Philip North-Coombes Bio

Philip has produced celebrated and innovative photography for over 20 years. His assignments have taken him around the world, whether working for top international fashion brands and journals, breaking new ground as a sport and lifestyle photographer, making challenging documentaries with the BBC or giving his time to frontline charities.

Fascinated by the natural world and the lure of extreme and unexplored locations, he thrives on fresh challenges. From the oceans of Hawaii to the barren beauty of Iceland, from the slums of India to the stark grandeur of Mount Everest, the colour and contrast of his work creates a unique portfolio and fuels his ambition to achieve even better results.

Philip combines stills with video to produce unique advertising, in-store and web communications for many of his commercial clients, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved.

"I love "Capturing the Moment". It allows us all who view the picture to create their own story and use their own imagination. I feel very fortunate to do what I do. It has enabled me to travel around the world and be a part of some very exciting projects."

As a result of Philip's exciting and powerful images he has had the honor of receiving a Merit Award and a Judges Choice Award at the annual Association of Photographers (AOP) Awards. In addition to his awards, The British Journal of Photography published a four-page cover story on Philip's body of work.
