What a brand engagement covers.
Photography
Headshots, portraits, products, spaces, and the full brand image library, captured to work across web, socials, decks and print for the next twelve months.
Headshots
Brand Library
Brand Videography
Product highlights, testimonials, showcases, events and the brand films that build authority. Story-led, paced, and built to land on the platforms your audience actually watches.
Product
Testimonial
Creative
Personal portrait work, creative edits, time-lapse, and selected animation and AI exploration. The work that keeps the craft sharp.
Portrait
Time-lapse
The work, doing the talking.
Nine recent brand pieces across product, testimonial, walkthrough and event coverage. Shot and cut for the platforms they live on.
And the stills from the same days.
One day, a library out of it.
Headshots, product, spaces, people at work and the video that comes off the same setups. Built to last a year, not a campaign.
Brand image libraryThe set everything else draws on.
A broad, consistent set covering people, product, workspace and detail, graded as one body of work. The point is that twelve months later your website, a deck, a tender and an ad all pull from the same library and still look like one company.
Headshots and portraitsYour team, on the same lighting.
Shot to one lighting setup and one background treatment so a leadership page does not read as six photos taken in six different years. New starters can be matched to it later, which is the difference between a system and a shoot.
Product and detailClean, and in use.
The clean frames a listing or a wholesale catalogue needs, and the in-use frames that actually sell it on socials, shot in the same session so the two sets match rather than being commissioned twice.
Spaces and people at workProof the business is real.
Your premises, your process, your people doing the thing you sell. This is the material that replaces stock, and it is the single biggest lift most brands get from a first shoot.
Video off the same setupsBecause the lights are already up.
Testimonials, product highlights and short brand pieces captured against the setups already built for stills. Running both in one day is most of the reason a combined shoot costs less than two separate ones.
Delivered for every channelSized, cropped, ready.
Full resolution for print, web sized for the site, and vertical crops framed for socials rather than cut out of the middle of a landscape frame. Nothing needs re-editing before it goes out.
The things people ask first.
What does a brand shoot cost?
Every shoot is quoted as a fixed fee against the brief rather than off a rate card, because the number of setups is what drives the day, not the hours.
Tell me what the images have to do, where they will live and when you need them, and the quote comes back with the scope written beside it, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Half day, full day and quarter day rates are set out in the packages guide.
How long until we see anything?
A preview gallery of selects within about three business days, so you have something to work with immediately.
The full graded set lands in ten to fifteen business days depending on volume. Video runs a little longer because of the revision round built into it.
Do we need to hire a studio?
Usually not. Most brand work is better on location, in your actual premises, because that is what makes it yours rather than something anyone could have bought.
I bring a portable setup that handles clean product work on site. Where a brief genuinely needs a studio I book one and roll the hire into the invoice.
How much of our team's time does it take?
Less than people expect. Headshots run about ten minutes a person once the lighting is set, so a team of fifteen is a morning with a schedule rather than a lost day.
The heavier ask is having someone available who can make decisions on the day. That one person saves more time than any amount of pre-planning.
What do we need to prepare?
A shot list agreed in advance, tidy spaces, product ready and clean, and a note on wardrobe if the team is being photographed.
I send a short prep document once the date is locked. It is one page, and following it is worth roughly an extra hour of shooting on the day.
Can we use the images for paid advertising?
Yes. Commercial licensing for your own marketing is included, which covers your website, socials, print, decks and paid media.
The exception worth knowing about is talent. If a shoot involves hired models rather than your own staff, their usage terms are separate and get quoted as their own line.
What if we do not like the photos?
That is a briefing problem, so it gets solved before the camera comes out. We agree the shot list and the look up front, and on a shoot of any size I will show you frames on the day while there is still time to change direction.
Retouching revisions are included on the delivered set. A re-shoot because the brief moved after the fact is quoted separately, and in practice it almost never comes up.
How often should we re-shoot?
Most brands get twelve to eighteen months out of a properly scoped library before it starts to look dated or the team has changed enough to notice.
The cheaper pattern is a smaller top-up shoot each year against the same lighting and treatment, rather than starting from nothing every second year.
