Kellie French | Overview Commissions Biography

Kellie French is a London-based photographer and creative director.

Humorous and engaging, Kellie’s photography is polished, bright and fearless in its deployment of colour and concept. Her bold, graphic compositions and playful approach to shooting people, products, still life, beauty and food have attracted a wide roster of editorial and commercial clients.

Kellie is represented by Flock in the UK and Worldwide.

  • En route to finding her voice as a photographer, Kellie had a successful career in advertising. Working at agencies including M&C Saatchi, Ogilvy, Channel 4 and AMV BBDO gave her a passion for concept creation, which has hugely influenced her photographic work. She enjoys working closely with clients throughout each production, bringing the rich benefits of her extensive advertising experience to the creative process.

    For Kellie, “concept is King”. She embraces her subject matter, producing strong and compelling imagery for a wide variety of briefs. She brings brightness and fun to her shots of beauty products and concepts for a weekly column with Sali Hughes in the Guardian; food, drinks, people and products are likewise captured with colour and joy. Her wry sense of humour often shines through in her work and clients always discover she is a delight to work with.

    Kellie shoots regularly for The Guardian / Observer and her recent clients include And Begin, Tonic, Folk Clothing, Cult Beauty, Unilever, John Lewis, Coal Drops Yard and also The Financial Times & Telegraph.

    Kellie and Flock work closely with clients on every brief - from initial concepts and story-boards through to beautifully polished post-production. We always bring together a carefully tailored team to support the requirements of each shoot.

    We strive to ensure our shoots are inclusive, environmentally aware and responsible - we use AdGreen to monitor carbon use and we partner with Ecologi to offset carbon. Many of our trusted suppliers also work with this ethos in mind, so we can support our client’s diversity and sustainability goals, and of course be kind to people and the planet.
