Inside the Lens: 20 Years of Interior Photography with Holly Jolliffe Podcast

Today’s guest is an experienced editorial and commercial photographer whose beautiful interior and still-life work has appeared on the pages of top UK publications and on brands’ lifestyle and advertising imagery. With a degree in Editorial Photography from the University of Brighton and an early career assisting in London, Holly has spent the last two decades building a successful freelance business. Now based on the Isle of Wight—with a purpose-built studio at the bottom of her garden – she continues to shoot across on the Isle of Wight and in London for clients like Ideal Home, Ocado Magazine, Guardian Labs, and many small brands and businesses. Her creative eye, technical ability, and collaborative spirit make her a favourite among designers, stylists, and publishers alike.

I’m delighted to be talking with Holly Jolliffe.
