Photographer based in the Chilterns, Bedfordshire
Based in the Chilterns in Bedfordshire, I am a passionate travel photographer, blogger and content creator, capturing everything from landscapes, seascapes and architecture from my travels.
You will often find me on a deserted beach at sunrise, in the middle of a field with the temperature about -4 or laying on the ground trying to capture that unique angle. Married with three children who have been very patient whilst I pursue my love of photography.
I am honoured to have been a Getty Images contributor for many years, having my work displayed on all types of media around the world.
I also work with the travel & leisure industry photographing and promoting businesses both in the UK and across Europe.
I hope you enjoy my site and that I inspire you to visit the places that I try and showcase.
Thanks for passing by...Graham

"Dear Graham,
Many thanks for your images / blog post, the images and content ARE FANTASTIC!
I have worked with Graham over the last year or two at two separate venues that I have worked for. After working with Graham in my previous role, I just knew that I had to contact him when moving across to my new position here at Chicheley Hall. Graham’s work is stunning to say the least. I am always excited to receive the images he has taken of the venue, and once again he has exceeded expectations. I would thoroughly recommend you getting in touch with Graham if you are looking for some timeless, striking images that can be used for years to come".

“I found Graham right from the off to be professional, courteous and honest and that continued throughout our correspondence and his subsequent stay. Graham provided us with some excellent photos of not only the cottage he stayed in and the area but also one of our other cottages. We can now use them all in our social media and on our website and blog. Graham also spent time contributing to our social media pages during his stay with photos and videos. I get a lot of approaches for complimentary stays and I can honestly say that this one really felt worth it as I feel I got a tremendous amount of value”.

“It was a delight to have Graham stay with us. Communication was clear and responsive in the build up to his visit. Graham is a very amenable chap and nothing was too much trouble during the photo shoot. The resulting album of photographs is superb. Our existing interior photographs of our holiday cottage interiors were getting out of date and needed refreshing.
We received two hundred high quality images which really show the cottages at their best, as well as some location shots taken by Graham during his visit. The images were showcased on Graham's blog, Facebook and Instagram accounts providing a real buzz about the place. I thoroughly recommend Graham's work. If you need excellent quality images to promote your brand, Graham is the man to talk to”.

"We recently coordinated for Graham Custance to visit our client's beautiful venue and cottages, Kilminorth, on a press trip opportunity. It's important for us to partner with reliable service providers and creatives, and Graham really hit the mark for us. In the lead up to the trip, he was communicative and asked lots of questions around the type of content that we would require from a marketing perspective. As we look after the social media channels for Kilminorth, we wanted to have a broad range of formats and content types to utilise after he had departed. We received a fantastic album of imagery and Graham also took over the Kilminorth Instagram account for the week, which exceeded all our expectations. We also received a lovely blog post on his website. The engagement was great and the content looked fantastic. We wouldn't hesitate to welcome Graham back again in the future."

“I’m so pleased our paths crossed when Graham stayed at our holiday cottages. During his visit not only did he take photographs of ‘life at Twistgates’ but also many of the local places that he discovered, which he shared daily with us on Social Media - the increase in our followers was instant! The quality of the photographs are superb and so often Graham has seen something from a viewpoint that might not occur to others, resulting in truly delightful images. Thank you so much Graham for the boost to our media coverage and your excellent photos.”
