Schools Portfolio





My guess is that you are reading this because of the image above and I'm sure when you saw it you had a positive reaction to it!

This picture came from a batch taken during a ‘European Day’ I was at the school for only an hour, and over the course of a year, the school has used the picture on their website, in a newsletter, on a poster, in the local paper and in some of their advertising. It cost them less than £70! and as well as this image they received a whole disc of images royalty free, to use however they wish. Imagine the little girl’s parents delight at being presented with a copy by the school!

Think of the power a single photograph can have on your parents or, better still, prospective parents. One picture can grab a person’s attention and draw them into your school’s newsletter or website, those such as the one above really are worth a thousand words. It's very clear that the child is having a great time in a safe environment and that she is enjoying learning. The picture says it all, making it perfect for school publications.

I have over ten years experience of working within school environments and capturing the unique personality of schools. If you are after just one ‘cracking’ picture to accompany a press release or a three day shoot to illustrate your new website, then please have a look through the ‘Schools Portfolio’ and give me a call to have a chat about your needs.


School Production Photography



School productions are very special times, who doesn't remember being in their school play! These special times are very hard to capture on today's small compact digital cameras. This is due to the size of the lens and the lack of available light. I have years of experience taking pictures in the professional theatre as well as amateur theatre. In particular I have experience of taking pictures in very low light situations. Why not book me for one of your dress rehearsals? I can provide a disc of images and even set up a purchasing site for the cast and parents.
