Urban street photography is about finding beauty in the everyday — the stories, faces, and fleeting moments that often go unnoticed. At Clive Westcott Photography, I specialise in capturing the rhythm and character of life through honest, unscripted images that celebrate real people and real places.
Whether it’s the quiet charm of a side street, the energy of a local market, or the raw emotion of people passing by, my approach is all about observing, anticipating, and capturing moments that tell genuine stories.
Street photography isn’t staged — it’s spontaneous, unpredictable, and full of character. Each photograph captures a slice of life, reflecting Dorset’s blend of history, culture, and everyday movement.
I look for:
Texture and contrast – light, shadow, and architecture working together.
Emotion and expression – faces that reveal human connection.
Stories within spaces – how people move, interact, and belong in urban settings.
Two photographers for up to 10 hours, working together to ensure we don’t miss those special moments. Getting ready shots of you both before the ceremony, candid moments with special family and friends, capturing the excitement and anticipation.
The care and service I offer are aimed at bringing your thoughts into a finished visible format. Samples can be seen in person – I offer a very discreet service for those people who do not wish their images to get out!
Digital files can be supplied in either edited or unedited versions, printing – mounting, and framing is also available on site. Canvas prints can be printed and formed as well in my studio.
