Summer School & Camp Photography

Phil Sills at OxEvents specialises in high-end photography and videography for premium summer camps hosted at prestigious university campuses and private schools.

Through his lens, he captures the intellectual energy and vibrant campus life of academic intensive courses, pre-university courses, and professional development retreats for older children, teens, students, and adults.

Working with Phil was a genuinely great experience from start to finish. He was incredibly spot on in understanding exactly what we wanted and took the time to really listen to our ideas and the outcome we were hoping to achieve. It’s rare to find a photographer who makes you feel so heard and involved in the creative process. Phil communicated clearly throughout, keeping us updated every step of the way and making everything feel smooth and stress-free. His professionalism and attention to detail really stood out. Overall, an absolute pleasure to work with, and I would happily recommend him to others.
