David Proud

I’m a writer and actor with a deep love for storytelling in all its forms. As a writer on Coronation Street and an actor in projects like LIFT on Netflix (as Harry), I’ve spent nearly two decades shaping narratives onscreen. In 2021, I was honoured as a BAFTA Breakthrough Artist and currently serve on the BAFTA Film Committee — experiences that have shaped how I see the world. Photography has long been a quiet passion, running alongside my screen work. Whether I’m exploring the stillness of a street corner or the chaos of human expression, I’ve always been drawn to capturing the moments that might otherwise go unseen. For years, these images lived hidden away on hard drives — personal snapshots of how I experience light, movement, and meaning. Now, I’m sharing them. Not for ego, but because I believe that stories deserve to be seen — whether told through script or shutter. This is my world through the lens. I hope it speaks to yours.
