JK Photography

I’m John Kemp: a Derby photographer with over thirty years experience both teaching and practising photography. Those years have provided me with a strong command of technique, a good awareness of creative approaches, and an understanding that professional photography is about more than simply shooting and supplying pictures. I believe that quality photographs come firstly from the imagination of the photographer, but should be backed up with first-class technical knowledge and equipment.

I provide photography services in Derbyshire, the East Midlands and UK wide for commercial clients, including location and studio work. I also take commissions from private individuals, such as portraits, actor headshots, promotional shots for bands, etc. I’m active as a creative photographer, shooting for my own pleasure on a weekly basis. The knowledge and experience I’ve gained from teaching in Art & Design mean that I can provide a fresh, creative approach to the brief. When the job is done, as a Derby photographer I also offer ongoing advice and support with issues such as digital resizing and printing.
