Professional Images Ltd Information

Professional Images is a national PR photo agency with over 120 PR photographers and press photographers throughout the UK. It was founded in 1989 by Simon Apps, an experienced press photographer. Simon's interest in photography was sparked at college where he enrolled to study drama wanting to establish himself as an actor. Needing to study an additional subject, photography was suggested to him. The artistic opportunities and the ability to make a splash with stunning photography quickly became apparent and the subject became his major area of study. Simon subsequently began his photographic career working for a regional newspaper group as a staff photographer where he learned the skills needed to survive in the world of photojournalism. He covered many major stories including the Hungerford Massacre, photos from which were used worldwide.
