Behind-the-scenes sessions for photographers

Check Availability

Show your clients exactly how you work

For anyone who works with people (or animals)

If you shoot weddings, portraits, brand, families, headshots, events, commercial…. this is for you

You know better than anyone how much goes into a great shoot

The way you put people at ease before you've even raised the camera

And in a world where AI makes everyone question what they’re seeing, showing yourself at work becomes an advantage rather than a nice-to-have

If your clients can’t see you, they're just taking your word for it

A woman wearing glasses, a blue shirt, and a leopard-print skirt is taking a photograph with a camera in front of exposed brick walls and colourful artwork. A bearded man sitting at a computer desk is smiling, with greenery in the foreground.

“As a photographer, it’s so hard to capture what you do as well as capture your client or subject matter!

Having Catherine at the session meant I didn’t have to think about setting up a second camera, using a self timer etc.

And I am delighted with the gallery of photos that Catherine shared with me afterwards.”

-Jo Fisher, Bloom Fabulous Photography

I photograph photographers at work, quietly and out of the way

You get photos and short video clips of you doing your thing for your website, socials, and wherever clients check you out

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Anyone who works with people (or animals!) - portrait, wedding, brand, family, headshot. If your process and personality are part of what you're selling, BTS content will work for you.


  • Not really, although you must have a client (or a model) who is happy to be featured in your images. Ideally, we’ll have a call ahead of the session (or a coffee if you’re local), and I'll ask a few questions to understand how you work and how you intend to use the final images. Beyond that, just shoot as you normally would - the less you perform for me, the better the images.

  • I do this on film sets - your shoot will be an oasis of calm by comparison. But your client's experience always comes first, so I‘m more fly on the wall than Uncle Bob muscling in on your work.

  • Yes. The session fee includes a personal and commercial usage licence, allowing you to use the images on your website, social media, print materials, and in any paid advertising.

  • Clients are increasingly sceptical. AI-generated imagery has made it harder to take a portfolio at face value, and photographers who can show their real process - real shoots, real people, real moments - have a significant advantage over those who can't. Authentic BTS content isn't a nice-to-have any more. It's becoming part of how trust is established before a booking is even made.

  • Yes!

    I capture short behind-the-scenes clips during the stills sessions.

  • I’m based in Sevenoaks, Kent, but available to work in London and across south east England. I can travel further afield. Please email me on hello@catherinestratford.co.uk to start the conversation.

    Session fees include travel within 20 miles of TN13. Mileage outside this area is charged at 45per mile or the appropriate rail fare.
