Understanding people, their ways of life and the land that connects them.
Based on Exmoor in Somerset, Patrick Newnham photographs families, estate life and commercial commissions for private clients and brands in the UK and internationally. His work centres on people, their surroundings and the relationships that give a place its character.
With a degree in Documentary Photography and several years spent managing a private country estate, Patrick brings a practical understanding of the English countryside. He is familiar with its seasonal rhythms, field sports and the daily work of those who care for its land and animals. This experience informs both his commissioned photography and his ongoing documentary work exploring English rural life.
Patrick takes a calm, discreet approach, working with sensitivity to the privacy of his clients and their homes. Whether photographing a family, documenting an estate or creating imagery for a brand, he takes time to understand the brief and put people at ease.
