An award-winning photographer is in focus once more after being recognised on the global stage. Denise Brady, owner of Lowestoft-based Denise Brady Photography, has gained international recognition as one of the top international women entrepreneurs of 2026 at the International Women Awards. She received the award in recognition of her work that has helped businesses elevate their visibility through powerful, story-led imagery. Known across East Anglia for her work in branding, food, events and commercial photography, Mrs Brady established her photography business in Lowestoft in 2013. Having built her business from scratch, she has used photography not just as a creative service, but as a tool for visibility and growth for other local businesses. From what started as wedding photography, Mrs Brady said her business has been built around a simple belief — that strong visuals don’t just look good, they actively drive business growth. She said: “Photography isn’t just about taking pictures. “It’s about helping businesses be seen properly — to connect with their audience and stand out in a crowded market.” This latest recognition for the award-winning photographer comes after she was a customer service finalist in the Suffolk Small Business Awards last year. Now having gained global recognition in the 2026 International Women’s Awards, it highlights not only her creative work, but also Mrs Brady's impact on local businesses - many of whom rely on high-quality imagery to attract customers, secure bookings and build their brand presence. With her journey into photography having been shaped by determination and a passion for storytelling, Mrs Brady continues to work with entrepreneurs, venues and hospitality businesses as she helps them to showcase what they do best through carefully crafted visual content.
