Testimonials

  • Ed is a great photographer. It was a real pleasure working with him across multiple events. He delivered on brief and beyond, the quality and energy of the images were excellent. Communication up to and during the event left us at ease and able to focus on everything else, while being sure we'd get exactly what we needed from Ed. Would highly recommend, and hope to work with him again!

  • Ed is a very talented photographer who has produced beautiful, iconic photos for our charity that we use over and over again. He fits seamlessly and sensitively into any setting and always manages to produce exactly what we need - and more.

    — Brunswick Organic Nursery York

  • Ed has a lightness about him that makes me and others feel instantly comfortable. He brings humour and kindness to his work, and that’s why I find his photographs so genuine. What I see in them is a sense of openness in both the surroundings and the people within them.

    — Previous customer

  • Ed Clews is a fabulous photographer of people in their own environment. I have always found him to be empathetic with clients/subjects. He is skilled, not just as a technical photographer, but also at getting the best results by putting people at ease in front of the camera.
