The perils of DIY photography to promote your business

18th April 2011

Choosing the right person or trade for the job is a rule which most people adopt.

When you are running a business, you would hire the right staff, accountant, managers etc.. to make sure that the running of your enterprise is economic, successful and of course profitable.

When it comes to photography, the " image " of your business and reputation rests upon the quality of the work produced.

In times when you may be looking at saving costs to your business, never be tempted to go down the DIY photography route. Unless you possess the experience, skill, and equipment of a professional photographer then the result may be far from acceptable.

Businesses in Leeds and Yorkshire are diverse and encompass many areas. The Yorkshire region boosts a vibrant Food industry, everything from small artisans to larger businesses supplying supermarkets & larger outlets.

Marketing and promoting your Food product is all about the visual, how it looks to the potential customer?.

You may use the finest ingredients from local sources etc.. but if the Food Photography on show to your clients & customers is poor and shots are produced without the skills of a Food Photographer in Leeds then the results could be terrible for your business.

A client of Phillip Shannon Photography, recently gave a great quote after their most recent food photography shoot.

" Working with Phillip to produce the images of my product is always money well spent. You recieve the great skill of a professional which reflects in the images produced."

So, as you can see, from a clients point of view the costs incurred when producing the commercial food photography of your product it is an investment for the future success of your business.

They went on to say:

"I often recieve great comments on the images and as people eat with their eyes I get sales and leads into companys when we produce the images"
