Oli Lees

Oli Lees, a commercial and editorial photographer and videographer based in Warwickshire. For over fifteen years has been making pictures for national clients, marketing and PR agencies, and the press — work that has to look good, land on time and do a job. Holding a First Class Honours degree in Commercial Photography from Arts University Bournemouth and a fully licensed and insured CAA drone operator.

Working across the Midlands and throughout the UK, and travel internationally when the job asks for it.

Commercial & editorial. Creative, dynamic portraiture and commercial imagery for websites, campaigns, annual reports and press. Business headshots and team portraits shot on location or in the studio, PR and press photography at short notice, and editorial features for national titles.

Industrial, construction & property. Progress photography and film for developers and contractors, utilities and infrastructure work, and finished property and commercial development imagery. I'm used to hi-vis, site inductions and tight windows, and I supply RAMS on request.

Agriculture & rural business. Farming, food and drink, estates and the rural economy — subjects I grew up around and understand from the inside. Authentic imagery for producers, agricultural brands and the trade press.

Fieldsports. A specialism few commercial photographers can offer. I document driven pheasant and partridge days, grouse moors and deer stalking for estates, shoot owners, sporting agents and private guns, including international guests. My work has been published in The Field and The Shooting Times, and I've covered everything from small walked-up days to Purdey Gold award-winning shoots. Handbound A3 leather photo books are available for private clients.

Video & drone. Corporate films, short-form social content and cinematic aerial footage, shot alongside the stills so your branding stays consistent across every channel.

Why clients book me

I work discreetly and quickly, in whatever conditions the day throws up — a live shoot, a working site, a factory floor, a remote hillside. Agencies get a photographer who understands a brief and a deadline; business owners, landowners and developers get someone who can plan the shoot, deliver the files and sort the licensing without fuss. Finished images and video arrive through a private online gallery, in high resolution for print and optimised for web and social.
