Presenting the Perfect Image

Looking for some compelling professional photography to present the perfect image of your organisation?

I can help with creative images for your commercial portraits, corporate, workplace, events and PR photography needs.

Please contact me at any time - day, evenings or weekends - to chat over your requirements.

Portraits

People Like to Deal with People

• Can your prospects and clients see who is driving your business?
• Do you have photos of your key people on your website or in your brochures?
• Do amateur snapshots on your site reflect your professionalism?

People like to deal with people. Show yourself to your prospects. Commercial portrait sessions in your offices or in my studio start at £85.

Corporate

Brochures...Web Images...Annual Reports...Marketing Materials...

Using Stock Photography on your Website Can do More Harm than Good

• "Stock people on a website decreases your credibility. No, I haven't done extensive studies on this, but I can spot stock photos of people from a mile off, and sites with it are much less likely to get my money than a site with a REAL picture of REAL people on it. Yes, I may be a little more savvy than your average web consumer; but how long do you think it will be until they catch up? Do you ALWAYS treat your customers like they're idiots? Do you really think they believe you dress in a suit everyday and your skin is flawless?" - Marketing Consultant Todd Malicoat

Let me photograph your REAL people in your REAL business situations. Put a little more faith in your product and services and don't use stock imagery on your website or in your brochures.

Workplace

Internal Meetings...Seminars...Products...Operations...Services

 

Good Photos Have the Appearance of Candid Shots and Create Interest

• I enjoy the challenge of working with people in a large range of environments and locations
• I work fast and to a brief in a reportage style catching the best of your business, operations and people.

I'm always thinking about interesting actions or environments

Events

Awards...Conferences...Dinners...Workshops...Sports

Editors and Publicists are bored by 'Grip and Grin'

• I don't do 'Grip and Grin'!
• I capture the fun and emotion of your events producing memories for your team and clients and reflecting the best image of your organisation

PR Tip - Spend a Little Extra on Photography

• When readers open a brochure, their eyes flick over the headlines, images and captions before getting into the meat of the stories. Pictures are gateways to the real news and any stories that carry them have an unfair advantage when it comes to capturing the reader's attention.
• Press releases sent with pictures are also more seductive for editors. Publications like to use pictures throughout to make their pages look more interesting.

Pricing

I charge by the hour, 1/2 day or day dependent on the scale of job and location.

My commercial rates average out at:

• £85 for the first hour, £65 per hour thereafter
• £245 per half day
• £445 per full day

I will deliver within 48 hours all the photos I take (less those deemed unsuitable) as high-resolution images on CD as well as uploading them to your private web gallery. All images will have been exposure checked and colour balanced. Copyright in the images transfers to you on payment of my invoice so you may use them in any way you want without further payment to me. I can of course deliver prints in all sorts of formats at sensible prices.

I work predominantly on location, but I also have my portrait studio in the Royal William Yard in Plymouth. I am happy to travel nationally and internationally for projects.
