DAVID LONGSTAFFE CREATIVE
Established in 2006 and with a wealth of experience, David Longstaffe Creative is a commercial fashion photographer, portrait photographer and filming specialist.
Our experience includes coveted events such as London Fashion Week and high-profile projects in Liverpool, Manchester, London and UK wide.
We work with popular publications such as OK Magazine and Hello Magazine, producing images in medium format quality for double page features. David Longstaffe is accustomed to shooting celebrities such as:
Brian McFadden (Westlife)
Bill Roach (Coronation Street)
Laura Norton (Emmerdale)
Charlotte Dawson
Olivia Attwood Dack (Love Island, Olivia Meets Her Match)
Natalie Lowe (BBC Strictly Come Dancing)
Our approach to photographing television and media celebrities is a relaxed affair – we know discretion and privacy is important to you. More often than not, filming and house tours form part of the editorial commission. The resulting online content regularly achieves higher ratings than the printed publications.
NEW Magazine wanted an edgier final product, based on their own approach to celebrity photography. So, we photographed and filmed Molly Smith (Love Island, Influencer) and Callum Jones (Love Island) in their new Manchester home.
