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

Your direction, the way you put people at ease before you've even raised the camera

And in a world where people are increasingly asking themselves “Is this AI?”, 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

That's where I come in

I photograph working photographers on set or on location - quietly, unobtrusively, and with a genuine understanding of what's happening in front of me

The result is a set of images that shows the real you, doing what you do best, that you can use across your website, social media, and anywhere else you need to build trust with prospective clients

About Me

I'm Catherine - an on-set photographer based in Sevenoaks, working across London and the South East of England.

Before moving into photography, I spent years planning national TV campaigns, working with shifting production deadlines and the always-on realities of the broadcast industry. I understand how images are used once a project is out in the world - what makes something scroll-stopping, what works on a streaming thumbnail, what tells a story at a glance.

That same instinct is what I bring to photographing other photographers. I know how to work quietly in someone else's space. I know how to anticipate a moment without interrupting it. And I know that the best BTS images aren't staged - they're caught.

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.

  • No. I work the same way on a photographer's set as I do on a film set - quietly, at the edges, and only where I'm not disrupting anything. Your client's experience always comes first.

  • 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’m about to offer behind the scenes clips alongside the stills sessions. If you'd like to be among the first to hear about it - and get an early doors discount - just get in touch.

  • 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.
