Hello, I am Colin Walton, I set up my design business WaltonCreative in 2002, based in Tunbridge Wells. I combine stylish graphic design, professional photography and responsive website design. Bringing together all of the media and design services you will need to successfully promote your business. Over the years I have built up a wide experience of photoshoots.Frequently shooting on location for interior designers or when travelling. I am often taking studio photographs of products for clients' websites and their printed or on-line publicity.
Services
Sometimes products need to have an interesting background. I often put the product in sharp focus in the foreground then make the background soft focus as these shots taken for Swallowtail Hill. Sometimes clients leave the choice of backgrounds to me, for example for men's bracelets, I implied the success of the wearer by placing the products on a copy of the Financial Times as with my shots for Inkerman.
These architecture photographs all use available light and all are hand-held. They are often taken at one location - often classics, such as the Barbican. All of them are taken just as they are, with only the occasional litter clean-up or bollard moving. I also have a vast library of stock photographs, some of which are available to buy on Alamy.com.
Interior design photographs are usually commissioned by designers, where I use available natural light, plus lights within the room itself. Following a quick tour of the rooms to photograph, I work out when the sun would be ideal for each location. Working in this order, I concentrate on shooting the furniture and soft furnishings designed or supplied by the interior design team.
When visiting a new city a lot of the excitement is exploring their public transport. These photographs are from diverse locations; a monorail in Wuppertal, a London Underground station and a massive high speed train station in Belgium. I think it is the architecture and its decoration that makes public transport visually stimulating.

I have worked with Colin Walton for many years and it has always been a very positive experience. Colin's approach', his high level of professionalism and excellent creative eye are a combination I greatly value. He takes time to explain and discuss all aspects of his work and I was consulted at all times. I have no reservation in recommending Walton Creative. It excels.

Colin at Walton Creative has been a huge support whilst updating our entire Company brand, website and graphics, as well as offering advice and solutions. An eye for detail and a good knowledge of effective marketing. Always communicates throughout the draft and final process and consistently delivers to our requested deadlines. We would not hesitate in recommending Colin, and look forward to working with him again on more projects in the future.

As an interior design company looking to raise our profile through advertising, web presence and fabulous photography, we needed somebody creative, highly sensitive to colour and sympathetic to our style. Colin Walton fulfills all those requirements beautifully. He always seems to instinctively know what we want to achieve and is brilliant at interpreting our sometimes vague objectives with originality and to striking effect.
On the technical side Colin is extremely proficient, very quick to respond to requests and, without prompting, often comes back to us with ideas for improvements. We have worked with Colin for over 7 years and we continue to be absolutely delighted with his original and creative approach and his technical expertise.

Our products are beautifully photographed and uploaded to our website within hours. We are a small company with limited time and very limited IT knowledge, but we know we can rely on Colin to deliver exactly what we want, whenever we need it. Walton Creative offers an impeccable service that we would not hesitate to recommend to anyone
