Martin Bamford, Photographer
Hi there! I’m often out on an adventure with my camera or busy creating with clients, so I may not be able to respond immediately. However, I always love hearing from you! The best way to reach me is via email at martin@bearcontent.co.uk, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I’m able to step away from the lens.

About

Martin Bamford is a Surrey Hills-based photographer specialising in portrait, event, and brand photography.

He is a Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers member and has been recognised as a Clutch Top Corporate Photographer (UK).

Before pursuing a career in photography, Martin was a Chartered Financial Planner, where his attention to detail and precision seamlessly transitioned into his photography, resulting in captivating and thoughtful imagery.

Bear Content was awarded The Trade Mark Surrey Hills in September 2019 and are proud to maintain this accreditation.

Martin was awarded the coveted Gold Trade Mark Surrey Hills Award in June 2022.

The first time that a Gold Trade Mark has been bestowed on an individual, Martin received the award in recognition of his commitment and the time given to Surrey Hills and the local community in Cranleigh, as well as his inspiration to others.

Outside of the studio, Martin is a devoted husband and father of three, with two dogs. He is also deeply committed to volunteering, serving as chairman of the Knowle Park Trust, managing a 60-acre country park, and as Event Director of Cranleigh parkrun.

  • I’d stumbled across Martin somehow on instagram, I was immediately struck by some of his portraits of a female actor. I loved the way he had used the light in her portraits which created mood and drama.

    Martin is an exceptional photographer and a really lovely person. He puts you immediately at ease and his calm nature and positive outlook immediately help you to relax in front of the camera. He had really listened to the brief I had given and provided advice on compositions to capture the look I really wanted.

    The images have come out even better than I would have imagined and you can really observe how relaxed he made me feel in every shot. The photography is both a keepsake and something I can share to promote my business, I can’t thank him enough.
