Business Photography in Mansfield

Real photographs are one of the highest-return things a small business can put on a website, and one of the most consistently skipped. The premises, the team, the vans, the work in progress, the finished job.

It matters most for trades and services sold on trust. Somebody deciding whether to let you into their house wants to see what you look like and what your work looks like. Stock images of an unrelated smiling man in a hard hat do the opposite of reassuring.

We shoot it, we deliver it optimised for web use, and we make sure the file sizes will not wreck your page speed.

What to photograph, in order of value

If the budget only stretches to a half day, do these:

• The team, individually and together. People buy from people.
• The premises or workshop from outside, so customers recognise it when they arrive.
• Two or three completed jobs, well lit and properly framed.
• Work in progress — this is the content that performs best on social.
• Vehicles with livery, which doubles as proof you are an actual business.

Doing it yourself, properly

Modern phone cameras are genuinely good, and we would rather you took decent photos yourself than paid us for something you can do. Three rules cover most of it: shoot near a window with the light behind you, wipe the lens first because it is always smeared, and take four times as many as you think you need.

What phones still cannot do well is consistent product photography across a range, and interiors that need balancing against bright windows. Those are worth paying for.

What affects the price

From £95 is a genuine starting point, not a teaser. Here is what moves it, so you can work out roughly where you would land before you ring us.

• Half day or full day on site
• How many products, people or locations
• Whether retouching beyond basic correction is needed
• Travel, if you are outside the immediate area
