Rekha Garton
With 20 years of experience as a photographer, specifically book covers until I transitioned into Unit Stills Photography.
I hit the ground running with a feature film, A24’s The Souvenir Part Two. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to work on a variety of feature films and HETV series, which you can see on my full IMDB and more recently I was honoured to be accepted into the SMPSP
I’m located about 1.5 hours from London in Norfolk, but I have bases in London and Bristol also.
As you might have seen, I’m also an underwater photographer, I’ve done underwater work for multiple feature films and TV series at U stage at Pinewood Studios to make shift tanks.
SILO STAGE
This was me on my last day on Silo, which I spent five years working on from season
1 - 4.
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 2000 published for authors including Jo Nesbo, Nicholas Sparks, Judy Blume, Robert Ludlum and many many more.
