Phil Crow is a photographer based in Lincoln UK

I have the vanity of an artist: I want my work to be seen. But I don’t necessarily have to be seen.

David Hockney, Artist

Phil Crow ABIPP has over 20 years experience in photography. For the last 15 years he has worked as an industrial and editorial photographer for clients such as ALSTOM and Siemens, shooting stills and video at manufacturing facilities as well as customer sites throughout the world. He has worked for local and national film and theatre companies and also spent three years working with the world-famous ‘Red Arrows’ aircraft display team.

Phil has published a number of books: His first, Portraits in Power, was commissioned by ALSTOM to celebrate the millennium, while Who’s There For Me was produced with help from BITC and won the 2003 Sieff Award. 2010 saw Phil’s fifth publication launched- Lincoln Cathedral: A Journey from Past to Present.

‘Who’s There For Me?’ has its fair share of hard luck stories and tragedy but Crow’s sympathetic and detailed study shows how a little compassion can make a big difference to the life of another human being.

Phil also provides design, web and moving image to his clients: in the early 90’s he worked on a whole range of broadcast programmes from Spitting Image to Play Days!

2013 saw Phil exhibit new work at The Angel Coffee House, sponsored by The University of Lincoln and local businesses. On Your Bike Lincoln was well received and was also displayed at David Lloyd Burton Waters and at The Collection. Phil also exhibited during the 2014 Lincoln Grand Prix Festival of Cycling weekend and is looking forward to a 2015 show which will be opening at the end of June!

Phil is an Associate member of the British Institute of Professional Photography.

As a big fan of photography, I love your work.

In 2010 Phil had a routine operation. This went wrong and he was in hospital for 3 months: almost dying of sepsis, he spent 6 weeks in an Intensive Care Unit.

Since then, Phil has cycled, run and raised money for a variety of charities and is an ambassador to Sepsis and PTSD Awareness. In 2012 Phil was one of the 8000 Olympic Torchbearers, nominated for overcoming critical illness, raising money and being an inspiration within his community.

“Phil is a highly motivated professional photographer. No task is too difficult or complicated, he is very creative in all elements of his work.
His work is returned on time and is always of a high standard. He is top of my list for professional photographers”

“I have worked with Phil for many years on a variety of photo shoots. These have included coverage of important events for our organisation, involving high profile individuals, as well as imagery for marketing materials. Our organisation, OSJCT, provides care for older people so a sensitive approach is required to get the best pictures. Phil is brilliant at putting people at their ease to the point where you scarcely know he’s there. His professionalism is absolute, he provides an excellent service at reasonable cost and is always on time, with ideas of how to get a different angle or a unique twist. I would recommend him without hesitation.”

“There is no other photographer that I’d choose to work with in Lincolnshire. Phil’s work speaks for itself (see my profile pic). He is only happy once he gets ‘the shot’ and works relentlessly until he does. Quality and creativity come to mind when I think of his work and I have recommended him to so many.
Phil has also done my business branding and website and created a strong identity for me. If you want your business or project differentiated and represented as you want it, engage him. I cant speak highly enough of him.”
