Hire a Photographer – Bristol / Bath / Wiltshire / Somerset
Welcome to SWNS Images. We are a national, award winning, photographic media agency. You'll see hundreds of our photographs in the national press each day. However, we also undertake work on behalf of numerous private clients across a range of projects. We will not be beaten in terms of quality, and our prices are extremely competitive (we set the industry standard).
Although we are a national business with offices spanning the UK, we very much have the feel of a local company. Our headquarters are in Bristol, which is where it all started over 50 years ago. Our Bristol office staff photographers cover Greater Bristol, Bath, Wiltshire, Somerset, and the surrounding areas. All other areas in the UK are covered by our other local offices, but wherever you are based, we can help.
If you require any of the following services at competitive prices, we can send one of our trained, award-winning photographers out to you at your convenience:
- Corporate and Business Headshots;
- Corporate and Business Event Photography;
- PR, Brochure, or Website Photography;
- Corporate, Advertising, Social Media or Website Videography;
- Full Editing, Storage and Picture Management Facilities.

Working across a range of industries, often with tight deadlines, the flexibility and responsiveness of SWNS is paramount to keeping our projects moving. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending SWNS – friendly, approachable and very easy to work with.
