  • Launching a franchise with photography

  • Even when you have a brand like Goodyear Dunlop behind you, telling the world about your new launch is still a matter of showing who you are and the difference you make. To steal a motoring analogy, HiQ, the tyres, parts and servicing people, are burning rubber right now. They’ve launched a n[...]
  • The complete picture?

  • Just because it isn't open/ready/finished doesn’t mean a professional commercial photographer can’t give your customers the complete picture. Sometimes, my role as a commercial photographer in Preston isn’t about showing what is; it’s about showing what could be. Here’s an example. The Design[...]
  • Shooting from the saddle

  • How lifestyle photography can show the breadth and power of what you do. Think commercial photography and you probably think sedate. A boardroom profile here, a product shot of something inanimate there. If there’s exercise involved it’s probably just the walk I get between subject and camera[...]
  • Blackpool event photography hits the jackpot

  • PR experts Havas turn a new menu into a social event, and ask me to head to Blackpool to cover the event photography. You see, this is why you ask for help from a PR company. Where you might launch your new casino restaurant menu with a degree of fanfare, Havas PR runs a competition where you[...]
  • The perfect party for the camera shy

  • If you go down to the woods this weekend, you’re sure of a big surprise. Ashdown Park in East Sussex is a special place. The woodland that surrounds the country house hotel is said to be the inspiration for Winnie the Pooh’s Hundred Acre Wood, but this weekend the party will be rather more su[...]
  • Commercial product photography on ice

  • Shooting frozen food means you have to work fast… It’s funny how one job can lead to another. Some years ago I shot Deborah Barnes’s wedding in Preston. Since then she’s kindly recommended me for a whole lot more weddings – and those people recommended me to other people. And so it has progre[...]
  • Lifestyle photography, take 2

  • Is lifestyle photography a London thing? In a recent post I talked about the difference between ‘standard’ corporate photography (the things you do/make/sell) and lifestyle photography (the difference your products/services make to the end user, and the mood/feelings they evoke). Well, MyT[...]
  • Product shots find inner peace

  • When your business is built on keeping mind and body in perfect balance, your product imagery needs to strike the right balance too. Maharishi Ayurveda is built on the principles of Ayurvedic medicine established in India thousands of years ago and believed to be the world’s oldest healthcare[...]
  • Are you making the most of lifestyle photography?

  • Do your images show the things you do – or the difference you make? That’s the power of lifestyle photography. This week I’ve been poolside, slide-side and gym-side, capturing images for leisure chain MyTime, the innovative health and wellbeing organisation that’s busy changing people’s lives[...]
  • Your family, gift wrapped this Christmas

  • With a Winter Wonderland portrait, your Christmas portrait photography doesn’t have to be Christmassy. This post is about Christmas portraits, but I figure I’d best explain what I mean by that. You see, mention ‘Christmas portrait’ to some people and thoughts automatically turn to the sort of thi[...]
