Jerome Whittingham – photographer

BIO

I’m freelance with over 25 years of experience creating and distributing compelling content for businesses, development organisations, higher education organisations, charities, and public sector non-profits.

Based in Stoke-on-Trent, North Staffordshire, I also work across the West Midlands, London, and the North.

My photography creates very shareable and engaging content that can inspire, resonate, and inform.

Drop me a message. Let’s chat. I’m always open to a creative collaboration.

Why ‘The Picture Poster’?

Well…

‘Picture Post’ was a groundbreaking British photojournalism magazine, first published in 1938.

The magazine was known for its engaging imagery and socially conscious content, becoming a voice for ordinary people during a turbulent era marked by World War II and Britain’s post-war reconstruction.

Its blend of photo essays and brief written human-interest stories delivered accesible storytelling, highlighting social issues and celebrating everyday life.

At its peak ‘Picture Post’ sold 2 million copies each issue! It shaped public opinion and set journalistic trends.

It ceased publication in 1957, but its pioneering photojournalism has influenced almost every professional news photographer since, including me.

Its style of storytelling is everything I’ve ever set out to achieve across my decades of professional documentary photography, but I guess I was born in the wrong era, lol.
