Mine name is Stephen Stringer and I run Essex House Photography

I spent many years working in the finance industry in London. During this time I owned a succession of Praktica and Canon SLR cameras and enjoyed pursuing photography as a hobby. I was made redundant in 2005 and since then I have had the time and enthusiasm to expand my interest, experience and knowledge of photography.

With the cost of equipment, travel and accommodation, photography can be an expensive hobby. In order to help fund my passion I have started to sell some of my work through the stock photography agency Getty Images. Buyers of my photographs include National Geographic, Channel 4, Telegraph Media and BBC Sport. I will never make a fortune from stock photography but it is gratifying to know that my work is seen worldwide.

11 years ago I established Essex House Photography specialising in taking photographs of houses for estate agents and private individuals. This was a natural progression of my interest in photography and I enjoy getting out and meeting agents and vendors whilst doing something I enjoy.

When I am not working taking photographs of houses I can be found, usually at dawn or sunset, taking landscape photographs around the U.K.
