About
Claire Pepper is a photographer based in London shooting sports and lifestyle imagery for brands and advertising.
Her photographs draw on a passion for the outdoors and the active life, influenced by fashion and street photography.
An attentive yet relaxed style; and a commitment to diversity and representation both within her images and behind the scenes; results in work that is refreshing, joyful and empowering.
Capturing movement brilliantly, Claire produces elegant compositions and has an ability to make her subjects look their sporting best. Through a deep technical and cultural knowledge of her subject, she wants to inspire others to enjoy exercise and the benefits of an outdoor lifestyle.
Her work is held in the permanent collections of the National Portrait Gallery and the Palace of Westminster.
