Fashion Portraits Photojournalism [ Biography ] Contact

Philip Meech is an experienced London based freelance photographer, currently working from his studio in Bermondsey. With a background in press and photojournalism, he has recently turned his attention to the world of fashion, shooting for Prada, Miu Miu and Gas Jeans.

 

In the early 1990’s, Philip studied for a degree in photography at the University of Westminster in London, quickly gaining recognition thanks to successes in the Observer/Hodge Young Photojournalist of the Year Award, and The Guardian Student Media awards.

 

Upon graduation, Philip won the prestigious traineeship with The Independent newspaper, and continued to freelance on the paper for a further seven years. During this time, he started to build up a substantial client-base thanks to his growing reputation and undertook commissions for other newspapers and magazines, as well as design and advertising agencies.

 

A long term project to document the Prada and Miu Miu fashion shows, for Rotterdam based architectural and creative studio OMA/AMO, has lead to the recent collaboration with graphic artists Lok Jansen and Jeroen Koolhaas to create the highly regarded Prada look books.

 

In addition to his commissioned work, Philip has been regularly invited back to the University of Westminster to lecture on photography.
