Hi,
I’m Steph
Founder of Capture the Curious and absolute menace to beige visuals (although a pretty nice human!)
I specialise in making products misbehave in front of the camera so brands don’t have to play it safe and be forgotten.
Beauty, drinks and FMCG keep me entertained and occasionally covered in crumbs, fizz or glitter.
My studio in Lincoln is business home base, but I shoot across the UK.
Where it all began…
Before I was shooting bold campaign imagery for beauty, drinks and FMCG brands, I was a theatre kid turned design & creative writing grad. who got a job in marketing. This means ideas, story and drama have always been my default settings. Directing people, story telling building narrative or tension all came way before a camera entered the chat.
Marketing gave me the commercial brain. Theatre gave me the drama and design gave me the visual knowledge. Put them together and you get campaign visuals that feel bold, appetising and a little bit mischievous… not just “nice images.”
Now I shoot beauty, food, drinks and FMCG brands who don’t want their products to just sit there - they want them to sell, seduce and take up space. Sparkhouse Lincoln is my studio base, but I work across the UK wherever the brief needs me.
Big Idea? Small idea? Weird idea? I’m all ears! (and I‘m a little weird myself)
