Liam Young
Photographer
Where did you study?
I studied a BA (Hons) in Jazz Performance at Middlesex University, learning under some of the UK’s most respected and revered musicians. The course was highly collaborative and performance-led, and it shaped my understanding of discipline, creative structure, and working as part of a wider ensemble.
How would you describe your photography style in a few words?
Playful, confident, with an element of intentional chaos.
What made you want to become a fashion photographer?
Live music photography is often solitary, competitive, and low on collaboration. I missed being part of a larger creative unit.
Fashion photography offered a similar structure, where collaboration with stylists, makeup artists, hair stylists, set designers, and creative directors is central to the outcome. That balance continues to drive my interest in the medium.
What do you love most about photography?
The process. Interpreting a brief, shaping a visual language, directing people, and resolving complexity into a story that satisfies viewers and ultimately provokes inspiration in others.
What can clients expect when working with you?
A calm, structured, and collaborative process with clear direction on set, respect for time and budgets, and a focus on delivering images that work commercially as well as creatively.
