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.

Trade shows help food businesses connect with customers

It is no doubt that any business needs a positive connection with its customers, whether you are a small local store or a city centre office your business success depends upon new and existing customers coming through the door or somehow purchasing your product or service.

In the food industry one of the great ways to connect with new customers is through trade shows, exhibitions, or even you're own open day.

As we look at the year before us, a great deal of food exhibitions, trade shows, food fairs and local events are taking place from Leeds to Los Angeles.

A great deal of variety exists in the world of trade shows, from the mega-complex's of a national exhibition space, to rural or local events where only a handful of stall holders are involved, whatever the event is, the ambition for your food business should be the same.

    1.    What are the fundamentals about my product that I need to convey
    2.    How do I communicate that to my customer
    3.    If I am selling at the show, is my price point competitive
    4.    How do I retain my customers long term
    5.    Do my competitors have a more successful product?, if so, why?


Needless to say the list could go on, but these 5 points are made for you to look at your food business and ask questions about how you communicate with the lifeblood of your business - your customer.
