What Can Professional Commercial Photography Do For Your Business?

In business, you rely on specialists to ensure jobs are done to the highest standards. You entrust your accounts to a professional accountant. Your marketing activity is probably overseen by an experienced manager or director. And your legal matters will certainly be in the hands of qualified solicitors.

So why should your commercial photography be any different?

Too many businesses rely on badly executed photography taken by a non-professional. Non-professional images convey “non-professional company” – which is the last thing you want.

Based in Manchester, Inside Out Photography (www.insideoutphoto.co.uk) are award-winning commercial photographers with vast experience of commercial photography assignments and now using ultra-high resolution 36.3 meg pix digital equipment. Here are a few of the ways they’ve seen professionally-shot commercial photography enhance businesses…

Expertly-shot photography of your products

Whether producing small flyers or huge billboard posters, you’ll want the product you’re advertising to look as appealing as possible – and the only way to do this is by using a professional commercial photographer.

Tempting food photography that makes your mouth water. Cutting-edge fashions that you can picture yourself wearing – and looking great in. Industrial machinery parts whose sturdiness and reliability leaps off the page. A professional commercial photographer will know how to achieve the desired affects – helping you to sell, sell, SELL your product.

PR photography at its best

If you work in PR, you’ll know that the right photo can be just as important as the content of your press release – if not more so. A powerful, eye-catching image can make the difference between no coverage at all and that coveted double page spread.

Whether you’re communicating a product launch, financial results or new appointments, make sure your photography tells your story – and tells it well. Using a commercial photographer will give you the best opportunity of securing the coverage you desire.

Tourism and travel photography that makes you wish you were there

Holiday snaps are all well and good, but when it comes to really selling a destination, they just don’t cut it. Professional travel photography should make you step into the picture and be experiencing the delights within it right away.

A professional commercial photographer will know how to make the character of the destination really shine through, whether it’s a golden beach, historic building or scenic view. From contemporary, creative images to more traditional shots, they’ll help sell your destination with high-quality photography.

So if your business is in need of commercial photography – and it’s almost certain it will be at some point – speak to Inside Out Photography.

As award-winning commercial photographers with decades of experience, Inside Out have the experience and knowledge to make your commercial photography work its hardest for you. Based in Manchester, but available to work across Europe, their amazing results speak for themselves – so why not take a look at some of their work at www.insideoutphoto.co.uk?

Your Image Is Your Future

Inside Out Photography are long-established, award-winning photographers providing commercial photography for businesses throughout the Manchester region. Here we discuss the importance of good commercial photography…

Image is everything

The image of a company or business is the outward impression you project to your clients, customers and competitors. Whichever way you look at it, we live in an image-focused society. Every day, we make judgments on things we like and don’t like from images that we are shown. For example, the commercial photography behind Marks & Spencer food advertising campaigns has been key to it’s continued success. Whether it’s your company logo, pictures of the products you are selling or a photo of your business premises, a photo or image is often the first impression you make, so it’s important that it’s a good one.  

Shows Professionalism

Displaying high quality, beautiful photos on your company’s websites, brochures and posters sets your company aside as one that values professionalism. If your business is a restaurant, it has become a standard that restaurants should have beautifully taken photographs of the dishes they serve. Not only will this encourage more customers to come through the door, but it shows the customer that you care about your food and how it is presented. A photograph of a beautifully laid out dish is a far more effective selling tool than a brief description.

A good image can sell a product

Never mind detailed descriptions and video demonstrations, if you have a great quality photograph which compliments the product you are selling then it will sell itself. Whether the product you’re selling is a hairdryer or an office to let, it’s hugely important in this day and age that you have top quality images of your product. Web browsers expect the highest quality images, and if they can’t properly see what they are buying, then they’re much more likely to shop elsewhere. It’s a commercial photographer’s job to make your product look appealing to your customers, and employing one can literally mean the difference between making a sale and losing a potential customer. Having great quality commercial images does three things:

  • Shows the customer exactly what they are buying.
  • Shows the customer that your company is trustworthy.
  • Makes it more likely that the customer will buy the product from you now and continue to do so in the future.

If you’re looking for commercial photography in the Manchester area, Inside Out Photography can help. They have decades of experience of providing creative, powerful commercial photography that hits the target both artistically and commercially. You can see samples of their award-winning work at www.insideoutphoto.co.uk, or call 0161 881 3385 for more details.

Your image is your future: trust it to a true professional!

3 Steps to Commercial Photography in Manchester that’s as Perfect as your Product

We’ve all seen product photography that look almost too good to be true. Juicy hamburgers on fast food menus, luscious lips on make-up advertisements, jewellery that seems to sparkle from the catalogue page – how do they do it?

If you’re marketing a product, you’ll need it to look its very best. But if you’ve ever tried to take your own product photography, you’ll know the image in your mind’s eye and the reality of what comes out of your camera can be two very different things.

Manchester-based Inside Out Photography (www.insideoutphoto.co.uk) are award-winning photographers with a wide range of commercial photography experience. They have the skills and know-how to make any product look sexy, no matter how mundane it might be in reality. Here’s their three-step guide to getting perfect product photography – every time.

1. Thinking of doing it yourself? Don’t.

Unless you’re an experienced photographer, it’s highly unlikely you’ll bring out the best of your product if you take your own photos. What’s more, as you’ll already have a pre-defined idea of what your product is and how it looks, you can’t be objective about the best way to photograph it. Employ a commercial photographer from outside your organisation who’s less invested in the product and they’ll see your product in ways you’d never imagine – resulting in more powerful, eye-catching photography.

2. Lights, camera, angles. 

No matter how mundane or pedestrian you think your product is there’s sure to be a way to sex it up. Circuit boards? Cupcakes? Toilet seats? All can produce exciting, vibrant images in the hands of a skilled commercial photographer. They’ll offer a good eye for detail, creative use of angles, the right lighting and extensive knowledge of what works – and what doesn’t.

3. Editing isn’t cheating. 

Don’t be fooled – you can’t turn muck into gold. But you can use photo-editing techniques to turn a great image into an outstanding one. But, as with every aspect of commercial photography, you must be careful. An overly-edited mess won’t appeal to anyone – and could even make it look like you have something to hide. But there’s no shame in touching up and employing appropriate visual effects to ensure your product really shines.

Whether you need product photography for brochures, websites or press launches, Inside Out Photography can help. Based in Manchester, but happy to work on assignments across the UK and Europe, they have extensive experience of providing powerful commercial photography for clients from small Manchester businesses to internationally-famous household names.

Commissioning Photography – Tip 12 – Client Confidentiality!

Commercial photographers often specialise in particular types of industry. It is therefore quite likely that they will have other clients in your line of business.

As commercial photographers we are regularly privy to future business expansion plans, innovative industrial processes, product releases or new contracts. It is essential that YOUR privileged information remains private, if your chosen photographer is willing to give you information about your competitors; it is likely that they will also discuss your plans with others.
