Here you can read the most recent and hopefully interesting aspects of my commercial and advertising photography. I am a photographer based in Leeds West Yorkshire and have spent all my working career in this area, working in studio shooting a huge variety of subjects including food photography, still life, product, jewellery and people & also on location the length and breadth of the UK. 

I have a very down to earth, hard working ethic towards my professional photography. Delivering the right photographic image that you need for your marketing campaign or advertisement whether it is company brochure, website or bill board poster is my goal.

Your business may produce a product or provide a service. Whatever the outcome one thing is vital.

Strong relationships with your current and future customers & clients are the way forward to your business progressing.

The answer to this key question is strong and relevant communication.

The images that represent your business online and in brochures or other marketing material are your shop window to the outside world. This is usually how you first communicate with your customer when you do not meet them face to face.

More and more businesses are taking advantage of the positive results and experiences of selling online, the successful ones are those which engage with the viewer, providing strong, relevant and professionally produced images and design.

When people are navigating the internet, they are attracted firstly by the visual and the images which catch their eye will be the ones which will keep the interest of the new customer long enough so they can continue to read about you, your business and products or services.

Poor representation of your products or business in general, through poor photography will mean the customer will often skip past your website and move onto the next.

Using Product Photography to Increase sales.

Photography & Business Phillip Shannon Photography

Using Product Photography to Increase sales

Product photography is all around us, in fact it has become so common place that in a way we do not notice it.

We are bombarded by thousands of images everyday, TV, magazines, internet. The internet now accounts for one of the largest areas of visual input, particularly now, as more and more of us use the internet on the move via smart phones. This is nothing new I hear you cry, but the impact of how the images are seen & used in the promotion we view is now more important than ever.

Standing out from the crowd has always been a mantra many businesses use, but now the entry level for image standards has been raised much higher than what was, say 5 years ago.

Creating a professional look to the photography that represents your business is vital to the success it has in engaging your customer.

The rewards from using professional imagery on your business website or brochure is tenfold compared to using poor amateur shots which will only have a negative effect on the customer experience.

Professional Photographers are highly skilled at taking a simple object, a companies product and expertly photographing it so that it answers the photographic brief.

If you take a simple object such as a bottle of beer or packet of crisps for example, some may think this is an everyday item, and it must be straight forward to shoot?.People may perceive it to be an easy thing got do in many cases and business owners may even attempt to shoot product photography themselves as they have access to a digital camera.

Photographing a glass bottle must allow the viewer to believe that it is a real glass bottle, not an illustration, and also be able to clearly read the label of the product.

If you have ever tried to photograph anything in glass or plastic packaging, then you will know that controlling highlights, mid tones and shadows is where the photographer skill is shown to its best.

Here you can see examples of simple and more creative product and pack shot photography.
