Craig Holmes is an award winning photographer based in the Midlands, who predominantly photographs architecture, property and cities for a wide variety of clients.
Subjects photographed include commercial & public properties, showhomes, retail buildings, regeneration schemes, new developments, and restaurants.
Recently, Craig has completed a book on architecture for the Royal Institute of British Architects (not only photographing much of the contents, but also acting as Picture Editor, and advising on the visual structure of the book). A similar book has also been produced by the BBC documenting a history of their Pebble Mill building, again photographed by Craig. Previously, he has also completed four books on restaurants and their interiors (two of which have won Newspaper Awards).
Using the absolute latest in camera and computer equipment, Craig has built a reputation for providing high levels of customer service, with a fast turnaround of quality imagery for clients.
Apart from the architectural commissions, over the previous ten years, Craig has built a collection of images from the Birmingham area, which are now available for licensing. These images can be viewed at www.imagesofbirmingham.co.uk, and provide a complimentary service to clients wishing to commission architectural photography, but also display city images in a brochure or web site for example.
