Hey there, my name is Drew Forsyth, and I’m an award-winning portrait photographer and director, shooting for commercial and advertising clients in the UK and around the world.

My work is centred around individuals, groups, and organisations who have worked tirelessly and sacrificed greatly, in order to achieve extraordinary results. This focus has given me the rare privilege of collaborating with and working alongside some of the most fascinating people in the world, including performers from The Royal Ballet, Nobel Prize-winning scientists, entrepreneurs, titans of industry, and world leaders. My work has been featured on BBC News and has appeared in The Guardian, The Times, Rolling Stone, as well as The Royal Photographic Society.

As well as my professional practise, I’m an experienced public speaker, having delivered talks at conferences and events around the globe, including engagements for The Royal Photographic Society, Photo North, and Pas De Deux Photo, as well as guest lectures & workshops at the Universities of Bolton, Cumbria, Manchester, Salford, and Manchester School of Art.

I’m available for television and presenting work, as well as expert commentary in the fields of photography, freelancing, and the creative industries, and I’m an Accredited Photographer with the AOP - the Association of Photographers, as well as a Fellow of the RSA - the Royal Society for the Arts.

When I’m not working, I love to travel, and experience other cultures. Inevitably I take my camera, and whilst I love taking the shots, the images don’t quite fit into my commercial or portrait portfolio… but I’d still like to share them with you — so you can take a look right here.

I shoot all over the world, but I mostly split my time between the North West of England and London. You can reach me via email at drew@drewforsyth.com or by phone at +44 (0) 7791 425 591. I take my coffee black, my beer cold, and my passport ready.
