Simon Holliday

I'm a photographer living in Bristol, UK. I photograph mostly people — portraits, documentary photography, musicians and gigs.

I create original and distinctive portraits and promo photos, as well as documenting the vibrant Bristol music scene, alongside other documentary photography, and capturing random street scenes.
