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
01
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
02
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
03
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
The full commission
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.
