Professional Photographer Serving Staffordshire

Nathan Stirk is a professional photographer in Staffordshire specialising in events, commercial projects, conferences, sports and agriculture. A Staffordshire University graduate with a First Class Honours degree in Photojournalism, he brings nearly a decade of experience and a client roster that includes the FA, England Cricket Board and Manchester City FC. Based in neighbouring Cheshire.

Photography That Delivers Results for Staffordshire Businesses

When your reputation is on the line, you need photography that performs. Not generic stock-style images, but purposeful shots that strengthen your brand, support your marketing, and give you content worth sharing. They also act as a trust signal that builds credibility with potential clients.

As a professional photographer serving Staffordshire, I bring both local knowledge and national-level experience. I graduated from Staffordshire University with First Class Honours in Photojournalism, and I’ve spent the years since working with organisations ranging from local Staffordshire businesses to professional football, including Stoke City and Port Vale. Based just over the border in Cheshire, I reach most Staffordshire locations within 40 minutes.

Staffordshire-Trained, Nationally Recognised

My journey in photography started right here in Staffordshire. I studied Photojournalism at Staffordshire University, earning a First Class Honours degree that laid the groundwork for everything I do today. That training instilled an approach I still follow: observe carefully, tell stories visually, and always serve the end purpose.

Nearly a decade later, I’ve built a portfolio spanning commercial, editorial and sporting photography at the highest levels. I contribute regularly to Getty Images, with my work distributed to newspapers and broadcasters globally. The organisations I’ve partnered with include the FA, England Cricket Board, Lawn Tennis Association, Manchester City FC, National Lottery, Edgbaston Cricket Club, the Premier League.

Operating from Holmes Chapel in Cheshire, I’m positioned to reach Stafford, Stoke-on-Trent, Lichfield and surrounding areas efficiently. I’ve photographed at numerous Staffordshire venues and understand the county well.

My commitment: honest pricing upfront, dependable delivery in 3-5 working days, and files optimised for web, print and social media. Expedited turnaround is available when schedules demand it.

Nathan was really professional and easy going when he came to film a promotional video for my business. He edited the video in the style I wanted and it was clear he wanted to get it just right. I will definitely use him again in the future!

We used Nathan to film some content for our promotional video for our business, and he far surpassed our expectations! Nathan saw what we were trying to achieve, went above and beyond what we asked and produced a very high quality film for our business. Not only was he great at producing what we needed, but he was great at putting our partners at ease and helped them to contribute some great feedback in our interview with them. 100% recommend Nathan and his services!
