Capturing moments that matter

Photographing pets, children and families across Sussex & Kent

Sussex and Kent Photographer

Hi, I'm John Bloomfield

Photography is my business — and also my passion! I’ve been looking at the world through a lens since I got my first SLR camera as a teenager, and I discover something new at every single shoot.

Pets and people are my specialities, and you can choose between an outdoor shoot on location in East Sussex or Kent, or a session at my studio in Battle. Either way, I promise the same great service — and lots of fun…

Pet photography

For every breed and personality

Every pet is unique, and it’s my job to capture what makes your dog or cat (or gerbil, if you wish!) so special to you. Much more than their good looks, it’s about their personality and energy.

Pictures are amazing

If you are looking for a dog photographer in East Sussex then I highly recommend John Bloomfield Photography. John is kind and caring and always put the dogs needs first. John is very talented and our pictures are amazing, how did you get Murphy to stay still!? I also love the action shots of Murphy catching his ball. Thanks John!

Children and family photography

From newborns to grandparents

Pregnancy, newborns, toddlers, just-started-school, or sulky teenagers: photographing childhood at any stage is always a joy. 

And whether it’s just the kids or a session drawing all the family together, your final images will reflect the magic we created on the day. Where we gather is up to you: maybe an outdoor shoot somewhere lovely in East Sussex or Kent, or at my studio in Battle, or we can all get together at your home. Or a mix. You choose.

Professional and corporate photography

Headshots, brands, creative collabs

Looking for a new headshot for your LinkedIn profile or business team page? Look no further. I’ve put together a competitively-priced headshot offer which includes a session at my studio in Battle, East Sussex, or on location.

I also work with business owners who want to use creative photography to build their brand, and I’m always on the lookout for like-minded professionals who’d like to explore project collaborations.  

Everything I wanted and more

I’ve always felt corporate wasn’t quite right for me, so approached John looking for a different style of headshot and profile images. It was a combined shoot with my mum, who was looking for a similar style. We did two locations and John managed to capture exactly what we had envisaged — relaxed and in nature while still being professional. Alongside the professional images, we also got some beautiful shots together, with our two dogs and the dogs got their own time to shine too. John was brilliant throughout, and we’re delighted with the images. Highly recommend for anyone looking for professional, family and dog photography
