Press, Editorial and PR Photography
Welcome to the website of UK photographer Sean Aidan.
My background is in fine art and graphic design. Having achieved a DipAD (Hons) (Diploma in Art and Design), I have an eye for a picture (or so I've been told). After nearly 40 years as a photographer in the national and local newspaper industry, staff and freelance photographer for Local World and Reach Plc plus several years freelancing for the KM Media Group and the Sunday Telegraph, I am now stepping back to concentrate more on stock photography, supplying images to stock agencies such as Getty, Shutterstock, Corbis and Hutchinson.
My experience is wide and varied, from photographing elite tennis players at Wimbledon to Sunday league football on a muddy pitch in the middle of nowhere. I've covered major events from the late Queen's funeral and the King's coronation to Rachel Reeves lifting aloft the famous red box in Downing Street on budget day. My pictures have appeared in many publications, city guides, album covers and advertising campaigns, and have been used by UK and international clients. I've worked in the UK, Europe and the USA.
My focus now is on documenting and recording events – being there. Documenting an event does not mean condoning or supporting the participants of that event or protest. I aim to be a witness without expressing judgement or prejudice. My pictures are not intended to express any personal beliefs or opinions. I'm recording what my camera sees – visual storytelling.
Note & disclaimer: There are several pictures on this site taken at pro-Palestine events in London. As an accredited photojournalist, these are editorial / documentary pictures and are not intended to show any support for Palestine Action (or any other group). Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation from 5 July 2025. Pictures on this site relating to Palestine Action were taken before 5 July 2025; they are a factual account of events.
I hope this website gives you an idea of my work. Thanks for visiting.
