I undertake commercial photoshoots for design, content agencies and all types of businesses and corporations. These photoshoots range from simple headshots to editorial portraits suitable for the media. From images that tell the story of your business through to national campaigns. I pay close attention to listen and understand your needs. Careful planning enables me to achieve optimal results and capture the right ‘feel.’
When commissioned by design and advertising agencies or when working directly with organisations, I take great care to understand my client needs so that I can achieve the best results that work for them. Bringing creativity, enthusiasm and technical knowledge to every commercial photoshoot, I work hard to turn my clients’ ideas into an inspiring visual reality. I enjoy the challenge of reflecting on a company’s core values through photography.
Great imagery can make a real difference in how the general public perceives a business. This, in turn affects how they interact with it. Working with design agencies or with smaller businesses directly, I pride myself on listening to my clients. I ask the right questions and collaborate to ensure the produced imagery reflects the company’s ethos. It also needs to convey the intended message effectively.
Working together we can build a visual identity for your business. It can be used across marketing and advertising campaigns, social media and websites. I am always happy to meet up and discuss your ideas. Please take a look at the examples of campaigns I’ve already shot below.
I work on locations all across the North of England. Areas covered include Manchester, Sheffield, York, Liverpool, Birmingham, Preston, Warrington as well as Yorkshire, in Leeds and Hull.
If you are interested in a commercial photoshoot, please contact me on 01484 512484 or email me at mail@clairewood.com. We can discuss your ideas and arrange a quote. I look forward to hearing from you! Together we can create stunning images for your business.
