www.timsimpsonphotography.co.uk I shoot alternative, innovative and elegant reportage wedding photography.

These days I'm lucky enough to be able to most shoot automotive photography which enables be to pursue my interests in cars, bikes and scooters. I do love shooting weddings so it's something I will always do, I'm generally involved in around 6 wedding storys per year. I don't take influences from other wedding photographers - my style is unique and is inspired by art, fashion, film and advertising. Every wedding is as an artistic collaboration, its my job to bring our shared vision to life.

📸 Taking Better Product Photography With Your Mobile Phone
Did you know you don’t need expensive camera gear to create strong, professional product photos? I mean it helps but here's a guide on how to get pictures with the kit that you have.

For the past few years I’ve been delivering talks at the fantastic Business & IP Centre in Leeds, helping start-ups and small businesses improve their photography.

After some brilliant feedback, one thing kept coming up…

👉 “Can we actually try this out?”

So we expanded the sessions into hands-on workshops where the participants:

✔ Brought their own phone or camera
✔ Photographed their own products
✔ Learned how to use light and exposure properly (this is the game changer!)
✔ Improve composition and styling
✔ Get practical tips you can use straight away

Modern mobile phones are incredibly powerful — but understanding how to shape and control light makes all the difference between a quick snap and a strong, brand-building image.

For all the guidance and simple information on how to take better product photos with the kit you have and my course notes check out my blog post- https://www.tspstudios.co.uk/commercial-campaign/mobile-phone-product-photography

Because better product photography isn’t about fancy kit.

It’s about knowledge, confidence and seeing light differently.

🚗 A Fantasy Garage Shoot with Tom Hardman | TSP Studios

Just published a new blog post — and this one’s a beauty!
I recently photographed an incredible line-up of classic and collector cars for Tom Hardman in Clitheroe. His showroom honestly feels like a dream garage… except you can actually buy the cars inside!
Working in Tom’s custom on-site studio meant we captured high-end hero shots, cinematic details, and my favourite — car-to-car motion photography — all within tight timeframes. Really proud of the results.
Here are some of the stars from the shoot:
🔥 1926 Rally Grand Sport Type S (now sold)
🔥 1930 Aston Martin International S48
🔥 1967 Alfa Romeo 1600 Spider RHD
🔥 2013 Aston Martin Jet 2+2 — a one-of-one coachbuilt masterpiece, so ambitious it contributed to the collapse of Bertone. Estimated £5M+ by Autocar.
🔥 Marcos Martin — my personal favourite of the day!

Every car had its own personality, and bringing that out through lighting, angles, and motion is exactly why I love automotive photography.

If you love classic cars, rare machines, or top-tier automotive photography — you’ll enjoy this one!

These days my other photographic commitments with .studios allow me to only shoot a limited amount of weddings. If each of these weddings are as brilliant, enjoyable and friendly as Claire and Rory's day, I will be a very happy snapper.

To me, this is how weddings should be done. A lovely understated style (no ice sculptures or doves!), centred round family, friends, love and fun. Claire and Rory absolutely smashed 'getting married'.

Lots more images from this wonderful day on my blog.

I thought I'd show some of my light painting images from the last week and give you a heads up about more light painting next weekend.
Cars and light painting is something I'll be doing a bit more of soon and very much looking forward to.
The other images are from a workshop I gave in Oldham Libraries Art Gallery this weekend. This is just a small selection. Some of the images from the day will be hanging in the gallery in January as part of a show called 'The Light'. They will be hung with works from Tracy Emin, Martin Creed,Tony Heaton and a few more notable names.

If anybody would like to do any light painting I'm part of the 'THIS MUST BE THE PLACE' exhibition at the Open Eye Gallery Photohub this Sunday 17th Nov in Leigh. It's free but booking is essential as these events are always full.

Wearing my automotive photographers hat, I’m always excited when I get the chance to work with truly iconic machines and passionate individuals. Recently, I worked with Tom Hardman Limited on a photoshoot featuring an Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT at their HQ . My photographic happy place is definitely capturing design classics like this.

My blog post about the day with more images is here-

The Alfa is up for sale on the Tom Hardman Ltd website with loads of interesting history-
