What Lisa Pritchard Agency / LPA does

Lisa Pritchard Agency (LPA) is a London-based commercial photographers and videographers agency founded in 2002 by Lisa Pritchard. The agency represents a curated roster of established and emerging photographers spanning lifestyle, food and drink, still life, portrait, documentary, and motion disciplines, serving advertising agencies, design firms, branding agencies, and direct business clients. The agency operates a multi-service model anchored by core representation, supplemented by an in-house production unit (LPA Production) that handles full photoshoot execution from casting and location scouting through delivery.

The business model combines commission-based earnings on photographer representation with professional-services revenue from production work. Ancillary service lines include LPA Futures (a biennial competition and talent-development programme running 16 years, providing 2-year representation plus over £10,000 in partner prizes), Portfolio Reviews (one-to-one industry feedback), and a Pop Up Agent service for unagented photographers. Named clients span Waitrose, Cadbury, NatWest, Aviva, Dove, English Heritage, the National Theatre, and Save the Children. The agency is founder-owned, privately held, has no external funding or parent company, and operates with 1-10 employees from a recently relocated Soho office.
