About ClearGrove

The story behind our passion for photography

Our Story

ClearGrove was founded in 2020 by a group of passionate photographers who shared a common vision: to create stunning visual stories that capture the essence of life's most beautiful moments.

What began as a small collaborative project among friends quickly evolved into a thriving photography collective. Today, we work with clients across the UK and internationally, providing exceptional photography services and sharing our knowledge through workshops and our popular blog.

Our team brings together diverse photographic styles and expertise, from portrait and landscape photography to street photography and abstract compositions. This variety allows us to approach each project with fresh perspectives and creative solutions.

Our Mission

At ClearGrove, we believe that photography is more than just taking pictures—it's about telling stories, preserving memories, and creating art that resonates with emotion. Our mission is to:

Capture Authentic Moments

We focus on genuine emotions and natural interactions rather than forced poses, creating images that truly reflect the personality and spirit of our subjects.

Inspire Creativity

Through our blog, workshops, and social media, we aim to inspire and educate photographers at all levels, fostering a community of creative visual storytellers.

Deliver Excellence

We are committed to providing exceptional service and high-quality images that exceed our clients' expectations, treating each project with dedication and professionalism.
