Gemma Brunton is a UK-based photographer specialising in editorial, hospitality, travel and brand storytelling commissions. Her work is known for its human warmth and strong sense of atmosphere, creating images that feel both refined and alive.
Her commercial and editorial practice sits at the meeting point of portraiture, environment and visual storytelling. Whether photographing a hotel, destination, brand campaign or editorial feature, the aim is always to create images with character, clarity and emotional tone rather than generic polish.
Gemma is known for a calm and collaborative way of working, particularly in settings that require discretion, sensitivity and an understanding of premium environments. Her shoots are carefully directed without feeling over-managed, allowing images to retain ease, realism and a strong editorial style.
Her 12 year experience in commercial photography brings together editorial instinct and a calm, collaborative way of working. This combination allows her to move comfortably between product-led shoots, travel assignments, premium environments and portrait-based commissions, always with close attention to tone, detail and the overall standard of the final image set. She works across the UK and internationally on selected projects requiring discretion, professionalism and a thoughtful visual approach.
Working with people is a core passion for her however, and she has earned a reputation for inspiring confidence in front of the camera for the most unenthusiastic subject!
Connecting and understanding her clients is crucial to Gemma, and she works closely with you to deliver stylish, story-telling lifestyle imagery that elevates your brand and communicates meaningfully with your audience. Her photography is described as relatable and authentic with an emotive current running through it. Gemma is also able to offer videography and aerial (drone) photography and she is an Associate member of the Association of Photographers (AOP).
Gemma's award-winning portrait photography can be found at www.gemmabrunton.co.uk and among other accolades she is proud to have been shortlisted in the Sony World Photography Awards in 2021. She has been involved in several charity projects, including her pandemic portrait series Children of Salisbury - Life After Lockdown which received national attention.
