Artist Presentation - Kevin Greenfield photographer

Kevin Greenfield is a commercial photographer based in Selkirk,  in the Scottish Borders. He began his career in London,  working as a runner (making tea etc) and eventually progressed as a camera man doing film making. As well as doing film, he also worked part-time in a camera shop to earn more money to buy his equipment.  Kevin liked photography and film making because it gave him the chance to travel. He moved to North Wales and began studying at university, where he managed to get onto a degree course. Throughout his time at University,  he found inspiration from past photographer's such as, Henri Cartier-Bresson and William Eggleston. After university,  he returned to London to work on film and advance on his photography, This then led to him working as a full-time phographer. Kevin travelled around the world with his work but works more locally now that he has a family.
Kevin has a Studio space at, the Haining in Selkirk where he works on his film and photography.  He also does " corporate reportage " where he photographs meetings,  business presentations and advertising for local companies such as Waverly Housing. He has also taken photographs of the Minister at a business opening,  advertising a mountain biking company and kayaking. He also works alongside charities some include:  Scottish cross country race, Rock climbing and the elderly in an care home.
More recently,  Kevin has been doing food and beverage photography, where he works mainly inside his studio avoiding the use of natural light to prevent unnecessary reflections in any glass. Aswell as that,  he also provides images for companies including,  Orwell and Goode,  Linda Lovatt and Hawick Cashmere to promote their stock. In some cases he needs to digitally manipulte some images or combined a few different images to reach the desired effect. He uses 3 main lights while photographing in his studio: the main light for shadow and light, a fill light and a backlight. He has also photographed art works by local Artists including Mary Morrison and John Berry.
Kevin has spent time taking photographs of interiors for advertising and worked at many weddings.  His favourite part about wedding photography is meeting new people,  he describes how working on your own can become quite lonely,  so it is good to take part in weddings.
More recently,  Kevin has been perfecting his work in glass photography for some of his clients.
I found Kevin to be very dedicated to his work with a passion for all that he does. He has a wide range of experience and knowledge about techniques,  styles  and expectations of an image. I was amazed at the quality of the photos he showed us, I would definitely recommend him for any photography work. He also has an email address where he can be contacted -
