Social Media Headshots

Social media is today a massive part of life, there is no escape. It is used to communicate with clients, customers, family and friends. While our professional and personal lives are often very different, the images we use to represent these separate lives in many cases are not.

We have all got connections on Facebook or Linkedin that are high up in business but use a blurred selfie taken at 1am in a bar as their headshot. In many cases its surprising that after a meeting they add you on Linkedin and the image they use is a stark contrast to the professional person you just met.

A Passion for Pictures

Photography is more than just a business, its a passion. Whether in the studio, at a family gathering or out taking part in activities I love. Outside of work a camera is almost always a part of me. It can be in the form of my SLR,compact digital camera or phone.

In the studio, out and about or on the trails in Northumberland, there is always a camera that can capture a moment, record an event or document a chance meeting.

Studio Celebrates 3rd Birthday

This week see's the 3rd birthday of the studio and the end of yet another eventful year of photography.

Despite the economic difficulties the studio has kept up its growth with new clients arriving and many existing clients continuing to make use of the studio's services.Over the last year studio team has grown to include a photographic assistant and a regular stylist to ensure that our clients growing needs continue to be met.

A Bright Future

Photography is an integral part of any business, but for those with products to sell it is imperative that the products are shot well to ensure customers that are unable to see the products in the flesh can get a feel for them and make a decision on purchasing based purely on specification and the photography.

A recent shoot for local LED lighting firm GlowLed has highlighted the value of good product photography as it has triggered a response exceeding the expectations of the business.

Arzhang Tahmosybayat of GlowLed said "LED Lights are not the easiest thing to photograph but we feel we found the right man for the job.

Philip provided Glowled with an excellent service, in keeping with our brief and delivered images quickly and efficiently. This has already significantly improved our professional image, helped with our PR/Marketing and we have since had numerous enquiries for our energy efficient LED lighting."

Arzhang went on to say that within 2 weeks of the shoot and incorporating the resulting images into their marketing the number of enquiries had significantly increased, the photography almost immediately paying for itself in sales and lead generation.

In todays market it is increasingly important to ensure that photography and marketing budgets are increased rather than cut. There has never been a more important time to effectively promote and represent your products and services to your target market.
