Rekha Garton

16 years experience as a photographer, specifically book covers until I transitioned into Unit Stills Photography.

I hit the ground running with a feature film, The Souvenir Part Two, which is now Cannes Directors Fortnight 2021. Since then I’ve been lucky enough to work on a variety of feature films and TV series which you can see my full IMDB —>

Based about 1.5hrs from London, about the same time it takes to get across London! Happy to travel anywhere and have my own car. Though if you’re filming in Norfolk, I’ll be on your doorstep!

As you might have seen I’m also an underwater photographer, I have been far longer than my unit stills photography career but now they have collided which is great fun. I’ve done underwater work for multiple feature films and TV series at U stage at Pinewood Studios to make shift tanks.

Due to the nature of my personal work I’m adept with studio lighting and creating strong and cinematic images for Gallery and Specials work.

My book cover career was wonderful and provided me with those essential skills of learning where and how to leave copy space for designers and even more so; to weave an entire story from one photo. A way to intrigue the viewer, to catch their eye in a book shop or even online mimics itself so well in unit stills photography.

Productions

My career has primarily been making photographs for book covers, to which I have over 1400 published for authors including Jo Nesbo, Nicholas Sparks, Judy Blume, Robert Ludlum and many many more.
