Professional photography for small businesses and online marketing
What does your brand say about you?
Building your business means communicating effectively to your customers and staff with appropriate images for your web site and printed work. I will work with you to create a package where, either as a one off fee or a monthly retainer, we can photograph all your stock or whatever you want promoted. Being a busy business you may not have the time or the skills to create what you are looking for with your own digital camera - this is where I can help you. Marketing, PR and Advertorial photography requires experience and a high degree of project management skills. Below are a list of some of my customers and the latest business photography projects...
Inhouse Promotions
Richardson amusement arcades wanted a DVD slide show shown around their venues promoting the over 18's area, trying to pull more people into this lucrative part of their business, so I was asked to create images - along with a film crew - that would look fun, young and exciting. The finshed DVD was shown on large screens promoting their business.
Online Retailers
With over 2000 stock items, this online retailer became too busy to keep photographing there own stock and they wanted to move to the next level with their brand image, so they called me in for a chat. We agreed a monthly retainer for several months working only the hours that suited them and started upgrading their web images. Why not take a look...www.siiren.co.uk
Stanley Casinos
With a total prize money of £60,000 all the fun and excitement of this national competition had to be caught for internal and external publicity. Over the period of 3 days photographs were taken to capture all the excitement and frustration that a poker game can throw at its competitors.
W.A.Shearings
Photographing 45 hotels in the space of just 6 weeks could have been a project management nightmare, but I managed to get all the hotels and their staff ready for each one hour photo shoot. Travelling to all corners of the UK, from The Isle of Wight to Scotland, everything had to be organised and in place, including flights, car hire and ferries! All the images are being used in brochures, web sites and as internal records of each hotel

Heyday
The charity Age Concern wanted to branch out to a larger audience and Heyday was set up to encourage the "baby boomers" to take a more active role in the community. Several large scale exhibitions were organised across the UK with celebrity openings to launch Heyday and I was there to capture all the fun and excitement the exhibitions created. The final images were used for PR.
Majestic Tours
Branching out into events and exhibitions, the coaching and European holidays company wanted publicity images of their latest venture - The National Welsh Choir competition, held at The Riviera International Centre in Torbay. My checklist included getting photographs of winning teams, individuals and capturing the atmosphere of the day.
Torbay Eating Out Guide
Aimed at the tourist visitor this was to be a record of all the restaurants advertising in the guide, the type of food they presented and type of atmosphere they could promise the visiting diners. Approximately 40 restaurants were visited and each had to be presented differently. Quite a task but a successful one!
"That's Entertainement" Guide
I am the official photographer for the guide and it includes visiting local attractions and gigs to capture all the fun of the event, as well as creating publicity shots for future events.
"WOW" - Gerry Cottle's Circus Theatre Show
The circus empressario and marketing genuis, Gerry Cottle, needed someone who could capture still images taken in difficult lighting conditions during the show for use in publicity to take the show to London and also help promote his new hotel at "Wookey Hole Caves" in Somerset.
The Firemans Calendar
A charity calendar to raise funds for a children's charity on behalf of Devon Fire & Rescue Services. £500 was raised in the first day of selling the calendars at a local "open day". It took just a couple of hours to take all the photographs and just a little longer for the firemen to cover their bodies in baby oil!!
Newtons Furniture
Over 200 items of classic French style furniture had to be photographed against a white back-drop and cut out in photoshop for use in various marketing packages, from direct mail to web pages. Also, room sets had to be staged for large print promotions including national glossy magazine spreads.
"I am loving your work", Mrs Edmonds, Creative Manager for Newtons Furntiure
