What it's like working together.

A handful of words from people Hector's Eye has shot for.

Front cover artwork for Katie Leone's album 'Prism of Light', portrait and brand photography by Hector's Eye
"I worked with Gareth when he agreed to do my portfolio shots to use as a professional singer and artist. I was extremely happy with the whole process from beginning to end: from the initial meeting to discuss my ideas to the final editing of my shots, Gareth took great care and interest in promoting the right image for my music and my personality. Like a great producer or director, he knows how to get the best out of his subject, whilst encouraging artistic integrity at the same time. He was full of great ideas and working with him was a fun and creative experience. I was over the moon with the shots."

Silhouetted award winner raising a trophy under a starlit ceiling at a corporate awards dinner, event photography by Hector's Eye for Aspermont UK
"Gareth, I just wanted to let you know how pleased and excited I am with your work at our event. Your photography provided us with a superb library of professional images from our exhibition and conference, and your eye for cover and editorial shots has given our designers some hard choices! Having previously taken our own 'in-house' photographs, we will stick with the professional from here on, a pleasure working with you, the process was very easy."

Porter & Davies BC2 rack unit product shot against a drum kit backdrop, brand storytelling photography by Hector's Eye
"Gareth has beautifully captured the beauty in our products, demonstrating great artistry and technique and a great use of depth to bring a piece of electronic equipment to life. I've been delighted with the first class service, and my product images have been imaginative and creative, whilst remaining focused and detailed, delivered quickly and in high quality. Nothing has been too much trouble and I can't recommend him enough."

Large team group portrait outside a London office for a B2B publisher, corporate portrait photography by Hector's Eye
"I couldn't recommend Gareth highly enough for portraits or people pictures. He can produce a group shot better than anyone I have worked with, and after 35 years in media, that's a lot of photographers. When I retired from my business, I didn't want a gold watch, but I did want a picture of the team I was leaving behind. In six shots, after grouping 40 people, he came up with pictures that exceeded my expectations. The composition was first rate and the quality was second to none. Couldn't be happier."

Black and white shot of a chef plating dishes in a professional kitchen, brand storytelling photography by Hector's Eye for Wyatt & Jones
"Professional and clear, we had a good first meeting with Gareth who had obviously done his research on our business and brand, understanding exactly what we wanted from the proposed portfolio. We needed quite a few different elements and Gareth was flexible and practical, putting together two different photo briefs: very pleased with the outcome and used the shots in our marketing, website and social media."

Wood-fired pizza with peppers, goat's cheese and basil on a branded GB Pizza Co. peel, food photography by Hector's Eye
"We had commissioned a lovely new website, but our Instagram snaps just didn't cut the mustard. It was time to get the professionals in. Despite the shoot taking place during a busy lunch, not only did Gareth get some really beautiful shots, he didn't get in the way once! The quality of the images speak for themselves and the price point was perfect."

Bright coastal apartment interior with sea view, dining and kitchen area, brand storytelling photography by Hector's Eye for My Seaside Luxury
"We always knew the success of securing bookings for our accommodation relied significantly on the quality of the photos, because essentially that is what people buy into. Gareth worked tirelessly under sometimes difficult conditions, but the end result was exactly what we were looking for: a lot of this was down to his hard work in ascertaining exactly what our requirements were and defining the brief as thoroughly as possible. We would highly recommend Gareth."

Hanging textile sculpture lit dramatically against a dark background, art documentation photography by Hector's Eye for Kat Hayes
"I used Gareth to document two of my London exhibitions. As an artist working with both textured canvases and sculpture, I felt it was important to work with someone who would be confident capturing 3D and the unique surfaces of each piece, rather than take a simple picture. Gareth surpassed my expectations and found a way to bring out the best in my work, even adding a new dimension to it."
