Stu Williamson (born 5 August 1956, Oadby, Leicestershire, England) is a photographer based in Leicestershire, UK. He grew up in England but has a mix of Scottish and Irish ancestry. From 1978 to 1980, Stu was drummer for the Scottish pop rock group The Marmalade and performed on their 1978 album Doing It All For You. He then directed his artistic talents towards photography and has continued in this field ever since.
Stu Williamson specialises in monochrome photography and Fine Art portraiture influenced by European Mediaeval Artists. He has gained commissions for architectural photography in Dubai from Giorgio Armani at the Burj Khalifa and the Jumeriah Group’s Burj Al Arab. Stu Williamson has a long list of world class names alongside whom he continues to work. He is also the inventor of the Triflector, a photographic lighting reflector designed to offer the photographer greater versatility.
Stu Williamson has won many photographic awards in Europe which have included Black and White Photographer of the Year, Fine Art Photographer of the Year and Architecture Exterior Photographer of the Year 2010 for his shot of the Burj Khalifa.

Stu Williamson originally set up his Stu Williamson Photography business in Cornwall before moving to Market Harborough, Leicestershire in 1997. In 2006 Stu moved his business to Dubai, based on Jumeirah Beach Road. The Dubai business expanded and currently offers schools photography services as well as commercial and portrait photography.
In 2013, after investment from an entrepreneur friend, Stu sold his majority stake in the Dubai business and subsequently returned to the UK where he continues to build his UK-based photography business from his studio in Kibworth, Leicestershire.
