GARDEN PHOTOGRAPHY

As a garden photographer working across London, the Home Counties and further across the UK, I regularly collaborate with designers, landscape architects and brands to document gardens with a considered approach to light, colour and detail.

I have a deep appreciation for gardens and the skill, creativity and vision behind them, and my role is to capture that work in a way that does it justice and allows it to be clearly seen and shared. My photography focuses on structure and planting, and how a space comes together as a whole as well as in detail.

Seeing a garden for the first time and then photographing it at its best for my clients is still one of the most rewarding parts of the job.

I provide garden imagery for use across portfolios, websites and marketing. Commissions range from close planting detail and hard landscaping to wider contextual views, depending on the needs of the project. Examples include:

  • Public & Private Gardens

  • Editorial Features

  • Garden Design & Landscape Construction

  • RHS Shows & Other Garden Events

  • Nurseries & Flower Farms

  • Garden Products

FLORISTRY PHOTOGRAPHY

Floristry photography for UK businesses, creating refined imagery for portfolios, websites, social media and brand campaigns. I work with florists and studios to photograph arrangements with careful attention to colour, texture and composition, ensuring each arrangement is represented accurately and at its best.

Working from a studio, your place of business, or on location, I photograph a range of work, from individual bouquets to large-scale installations and event floristry. Each commission is approached with the same considered eye for detail and natural use of light, resulting in elevated and stylish imagery.

Commissions include:

  • Bouquets, Wreaths, Garlands

  • Large Installation Displays

  • Wedding Floral Setups

  • Events

  • Advertising Campaigns

THE PROCESS

  • Use my contact form or email me at info@marinawalker.co.uk with some initial details about your brand, project requirements or brief and I will get back to you to discuss more, with the option of a chat over the phone/Zoom if helpful.

  • Once I’ve understood your shoot requirements, I will email over a free quote for the shoot inclusive of post-processing time. My rate for each project is determined based on its unique requirements and duration. I work on an hourly basis for small/very local jobs, with half-day and full-day rates available for more comprehensive commissions.

    If you're happy to proceed, I’ll send over a short agreement to confirm the booking.

  • We will organise a convenient date for your shoot. It's sometimes helpful to have a few alternate days available in case of bad weather. If a pre-shoot location scout is required, we can organise that too.

    Generally, I want to be shooting at golden hour (just after sunrise or just before sunset) to get the best light. You don't necessarily need to be there, just allow me access to arrive at an agreed time.

    During the lead up we can confirm what shots are required and I can answer any further questions you may have so you feel best prepared.

  • By this point we will have planned the overall vision and outcome for the shoot. So allow me to make the shoot day stress-free and enjoyable for everyone involved!

  • After the shoot, I will go back and begin selecting the best shots of the session. I will edit all suitable shots from the day and deliver Hi-res and Web-size fully colour managed files in the required formats via a secure private gallery.
