INFORMATION
Ned Botwood is a British creative director, director and photographer.
His work is warm and nostalgic, characterised by a quiet atmosphere, honest conversation, sweeping landscapes and an evocative use of colour.
He broke out with ‘Happy Pride, from the Middle of Nowhere’, a documentary for British Vogue taking on the misconception that queer people don’t belong in rural places.
He cast the film word-of-mouth, and traveled across the UK in a van, meeting seven people living on the rural fringes of the UK.
The film was nominated for a 1.4 Award, as well as Best Low Budget Film at Ciclope.
His follow-up, ‘First Acts’ for British Vogue and Tiffany, was nominated for a Craft Award at the British Arrows.
More recently, he's directed music videos for Henry Moodie, Metronomy and Katy J. Pearson, the latter of which was featured by Eye Candy.
And served as creative director for artists including Junodream, Talia Rae and Jasmine Jethwa, working with young musicians to develop a cohesive visual direction.
Ned was born and lives in London. He wrote this bio in the third person to sound a big deal.
He has a vivid childhood memory of an empty pair of jeans running across a lawn.
He’s not positive this actually happened, but he hopes it did.
