I’m Dayve Ward, a professional product photographer based in the UK. Beyond my commercial work, I continue my lifelong passion for photography through personal projects and image-making, many of which are shared here.
I’ve always been captivated by the visual world around me, using photography to capture its light, form, and atmosphere. I see composition, colour, texture, and shape everywhere; elements that inspire every image I make.
Living in Cumbria, I’m constantly drawn to the landscape, the play of light across the fells and lakes brings a sense of calm and tranquillity to my work. I’m equally inspired by the vibrancy of cities, where colour, movement, and energy create a different kind of visual rhythm. I also have a deep fascination with the man-made and forgotten; disused places, old buildings, and discarded objects whose textures and histories tell their own quiet stories.
Through all my photography, I aim to capture not just what I see, but the feeling of being there; the atmosphere, stillness, or vitality that defines a moment in time.
