About John Shepherd Photography.

John Shepherd Photography Logo.

I'm a Photographer primarily creating Stock imagery for my portfolio at Getty Images and Istockphoto.

Images from these portfolios have been licensed worldwide for commercial use over 70,000 times.

Based near Lancaster, and I love Cornwall.

Many of my photographs feature this beautiful county and have been licensed by Companies worldwide including Marks and Spencer, the BBC, Sunday Times, Virgin, T-mobile, various holiday companies, property developers, clothing retailers, airlines and many Cornish-based businesses. 

Stock photography has become extremely challenging, my revenue is down 90% from 2010. Images licenced in most cases for pennies, image theft is rife and now AI steals our work without payment. 

Because of this I can no longer invest in photoshoots. I now shoot things around me such as food, travel imagery while visiting my favourite place, Cornwall.

If you’ve licensed one of my images, a big thank you.

If you would like to hire me for your business or create portfolio imagery please get in contact.


Now experimenting with video and design.
