Clive Allcorn- Allcorn Photography

I’m Clive Allcorn, a photographer specialising in Brand and Headshot photography. Based near Marden in Kent,

A photographer for all of my adult life, I finally got the chance to create a business from my passion, when I retired from Kent Police in 2014. I have a compact studio set in a beautiful garden, surrounded by miles of countryside.

I will talk to you about the importance of the imagery you use in your marketing. I believe in putting the business owner front and centre of the business in both the images and the copy. Every aspect of your marketing should reflect you, your personality and your values. Only then will you attract the right clients.
