About.

                             is shaped by two distinct but connected ways of working.

Mandeville is outward-looking — creating visually rich, considered portraits of people and place for editorial and commercial clients.  STUDIO is more reflective — driven by a desire to explore ideas through project work.

Two sides of the same coin: light and dark, pulp and pip.

Founded after more than a decade of experience across high-end studio and location shoots — working with some of the UK’s most accomplished creative teams and brands — I now combine commissioned work with concept-led art projects, often realised through team-led collaboration.

Services are boutique and scale to fit your project or brief — please get in touch.  For STUDIO news, works, exhibitions, and print sales, sign up below.

Testimonials

'I chose to work with Claire because I felt that she understood me instantly –which was Key, particularly with an upcoming exhibition.

Her work, indeed, captured my intense yet playful spirit, and several observers have confirmed it.  She was thorough and patient throughout the shoot, helping me relax. The quality of her lighting and staging were outstanding, imparting a refined commercial aesthetic, which I needed.'

'We wanted professional photos to showcase both our home and our business, and Claire exceeded our expectations. She is meticulous with an elegant visual style that brings out the best in our space. Her ability to capture the atmosphere—and that magical Mexican light—was very apparent. The results are stunning, and we are delighted.'

'Claire has worked with us a few times, and we are always happy to do so.  Claire is helpful and knowledgeable, and she and her team at Mandeville are experts at understanding how to achieve high-quality results.  We are delighted with the Insafe Showroom Video they produced for us, and the Team Headshots are a great success. No one likes having their photo taken, but Claire made the process enjoyable and relaxing for All –we are very pleased with the results.'

Alan Bullock, Insafe

‘Claire has worked with us for several years now and it is always great to have her on our shoots. She is an expert in her field working closely with our photographer and guiding junior photo assistants on set. She understands what it takes to get the job done and is very helpful across the wider production team.   Claire is friendly and upbeat and helps us create the team spirit we need on long and busy shoots. She works in a proactive and pre-emptive way reading situations with emotional intelligence.’

Jo Hawkins, Marketing Director, Regatta Clothing

‘The first time I worked with Claire was when my usual 1st assistant had to pull out of a very busy 5 day shoot at the last minute. In came Claire to take over. Not only did she do a great job from a technical point of view with cameras and lighting but her reliability, dedication, forward planning and thinking about the job as a whole, was also very apparent. She was quick to integrate herself with my established team and since then has very much become part of that team. Claire was my goto first assistant on all my major shoots.’
