The Team

We have built our studio from the ground up with our blood, sweat and tears and like all good things it just gets better with age. 

Our core team consists of Rupert Cobb, Andrea Hunnisett, Emma Keeys, Ben Simpson and Keith Gatton and between us we have a skill base that covers pretty much every aspect of photography, audio and film production.

Rupert Cobb

Company Director, DP & Panasonic Ambassador for EVA1 

Rupert Cobb is often described in the industry as a renaissance man equally at home working at the sharp end of the audio or visual world.

Musician, Record Producer, Film editor, Mix engineer; the list is endless. “It’s not that I’m a Jack of all trades, it’s far simpler than that. Once you understand it’s all wave forms, skills within the art are pretty transferable. A waveform is a waveform whether you’re playing the trumpet or pointing a light. A lens is a microphone for your eyes, it’s all more similar than you first imagine and when I hear a good song I see pictures to go with it”

After touring throughout the world Rupert found himself more and more working in the studio with prominent and breaking artists producing audio and visual content for every major record label.

Rupert further honed his studio skills during his time on the show 'Live From Abbey Road', recording artists such as The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Paul Simon, Elbow, Muse and Herbie Hancock - most of which was mixed down in his facilities in Sussex.

Andrea Hunnisett

Company Director, Cinematographer & Photographer

Andrea is a uniquely gifted photographer and cinematographer, equally at home in the studio, out in the field, or onstage.  Few can turn their hand to these diverse disciplines with such care, skill and artistic integrity. She has the eye!

From an early age she has always had an interest in motorcycles, having gone to the Isle Of Man TT as a child in the family's Vincent sidecar outfit. Now, her car and motorbike detail photography is considered to be some of the best on the planet.

Andrea's varied career has taken her all over the world and into some of the greatest recording venues. Not only as the photographer but sometimes the musician! She has had the pleasure of shooting BTS for Peter Van Hooke’s creation 'Live from Abbey Road’, which was filmed and recorded for Channel 4 in the UK and  shown in well over 100 territories worldwide, has photographed Elbow for Sky Arts and shot for numerous album covers, including Paul Carrack. She has also photographed the Royal Philharmonic and the list continues …

Emma Keeys

Company Director, Studio Manager & Photographer

Emma spent her early years in the theatre as an award winning actress performing everything from Ayckbourn to Shakespeare before going on to produce and direct pantomime. 

After starting a family, her interests moved into photography and film and she teamed up with Rupert and Andrea to form Gun Hill Studios. 

Emma now photographs some of the world's most prestigious cars (specialising in Aston Martins) and bikes as well as enjoying a product shoot or two along the way. 

Nicknamed 'Admin' by the rest of the crew, Emma is the logistics queen of Gun Hill Studios,

Ben Simpson

Audio Engineer & Sound Design

Graduating with a 2:1 BSc Degree from the University of York, in Music Technology and Electronics with Accreditation from the Institute of Engineering and Technology (EIT), Ben came to us fresh from designing and developing his own range of Simpson Guitar Valve Amplifiers and Electric Guitars. He is the Owner and Founder of Simpson Amplification and can list Paul Carrack and Lee Russell among his many clients.
