Born and raised outside of London, Callum was originally planning to study Graphic Design but was placed mistakenly placed in a Photography class. This twist of fate led to Callum moving to London to study Photography at the London College of Fashion and everything that came after. During his studies, Callum discovered that his grandfather was an avid photographer in the late 60’s and early 70's and had a huge archive of amazing images. His exploration of these images cemented Callum's love for the medium and this newfound family thread, through time, guided Callum to centering his graduate project around mixing their imagery to create a universal visual language of both eras that felt authentic to all of the subjects that were included.
Callum shoots a mix of film and digital for both Photo and Video. Working in the darkroom on his personal and editorial film projects has allowed him to develop the principal characteristics of his imagery. His work is best defined by his use of natural lighting, composition and color. There is a gentle softness throughout that brings a sense of calm and depth to each image regardless of the subject. With an emphasis on making his subjects feel comfortable, Callum captures moments that feel both effortless and evocative, balancing gentle tones with rich contrasts to create images that feel natural yet refined.
Callum is based between NYC and London
