Joe Low
PHOTOGRAPHER

I am a freelance photographer based in Southampton UK, undertaking architectural photography, public relations, special events, tourism and work within the arts. Although working as an all round freelance photographer, I specialize as an architectural photographer.

​

I graduated from Winchester School of Art with a BA in Fine Art, (first class honours). My art background informs my photography, where composition and timing are key to achieving successful images. In 1990 I was runner up in the Tectonic Architectural Photographer of the Year Award, two of the judges were architect Norman Foster and photographer Lord Patrick Litchfield, who was quoted of saying "I think Joe Low's got a very good eye".

​

I have established a substantial picture library of images taken in and around Southampton and Winchester which are available for purchase either for reproduction in brochures, magazines, leaflets or websites etc or as Giclee Prints for framing in the home or office.

​

Some of my clients have been:

The NHS, Associated British Ports,  BBC, British Gas, Denplan, Specsavers, Hampshire County Council, Southampton City Council, Mowlem, Highways Agency, Hampshire Cultural Trust, Hammerson plc, Southampton City Art Gallery and Winchester Cathedral, together with many others.

​

Since graduating from art school, I have continued to draw, and on occasion  have exhibited both my photography and drawings, (see below for the list).
