Lamar Francois
Affiliate Photographer
Lamar wholeheartedly embraces photography being both an arts and a science. Having initially studied physics and mathematics at university, he developed a craft and a voice through the medium. Later on he became a storyteller and vital voice showcasing the wonders and the joy of arts and cultural events in the Midlands, centring on Nottingham where he is based.
He has seen quite a variety of different acts and performances during his time as a photographer – from an entire orchestra performed by musicians with learning disabilities (Inspire Youth Arts) to working in the splendour of St Paul’s Cathedral for a fundraising event with The King’s Trust, as well as documenting the Colmore Food Festival in Birmingham, one of the Midlands’ premier festivals. On a smaller scale he has run photography workshops for the NHS, helping their staff unwind through the craft he has perfected.

A thriving society needs art and culture and storytelling. As a photographer, I’ve realised I’ve got a unique voice and a tool to really showcase how the arts can have an emotional impact, and create memories for many people.
