Early Life
Lloyd Wakefield grew up in Manchester, England in the United Kingdom. Little is known about his early life but Wakefield grew up aspiring to be a football player, also known as soccer in the United States. His football career unfortunately came to an end leading him to turn to retail. Just prior to landing his job as one of Harry Styles's tour photographers, Wakefield was bagging groceries at an Aldi. He would often make use of his photography skills after shifts by capturing life around him. This soon led to filming advertising videos for brands and companies in hopes of creating a portfolio for exposure. Wakefield shortly after found himself working with agencies that sent him to photograph fashion weeks around the world. But, COVID put a damper on his fresh career, which helped him regroup and adjust his portfolio to his liking. When the world inevitably saw a little bit of normalcy again, Wakefield was able to continue his career in photography, but little did he know that this time it would completely change his life fort he better.

Career
Lloyd Wakefield began touring with Harry Styles in 2022 and finished capturing the same tour in July of 2023. Wakefield has received endless positive feedback from fans of Styles, who in turn are now his fans as well. It all began when he did the behind the scenes photos for Styles's music videos "Late Night Talking" and "As It Was." Wakefield is counted on by fans to capture pictures of Styles's iconic outfits, whether they are on stage, in a music video, or from backstage and behind the scenes of sets and concerts. Lloyd's photographs are loved by fans because they are able to see those pictures at any time forever. Fans can be reminded of possibly one of the best nights and/or concerts of their lives. When Wakefield shares what he has captured of Styles with the world, fans love to adore what outfit is being worn in the picture. The outfits range from glitter to sparkle to leather to cotton. Fans and social media gain energy from seeing what Harry Styles is wearing, down to the brand and amount of sequins and sparkle. Lloyd Wakefield gets to capture this all with the click of a button on his camera. Right after Styles finishes his show, Wakefield goes straight to his computer with the SD card to edit all the photos for a few hours to get them out to the world as soon as possible.
