Commercial & Studio Photography

Selected work by Deanne Ward

Commercial and fine-art photographer specialising in creative lighting, natural expression and visual storytelling.

My work encompasses creative studio imagery, branded lifestyle campaigns, portraiture and product photography. I combine technical precision with a thoughtful, collaborative approach to create photographs that are both visually engaging and commercially effective.

Product & Lifestyle Photography

A studio study exploring three approaches to photographing a soft toy: clean ecommerce presentation, styled lifestyle imagery and close-up product detail. Each image uses a different approach to lighting and composition while maintaining a consistent visual identity.

Children & Lifestyle Photography

Creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment is central to my approach when photographing children. I enjoy capturing spontaneous expressions and genuine connections, while using thoughtful composition and natural light to create engaging, story-led imagery.

These photographs demonstrate two different approaches: an informal studio portrait capturing a moment of laughter between two children, and a gently styled outdoor portrait inspired by a classic children's story.

Commercial Campaigns & Product Photography

Commercial photography created for branded campaigns and product-focused social media content.

My work for Skechers BOBS and Woodgreen combines footwear, people and rescue animals, balancing product visibility with authentic storytelling. I have also created dedicated product imagery for an equestrian influencer promoting Stierna clothing and Hirzl gloves, using creative composition to highlight garments and accessories.

Creative Studio Photography

My fine art studio photography explores the relationship between light, form and expression. Working with carefully controlled multi-light setups, I create images that emphasise texture, detail and sculptural qualities.

These photographs demonstrate my approach to lighting design, composition and detailed post-production, combining technical precision with a distinctive fine-art aesthetic.
