Photography for Schools, Colleges and Universities

I work with schools, colleges and universities across Berkshire, London and the South East, providing professional photography for websites,

prospectuses and wider marketing campaigns.


Whether it's capturing students enjoying lessons, practical learning and campus life, or showcasing the facilities, staff and opportunities that make each institution different, my aim is to create a library of natural, engaging photographs that help bring your school, college or university to life.


I've worked with a wide range of educational institutions, including Westminster School, Kingston Grammar School, East Surrey College, Milton Keynes College, Central Bedfordshire College, Queen Anne's School in Reading and Southampton University.


My photographs are regularly used across:

Prospectuses • Websites • Advertising Campaigns • PR • Newsletters • Signage • Social Media


I also photograph events such as speech days, results days, drama productions, awards evenings and strategy launches.

 These provide great opportunities to capture the people, achievements and experiences that make each institution unique, whilst creating valuable content for ongoing marketing and communications.


My Experience and Process

Having worked in marketing before becoming a photographer, including with brands such as Coca-Cola, Whitbread and Disney, I understand how important it is to have a strong library of professional images that can be used across different marketing channels.

Whether you're looking to attract prospective students, showcase your facilities or simply refresh your existing photography, I can help you create a collection of images that reflects the character of your school, college or university.

Before the shoot, we'll discuss your objectives and agree a shot list to make the best use of our time on the day. I'll work with you to capture a mix of natural, candid photographs of students learning, interacting and enjoying their surroundings, along with images of staff, facilities and the wider campus or school environment.

I'm used to working in busy educational settings and understand the importance of keeping disruption to a minimum. My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive, helping students and staff feel comfortable in front of the camera whilst making sure we capture the photographs you need.


I have a current DBS check.

Client Testimonials

"Pennie is a pleasure to work with – organised, efficient and professional. When required, she directed and guided staff and students well – and made the most of every photograph opportunity."

 Claire Young, Head of Marketing and Development. St John’s College


"King's College School Wimbledon required a refresh of marketing photography featuring students carrying out various activities at school. We initially commissioned Pennie to do a half-day shoot for us but have since invited her back for many more. She continues to impress the marketing team with the beautiful & bright, natural composition of her photography, whilst her relaxed & independent approach to the task makes her an ideal photographer to work with. We couldn't ask for anything better.."
