Philippa Frey is a Photographer and Producer based in San Francisco who works everywhere.


 

Philippa has loved photography ever since she borrowed her father’s camera at the age of 9. Inspired by her mother who was a fashion model and beauty contest winner, and her father who was both an Olympic coach for the British track and field team as well as founder of PowerSport, a leading fitness equipment manufacturer, Philippa was a model herself and studied business and photography at Chapman University in Southern California. After graduating she established her own event planning business while also working in fashion retail and a boutique hotel before pausing her career to raise two children. Returning to work as a senior advisor for Cross Media International, she went on to become a producer, photographer, and co-director within the company. Working at CMI Philippa has helped to produce major advertising campaigns with modeling icons such as Helena Christensen and Miranda Kerr, music artists such as Galantis, and Celine Farach, and Hollywood legends such as Bruce Willis — at times also filming and photographing behind the scenes. Her photography work has been featured in British GQ magazine and at the luxury department store, Harvey Nichols, in London. In addition to being a producer and photographer, Philippa also enjoys working as a cinematographer, with her first behind-the-camera film credit being for “Additional Photography” on a multiple award-winning documentary in 2017. Philippa has been the official photographer on social media campaigns for beauty brands such as Hollywood makeup artist Julie Hewett and celebrity hairstylist Tina Cassaday in Beverly Hills, as well as producing online videos for Sephora, Tatcha, H2P and Feel Aloha, while most recently both producing and filming content for Saturday Skin. When at times working on smaller projects Philippa will wear many hats, even scouting models and auditioning actors while producing dozens of videos for companies as large as Facebook as well as small stealth-mode startups.
