Juan de Leon-Padmore

I am Yorkshire based (although travel around the UK for work) and in 2022 completed the Film Stills Academy course run by seasoned veteran in unit stills, Nicola Dove.

My photographic background prior to stills photography lay in events and portrait photography. A big highlight was having one of my images published on Vogue Online for the day.

Having worked frontline in healthcare, I have acquired traits that enable me to work efficiently under extreme pressures, whilst also remaining calm and collected so others can feel at ease. These are traits that I often use as a photographer.

My love for film and tv comes from wanting to learn about characters and where their journey will take them. As a stills photographer, it is my end goal to help productions show the personalities and stories of a character through individual images prior to release.
