01 — About
Behind the lens.
By day I work for Ford Motor Company. Outside of that world I built The Bailey Perspective — what started as a hobby became a passion, and eventually a discipline. I specialise in automotive, concert, event, portrait, family, documentary and community storytelling — always with the same intent: to make an image feel like the moment itself. I was honoured to be invited aboard the Goodyear Blimp for a flight over London — an invitation-only experience enjoyed by very few people, and one that gave me the chance to capture a perspective almost no photographer ever sees. It remains one of the most memorable milestones of this journey so far.

Signature experience
The Goodyear Blimp Experience
In 2026 I was invited by Goodyear to fly on their legendary blimp and photograph the world from a perspective almost no one gets to see. It's one of only a handful of blimps still flying — and the images from that flight remain some of my proudest work.
One of very few photographers ever invited on board — and among the images I'm proudest to share.

05 — FAQ
Frequently
asked.
Everything I get asked most often — from areas covered and turnaround times to insurance and licensing. Can't see your question? Get in touch.
What areas do you cover?
I'm based in Kent and cover the whole of Kent, London and the South East as standard. Travel further afield across the UK (and abroad) is available on request — just mention the location when you enquire.
How much do you charge?
Every shoot is quoted individually because no two are the same. Send a message with what you have in mind and I'll come back with a tailored quote.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekends and events, four to eight weeks is ideal. Weddings and larger productions book further out. Last-minute enquiries are always worth sending — I keep some slots open for short-notice work.
How long until I receive my photos?
Portrait, family and automotive galleries are delivered within 7–14 days. Larger events and weddings are typically 3–4 weeks. You'll receive a private online gallery to download the full-resolution images from.
Do you edit / retouch the photos?
Yes — every delivered image is hand-edited for colour, tone and light in my signature cinematic style. Additional retouching (skin, object removal, composites) can be added on request.
Are you insured?
Yes — I carry full public liability and professional indemnity insurance, and can supply documentation for venues, promoters or brand clients on request.
Do you shoot in bad weather?
Absolutely. Overcast light, rain and low sun often produce the most cinematic frames. If conditions are genuinely unsafe we'll reschedule at no extra cost.
Can I use the photos on social media / for my business?
Personal social use is included with every gallery. Commercial licensing (brand campaigns, print advertising, resale) is quoted separately — just let me know the intended use up front.
What's the Goodyear Blimp shoot about?
In 2026 I was invited by Goodyear to fly on their airship and photograph London from the air — a rare piece of access very few photographers get. You can see the full set on the /blimp page.
