A little bit about us
The Core Team
Giles Christopher
Photographer-Cinematographer
Giles has been involved with photography and cinematography all his life, and he’s not afraid to tell you an anecdote or two!
Having studied graphic design and photography at college in the late 80’s, Giles pursued a career behind the lens, originally working as a publicity photographer in the movie business.
He soon got the movie camera bug and moved up through the ranks from Assistant to Cameraman, so he knows his stuff!
Giles has worked on many TV Commercials, Dramas and iconic feature films, including – Memphis Belle, Aliens, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, and music videos for the likes of Robbie Williams, Take That, Sugababes, Spicegirls, Blur, Kylie Minogue, Pet Shop Boys and KLF- he can also be seen in some of them, if you look really REALLY closely!
Photography has always been his passion, so Media Wisdom Photography was founded in 2000, becoming Giles Christopher Photography in 2021.

Abigail Cockroft
Shoot Producer
After working as a Production Co-ordinator and Production Manager in the Film & TV industry, setting up a Photography business seemed a natural progression.
Who knew that all that experience, laughter and tears, working with Directors, Actors and Film Crews around the World, would help control Photographers when they want to go off on their own creative fancy stuff!
But our combined experience ensures your shoots come in on time, and budget, with a few extra creative bits thrown in.
Awards
I have a Blue Peter Badge, does that count?
Millie the Studio Dog
Wellbeing Expert - Work / Life balance alarm clock.
Arguably the most important part of the studio team.
She is a calming influence on most shoots and always up for a tummy tickle - aren’t we all?
She’s about the size of a plump Koala, very cuddly and will encourage you to just cuddle up on the sofa with her.
We are often asked what breed she is - she’s a unique rescue breed - so a real mashup, giving us the best of everything.
The perfect work / life balance alarm clock.
Awards
WINNER - Chiswick House Dog Show 2019, Best Rescue Category
A title she’s hung on to throughout 2020 and 2021
What We Do
We listen and work with you to develop and promote your story, help you sell more, and stand out online, in print and on social media.
By creating unique and striking photography for marketing and PR campaigns, our images have helped launch new businesses, and played their part in the growth and success of established ones.
Who We Do It For
We love working with both new and established businesses, and individuals who appreciate the value added by commissioning unique, high quality and creative images, professionally photographed making them look their very best.
We also love working with nice people who know this creative process needs time, a carefully considered brief, and who share our enthusiasm, humour, professionalism and eye for detail.
The best part is having clients come to us with a one off photography project, but who end up coming back to us again and again - over years some of them - love that, and appreciate the trust they have in us.
Who’s In Our Gang, Making It Even Easier For You
Whether you need a full production team, or just a crack commando unit, we work with some of the most talented, patient, creative prop stylists, food stylists, hair & make-up artistes, designers, re-touchers and assistants - who all add amazing value with their experience and endless energy.
