WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE. WE ARE CELEBRATING 25 FANTASTIC YEARS OF PROVIDING CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY TO ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT BUSINESSES.

I have worked with Andy and Tony for years now. Their strength is their ability to consistently deliver a great result on ever more demanding shoots while remaining collaborative and easy to work with. In particular photographing people who aren’t used to having their photograph taken or are uncomfortable with it. They have real expertise in putting people at ease and getting the best from them. There’s always a smile and a laugh too, which is important when you’re up against it.

“I have worked with Critical Tortoise for 17 years, across four very different organisations. The work Andy and Tony have completed has always been of the highest standard and I really value their creative input. They are not only very talented but fantastic to work with, which also means they put people at ease to achieve some very natural imagery. Aside from people images they are equally accomplished at product imagery, drone photography and video footage.”

I have used Critical Tortoise for over 14 years and have always loved working with them. The quality of their work is second-to-none; whether it’s location-based shoots, product photography or with models. They’re very proactive and often need very little in terms of a brief as they just ‘get’ what we require. Andy and Tony are also top guys to work with.

I’ve known Andy and Tony for 14 years now and they have worked on so many different projects for me over the years.  No matter what the brief is, or what we are shooting, the end result is always high quality photos that capture exactly what I need. Whether they are doing a full day of lifestyle photography or a PR shoot, they are able to make people instantly feel comfortable, which means they get the very best out of anyone within the available time.  As well as meeting my briefs they are also great at talking through ideas and locations, and making suggestions that result in unique shots and a variety of photos.
