LEESHA WILLIAMS
Photographer, filmmaker and visual storyteller
I'm a Black queer photographer and filmmaker (and single mum to a wild little one), based in the Midlands and working across London and the UK.
For over ten years I've been photographing and filming the people and moments that matter: founders and culture-led brands, couples who want a wedding that actually feels like them, and families who'd rather have real moments than stiff poses.
My work has been featured in HELLO! and Hitched, and I've shot for brands including Laura Ashley and Superdrug. Whatever I'm shooting, representation and skin tones that look like you are non-negotiable. No ashy edits, ever.
