About
Ethan Parker is a documentary & editorial photographer and the current Photographer-in-Residence at Abbey Road Studios. His work has been published in THE FACE, The Guardian and British Journal of Photography, and exhibited nationwide as part of Portrait of Britain 2026 in partnership with JCDecaux. His photography was licensed as the hero image for Spotify’s 2026 digital and out-of-home campaign, celebrating the 60th anniversary of Notting Hill Carnival.
Rooted in street photography, his work is drawn to candid, unguarded moments of everyday life. Whether photographing political unrest or communities closer to home, his approach is led by a genuine curiosity about people and the lives they lead.
He works with editorial clients, brands and private commissions, bringing the same human-centred approach to each.
