About Cliff Barden

"Since studying photography at Nottingham Trent University I have worked as a freelance photographer, specializing in editorial portraiture and location photography.

I have photographed numerous people of differing backgrounds including government ministers, violinists, surgeons and train drivers. Many of my assignments have been in ‘technically tricky’ commercial and industrial locations such as store interiors and underground stations. I also regularly photograph cars and other vehicles, ranging from motorcycles to heavy trucks, on location, requiring both static and tracking shots. My commissions have not been confined to the UK, having undertaken assignments in Chile, Cuba, New England and EU countries.

I am used to working as a team with art directors, designers and journalists. However, I am often sent on jobs on my own and expected to use my own judgement and initiative in coming up with an appropriate creative solution. This entails going into situations that I have not experienced before and obtaining photographs of a quality suitable for reproduction in magazines. For the last five years I have used digital cameras and am fully conversant with digital imaging technology and delivering images to clients in a digital format.

My professional clients include: Haymarket Business Publications, Emap MacClaren, Dennis Publishing, Miller Freeman Publishing, Andersen Consulting (Accenture), The Sunday Telegraph Magazine, The Caravan Club Magazine, The Grocer Magazine, The Food and Drink Federation, Tubelines and SPAR."
