a family history of photography, naturally drew me to documenting the world around me and set me on my creative path.
Over the years, I explored a range of photographic genres, from wildlife to extreme sports, but I struggled to find my true niche. Initially, I dreamed of documenting the achievements of people in outdoor sports such as climbing and surfing. Yet the pull between participating and photographing the moment proved too strong, as my love for photography only rivalled my love for the outdoors, especially the ocean. This realisation came during a surf trip in Indonesia, where I spent time reflecting on my future and my passion for photography.
That trip inspired me to broaden my photographic experience by studying photography at university. After researching courses across the UK, I chose the Institute of Photography at Falmouth University, where I graduated with a degree in Documentary and Editorial Photography.
My time at Falmouth proved transformative. It was there that I discovered my niche in unit stills and behind-the-scenes photography. My first experiences on set confirmed what I had been searching for: a fast-paced, collaborative environment where I could combine storytelling, observation, and technical skill to capture the atmosphere and artistry of film production.
Since then, I have continued to develop my craft across a variety of professional productions, most recently completing work as Principal Unit Stills Photographer on a professional feature film. Working closely with directors, producers, cast, and crew has deepened my understanding of the filmmaking process and strengthened my ability to create compelling imagery that serves both the production and its wider audience.
Here’s what Enrico Artuso, producer, had to say about working together:
"Working with you was a great experience: you were lovely on set, always at hand when needed but also out of the way enough for the crew to do their jobs. The pictures were absolutely lovely: a great mix of candids, BTS, and character shots that perfectly captured the mood of the film. Both Alessandro (Director) and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with you again."
My goal is to continue building a career in film and television, creating stills that not only document a production but also help tell its story. Whether working on independent productions, television projects, or feature films, I am passionate about capturing the moments that happen both in front of and behind the camera.
I’m always open to collaborating on new projects, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch, I’d love to hear about what you’re working on.
