ABOUT

Crawford Visual is the creative vision of Simon Crawford, an internationally published photographer, illustrator, and designer whose vibrant, energetic imagery has been capturing the essence of nightlife and creative culture since 2009.

THE STORY

Simon moved to Belfast where he completed a degree in Visual Communication in 2009. What started as a passion project documenting the city's nightlife evolved into a decade-long love affair with Belfast's creative scene.

Specializing in portrait and nightlife photography, Simon has become known for his distinctive style—colourful, energetic, and unapologetically bold. His lens has captured some of the most fabulous, creative, and daring acts and personalities to grace the stage, with a particular focus on the LGBT scene and creative communities across Belfast and Glasgow.

Working at the intersection of fashion, art, and performance, Simon collaborates with a wide variety of creatives, bringing their visions to life through imagery that's as dynamic as the subjects themselves.

PUBLISHED WORKS

Simon's work has been featured in international publications including:

• Beyond Man: Volume One
• Pink Mince
• Crotch!
• GNI Magazine
• What White Elephant

In 2014, he also published his own one-off magazine, BAKE, showcasing his unique perspective on creative culture.
