Partners

Gary Blakeley and Camilla Blakeley have been involved in producing first-rate publications for thirty years. Gary ran a design practice and Camilla worked as a managing editor. After crossing paths professionally for several years and finding that some of our best work resulted, we set up Blakeley Words+Pictures in 2003.

We work independently or collaboratively, depending on the needs of the project.
