Professional Photographer
Award winning Simon Burt is one of Cornwall’s leading contemporary Photographers, who is respected by his peers, colleagues and clients. His specialities are corporate shoots, wedding photography and underwater imagery.
Simon Burt’s portfolio demonstrates his unique and inspirational style of photography, which has continued to be refined over the 20 years he has worked as a professional photographer.
Best known for his expert technical ability and distinctive use of lighting, Simon produces glamorous and dramatic portraits as well as versatile commercial shoots, proving his extensive skill in engaging with his subjects. In contrast, his marine portfolio gives us a snapshot of the wildness of the underwater world at its most colourful and vibrant. As a professional photographer, Simon displays great natural ability when combining the many technical and creative elements necessary for producing such memorable images.
Perhaps one of Simon’s most iconic wedding images is that of a young baby sitting barefoot on the stone floor of a church aisle, with his 1940s-style trouser braces hanging loosely, and his father’s hand gently resting on his head. The image shows Simon’s passion for photography and illustrates how he skilfully captures tender moments with spontaneity. It’s an example that epitomises the unique style of this professional photographer.
