About Us

What can we do for you?

We can bring excellence, enthusiasm and experience to bear on your commercial photography needs.

Excellence comes from knowing how best to use top quality lenses and equipment to capture the photographs you need to promote your business.

Enthusiasm is the quality we seem to have in greater abundance as the years go by – we love our work, and believe it shows in the final product.

Experience – they say you can’t beat it – and they have a point. Your photo shoot will benefit from the years we have spent shooting people, objects and places under all kinds of conditions.

Another important ‘E’ is education. We have had a formal design and photography education at Art School, University and participating in many courses, seminars and workshops since.

An abiding interest in art, design, architecture, food and wine brings a certain sensibility to the way we approach our work.

We have wide experience of photography, graphic design, web design and publishing and each discipline informs and enriches the other.

Call us to discuss what we can bring to your project.
