Elsewhere Studio

Photography.
Editing.
Websites.

Three things I do for other people.

The work does not change much
when somebody else pays for it.

Turn up, photograph the place, come back with something that holds up in print and on a screen. If the site the photographs go on needs building too, I can do that part as well.

What the studio does

Photography

Places, people, rooms, food, weather, work.

Photographed on location: rooms, food, interiors, and the people working in them where they are happy to be photographed. Delivered edited.

  • Hotels, restaurants and interiors
  • Travel and destination
  • People at work
  • Food and product in context
  • Editorial documentation

Editing

Working out which ones.

A shoot produces far more photographs than anyone needs. Deciding which ones to use, and in what order, is most of the work. It is what I did to every page here.

  • Image selection and edit
  • Editorial sequencing
  • Campaign and location narrative
  • Visual identity through photography
  • Art direction for a shoot

Websites

Built around the photographs.

Sites where the photographs are the main thing rather than something dropped in at the end. Fast, accessible, and built rather than assembled from a template. I made this one.

  • Hospitality and restaurant sites
  • Portfolio and publication sites
  • Photographic archives and galleries
  • Performance and accessibility work
  • Design and build end to end

Story
& Site.

New photographs, the edit, and the site they go on, as one job instead of three.

It is mainly a practical thing. When the same person takes the pictures, chooses them and builds the page, the pictures decide the layout rather than the other way round.

Scope and cost are quoted per project. There is no package price, because there is no standard project.

This site is
the portfolio.

Everything here was photographed on location, and I built the pages as well. The archive, the viewer, the destination chapters and Black & White are the sample.
