Acting career

Edmunds has worked in film, television, theatre, commercials and standup comedy - most notably in the main cast role of Peter, the hapless deputy manager, in the British comedy series Hotel Getaway. In Hotel Getaway, the actors' performances were completely improvised, whilst numerous hidden cameras captured the footage. On film he acted alongside Toyah Willcox and Shirley Anne Field in the feel-good comedy feature The Power of Three. Prior to that he worked on a number of short films – playing the Newscaster in Car Stories by Hungarian auteur Krisztina Goda, the lead role of Tony in Killing Time by BAFTA award-winning screenwriter Ed Whitmore and an emotionally charged performance as the co-lead, playing The Gardener in Lost Property by Isabelle Livingstone. On the London stage he has appeared in several productions, playing roles as diverse as a forensic psychologist in Doomsday and a barfly in Time Out Critics’ Choice, Blue Eyes Red. Edmunds also performed stand-up in London and has featured as an in-vision performer in TV commercials for brands such as Nissan, Specsavers, Disney, Amazon and MTV.

Photography and art

Edmunds started out painting with watercolour and later studied technical drawing as part of his engineering qualifications. He states that "photography offered the perfect blend of art and science". He travelled with his engineering work and found urban artistic inspiration in New York, Paris, Tokyo and Toronto. His first photography exhibition, titled "Cross Section", took place at Putney Library, London from June 14 to July 4, 2015. In July 2017, his photograph of a running group in Delamere Forest, Cheshire won third prize in the PEFC UK & Ireland competition and was then put forward for the PEFC International "2017 PEFC Photographer of the Year" award. His photographs are featured on the BBC News website and the Vogue website, with his image Rethink I being selected by the PhotoVogue curators for the daily Best Of collection. Saatchi Art featured Edmunds' photographs in three curated collections during 2015; New Photography, Limited Edition Photographs and Inspired by Impressionism. His photographic artworks have been collected across four continents.
