Photography for brands, businesses, and individuals who understand that great images aren't a cost — they're an investment.
Oakes Studio was founded in 2012 by photographer James Oakes, with a single purpose: to make commercial photography that actually works. Not images that look good in a brief, but images that make people stop scrolling, click, and buy.
We work with brands, agencies, and individuals across the UK — from one-day headshot sessions to multi-day campaign shoots. Every project gets the same level of attention, regardless of size.
Tell us about your project — what you need, when, and what you're trying to achieve. We'll send a detailed quote within 24 hours.
We plan the shoot together — locations, shot list, styling, and logistics. No surprises on the day.
We arrive prepared, work efficiently, and create images that go beyond the brief. Every shoot includes a same-day edit preview.
Fully edited, high-resolution images delivered via private gallery within 5 working days. Ready to use immediately.
