About JP Professional Photography

Before becoming a published photographer I gained experience photographing portraits while employed by JCPenny Portrait Studios which is part of Life Touch Studios in the USA. I also earned my certification from Motophoto Franchise Corporation in Portrait, Management, Business Operations and Basic Technical Training in 2004. You can see some of my recently published work as seen below, in Your East Midlands Wedding Magazine, Retro Gamer Magazine, GamesTM and Insider East Midlands.
After closing the professional lab due to changes from print to digital formats, I changed career paths to pursue my other love, advertising and marketing. Working in some of the best U.S. telecommunication and media companies as a Business Account Executive in the Philadelphia area and Upstate New York. Although I loved helping other small to medium sized business owners, I couldn't stay away from photography and continued to work as a photographer and by referral only.

In 2012 I moved from the United States to Derbyshire England where my wife is from. Since starting a new life on the other side of the pond, I decided to pursue JP Professional Photography full time. My true passion is commercial and food photography. Therefore I have officially shifted my business and focus on serving businesses with their advertising and promotional efforts through photography. Especially since it's important to include photographs as a part of building and explaining your company's brand.
My marketing background puts me in the perfect position to help businesses convey a story or idea to their potential and existing customers. I believe that it's best to hire a photographer that understands why or how they will impact your business with the photographs taken. Rather than hiring a person that just knows how to snap a photo.
When I'm not working you can find me drinking coffee, spending time with my family, traveling and geeking out with video games. Admittedly I am terrible at playing video games. But I play a mean game of Dr. Mario and Call of Duty.
