Cardiff, South Wales
TV and Film Unit Stills Photographer
Hello!
I’m Rachel, a Welsh-speaking photographer from Cardiff, South Wales.
I've worked as a full-time freelance photographer for over 15 years, creating imagery for broadcast, commercial and editorial clients across the UK and abroad. Over the past several years, I've specialised in unit stills, behind-the-scenes photography and publicity imagery for film and television productions, combining strong visual storytelling with a professional understanding of life on set.
I have worked with clients including BBC, ITV, S4C, EE and Six Nations Rugby, producing publicity photography, promotional campaigns, behind-the-scenes coverage, editorial features and key marketing imagery. My focus is always on creating cinematic, authentic photographs that capture the atmosphere, emotion and story of a production.
I work with a full professional Sony system and shoot silently during filming, allowing me to document productions discreetly without disrupting the set. Whether capturing pivotal moments between takes, publicity portraits, or the energy behind the camera, I aim to create imagery that serves both the production and its audience.
Helo!
Fi yw Rachel, ffotograffydd sy'n siarad Cymraeg ac yn dod o Caerdydd, De Cymru.
Rwyf wedi gweithio fel ffotograffydd llawrydd llawn amser ers dros 15 mlynedd, gan greu delweddaeth ar gyfer cleientiaid darlledu, masnachol a golygyddol ledled y DU a thramor. Dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf, rwyf wedi arbenigo mewn lluniau llonydd uned, ffotograffiaeth y tu ôl i'r llenni a delweddaeth gyhoeddusrwydd ar gyfer cynyrchiadau ffilm a theledu, gan gyfuno adrodd straeon gweledol cryf â dealltwriaeth broffesiynol o fywyd ar y set.
Rwyf wedi gweithio gyda chleientiaid gan gynnwys y BBC, ITV, S4C, EE a Rygbi'r Chwe Gwlad, gan gynhyrchu ffotograffiaeth gyhoeddusrwydd, ymgyrchoedd hyrwyddo, sylw y tu ôl i'r llenni, nodweddion golygyddol a delweddaeth marchnata allweddol. Fy ffocws bob amser yw creu ffotograffau sinematig, dilys sy'n dal awyrgylch, emosiwn a stori cynhyrchiad.
Rwy'n gweithio gyda system Sony broffesiynol lawn ac yn tynnu lluniau'n dawel yn ystod ffilmio, gan ganiatáu i mi ddogfennu cynyrchiadau'n ddisylw heb amharu ar y set. Boed yn dal eiliadau allweddol rhwng lluniau, portreadau cyhoeddusrwydd, neu'r egni y tu ôl i'r camera, fy nod yw creu delweddaeth sy'n gwasanaethu'r cynhyrchiad a'i gynulleidfa.
“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Rachel Lambert at Coed Hills during our recent short film shoot, and what a gift she was to the whole process. Rachel has that rare knack of blending right in — we hardly noticed she was there, yet when we saw the photographs, it was clear she’d caught the very heart and soul of the shoot.
Her images are simply outstanding, full of atmosphere and a real sense of place, capturing not only the action but the spirit of the crew working together. Nothing was too much trouble for her — she was helpful, patient, and utterly professional, but in that quietly effortless way that makes everything feel fuss-free.
It was a joy to have her on set, and we’ll certainly be calling on her again. Diolch yn fawr iawn, Rachel — you’ve given us a collection of behind-the-scenes memories we’ll treasure every bit as much as the film itself.”
- Bethan Jenkins, Development Producer, Triongl - BEYOND
