About: The Long

Known to my friends as Brammall, Bram or Brush, I grew up hearing, “Life’s sh*t, get on with it.” And if that didn’t fill me with positivity, a school aptitude test suggested Window Cleaner or Fence Erector. Not the career I had in mind.

I fell into the music industry in my early 20s. I painted my studio (bedroom) black, built sets and made whacky ideas happen. Hundreds of bands, a few NME covers and one very ordinary encounter with Kanye West later, I realised it wasn’t who I was photographing that mattered – I just loved making things.

Now I create imagery for campaigns, key art and promotional projects. I love shaping ideas, creating worlds, solving problems and depending on the project I’ll either take it through to final edit or bring in brilliant collaborators to make it happen.

Alongside client work, I shoot personal projects exploring humour, emotion and the stranger edges of everyday life. My series Grief is the Price We Pay for Love received Honourable Mentions at the PX3 and IPA Awards and my work has featured in Lürzer’s Archive 200 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide.

Above all, I want the pictures to be great and the process to be enjoyable. Ideally both.
