If you were at the January meeting of London Women Mean Business, you may have noticed a photographer in the room clicking away unobtrusively so that we could have a reminder of the evening. Thank you to Claire Swindale for agreeing to be our "official" photographer for the evening, we really appreciated it. Here's a little more info about Claire, and details of a special offer for LWMB.
Claire started her career in advertising as an Account Handler and Creative, her ultimate achievement being the design, implementation and launch of the first 5 years of Happy Meals and merchandising for McDonald's UK. Thereafter, whilst still in the world of advertising and media, for 8 years she concentrated on travelling the world with her backpack and camera. There was never a lightbulb moment, she always had a camera: Her talent and interest in photography simply grew.
Her decision to brave it into the freelance world was encouraged when she was part of the first wave of redundences at The Independent Newspaper nearly 3 years ago. She never looked back.
Claire currently has an exhibition at Tentazioni Restaurant in Shad Thames showcasing a selection of personal favourites and demonstrates her ease at capturing both beauty and finite details of her subjects and locations.
Claire's portfolio includes stills from the last 3 Rimmel London commercials, with a fourth pending ... an extensive library ... obviously travel (which expands from Europe, Africa, through to Asia, particularly her favourite, Nepal!) The place of smiley places and smiley faces! She also attends casual family gatherings and childrens parties, anniversaries, 'big' birthdays where clients can relax, have fun and laugh, whilst Claire captures the moment. Her studio work is really evolving and is shown off in her Beauty and The Basque category showing at Tentazioni.
From portraits, weddings, film commercials ... through to her art and her recently launched bespoke luxury wooden puzzles (view and purchase these via her website)... she is equally inspired!
Claire's ambition is to continue to enjoy the expansion of her business, which, she says does not feel like business at all but pure joy to be doing something that she loves so much. Visit her current portfolio on www.claireswindale.com and facebook 'Claire Swindale Photography' and become her friend ....... and see for yourself.
Claire’s offer to you is a studio session for headshots for your marketing material, whether it be for your website, Linked-In, Facebook etc .. she will supply you with a disc holding a variety of images in colour and black & white, for just £85.
