Brandon Ellison is a Photographer and businessman born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, who moved to London in April 1987. He has an HND in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Plymouth University and a BSc.(Hons) degree in Computer Information Systems from Liverpool University.
Being involved in one of the major millennium bug testing projects in early 1999 meant being commissioned for a year as a Professional IT consultant to work on a contract for Winterthur in Brussels, Belgium. Soon after 2000, he managed the corporate website for Sema Group, Schlumberger and thereafter Atos Origin where he was the UK web communications manager for all their international websites.
After Atos, Brandon saw an opportunity to work in his father’s company, importing and distributing orthopaedic products and creams every month by multiple containers and distributing them to all the UK’s independent pharmacies. In 2003 he set up the country’s first Mobility Aids company to distribute over 800 mobility lines to all the independent pharmacies in the UK, at the same time working as a Pharmaceutical OTC buyer for the UK’s largest independent pharmaceutical wholesaler, single-handedly setting up the Amazon division and growing it to £2million within a few years.
After a long career in admin/sales & marketing within the healthcare industry, he decided to change paths to pursue his passion in the creative world, as well as look for opportunities within creative entertainment industries (Film/TV specifically).
Brandon focuses more on the creative side of photography and graphic design-work emphasising his photos with a unique look and feel using tools and techniques on both mobile phone and computer. His specialities include 360 degree photographs, as well as landscape and lifestyle images and is proficient using Adobe Photoshop and Affinity Design & Photo, and he has also used Adobe Premiere for various small projects.
In his spare time, Brandon enjoys e-skating, watching action, and mystery films, reading self-improvement books and keeping abreast of all the latest news in the 360 cameras, technology and Photoshop world.
Brandon also works as an IT consultant as well as designing and selling niche t-shirts and apparel through his shop ChilliPea Co. and as of early 2022 has launched a new ‘laser display’ events business, VisionLight Events.
