About Portraits by Pear Tree

DIRECTOR & PHOTOGRAPHER

Connan is an amazing man, gentle, sensitive, funny and an amazing father. He has an extremely creative mind and his attention to detail verges on annoying!!! (He is unable to watch a film or TV show without pointing out the problems or pausing the show to talk about how amazing a shot is!)

He has worked in the film and television industry for over 26 years and has worked on many amazing projects including, ‘The Kings Speech’, ‘Death Comes to Pemberley’, ‘Little Britain’, ‘Birdsong’, ’The Village’, and ‘Mr Turner’. Connan has always had a passion for photography and uses the skills he has learnt over the years to create beautiful stunning images.

DIRECTOR

I had always wanted to be a stay at home mum, to be able to bring up my children and be there for them at every point in their life. I never considered being a stay at home mum and working full-time all at the same time, but thats what my life offered me. I have no regrets in my life, I love my daughter and I love my work.

I have also come from a film and television background but whereas Connan made projects look good, I made them sound good. I have worked on many projects such as ‘Man on Wire’, ’Project Nim’, ‘Who do you think you are?’, ‘Master Chef’ and more recently ‘Grand Designs’.

I won a Bafta in 2010 for best sound design on ‘Trawlermen’ and then went on to win a Conch award later that year for best sound designer of 2010.

We are both passionate about stunning imagery and giving clients beautiful long lasting memories.
