Schools photography
Whether you’re a college, school or pre-school you may need quality, authentic, engaging photography - to illustrate a prospectus, update your website and online marketing, capture an event, accompany a press release, for portraits of staff and students, or to market your school in any number of ways, from socials to billboards. I’m easy to plan with and know how to work flexibly and responsibly with all ages of children and young people, as well as with busy staff, fitting into your school program to make the pictures you need.
During many years, first as a newspaper photographer, and then for producing marketing photography for clients, I’ve huge experience working with young people within educational institutions. I’m good at putting children, young people, and staff, at ease, enabling eye catching pictures to be made that bring out their best and meet the marketing brief and picture purpose. And I always try and minimise any disruption to the school day. Making pictures is a collaborative process. Meeting me, and seeing me work, students seem to gain confidence that I’ll portray them well.
I’m DBS certified to work with Children and Adults and belong to the update service. On request a reference can be obtained from a school with whom I’ve worked.
I’ll work to your brief, producing multiple creative choices to ensure satisfaction. The enduring charm and interest for me in making pictures is that every job is different. Like anything creative, making images is a process. I’ll make sure I fully understand the commission, consulting on the purpose of the images - where, why and how they may be used - and as needed, assisting in planning how best pictures might be made, to construct a shoot, a visit, to cost effectively accomplish your brief. I’m friendly, and easy to work and consult with (so I’ve been told), and I enjoy each picture challenge.
Finished images are delivered quickly on a secure login protected contact sheet - if required same day. They’re provided, first in high resolution for best quality print and display, then copied at low resolution for social media and sharing.
