Lance Burkitt Photographer

For over 20 years, I have photographed individuals, brands, and creatives by putting genuine connection first. As a result, the images I create feel honest, natural, and unmistakably human. Rather than forcing a fixed style onto every subject, I take time to understand the person, purpose, and story behind each project. In this way, every photograph begins with a clear sense of identity and intention.

Photography has been part of my life for more than two decades. However, the work itself has never simply been about cameras, equipment, or technique. Instead, it has always been about people: how they see themselves, how they want to be represented, and how a photograph can communicate something meaningful. Consequently, building trust is just as important as choosing the right lighting, location, or composition.

Throughout my career, I have photographed families, musicians, performers, models, creatives, businesses, and strangers on the street. In addition, I have worked across portraiture, fashion, beauty, editorial, documentary, and commercial photography. Each experience has strengthened my ability to observe carefully, respond quickly, and create images that feel both considered and authentic. Furthermore, working across different environments has taught me how to adapt my approach while maintaining a consistent creative standard.

Ever evolving skillset

Moreover, I have spent over fifteen years leading within education and the creative industries. Consequently, I understand how to communicate clearly, guide people with confidence, and create an environment where ideas can develop naturally. At the same time, this experience allows me to work effectively with individuals, agencies, teams, and wider creative collaborators. Therefore, every project benefits from clear communication, thoughtful preparation, and a shared understanding of the intended outcome.

Because of this background, I recognise that many people feel uncomfortable or uncertain in front of a camera. For that reason, my role is not simply to take photographs. Instead, I help people relax, build trust, and feel confident throughout the process. In turn, this creates space for more natural expressions, genuine interactions, and stronger photographs.

Ultimately, every session is shaped around the individual. Whether the approach is quiet and natural or bold and highly directed, the aim remains the same: to create photographs that feel genuine, distinctive, and true to the people within them. Above all, I want every image to hold attention, communicate character, and continue to feel relevant long after delivery.
