Homestyle Windows, Rookery Mead, June 2025

One shoot, a whole set of pictures

We photographed this dormer bungalow for Homestyle Windows as part of the same project as the homeowner’s film. Wide views set the scene; closer frames show the product and the workmanship. Here are nine frames from the shoot, with three of them marked up.

The right photograph answers a question

A customer judging an installation needs to see both the finished space and the detail of the workmanship. A wide view provides the setting; a closer frame can explain the material, junction or finish. We agree what the photographs need to show, then plan the subjects and direction accordingly.

Shoot planning and image libraries

An image can be excellent and still be difficult to use if its composition leaves no room for a headline or can’t suit the intended page. We work through the website, press, brochure and advertising requirements before the shoot, including alternative framing and important detail shots. After selection and editing, we organise the agreed files for delivery. Formats, usage and the handover are part of the brief, so your team can find the right photograph when it needs it.

Fire Doors Complete

Portraits people recognise

Fire Doors Complete wanted to be seen as the go-to authority on UK fire doors. Photography and film were part of its new website, partly to raise the profile of its founder and managing director, Neil Ashdown.

Portraits deserve their own consideration. People should look comfortable and recognisable, with a setting that helps introduce the work they do.

Photography scope

We photograph products, completed installations, architecture, workplaces and people, with art direction, selection and editing included in the agreed production. Bring the material you need to create and the gaps in your current imagery. We can plan photography and filming together where that makes practical sense.

What you can expect

  • Shoot planning and art direction
  • People and workplace photography
  • Product and project photography

Questions about photography

If your question isn’t here, call 01934 808132 or email [email protected].

Can you photograph and film on the same day?

Often, yes. We plan both in one production so the photographer and the camera crew aren’t competing for the same light and the same room, and we allow enough time to do each properly.

How do we receive the photographs?

As an organised, edited set in the formats you agreed in the brief, ready for the website, print, the press and advertising. We agree those uses before the shoot, so the files you get are the ones you need.

Can you photograph our team?

Yes. Portraits work best when people are comfortable and the setting says something about what they do, so we plan the location and give people time on the day.

Do you photograph finished installations at customers’ homes?

Yes, with the homeowner’s agreement. We arrange the visit with you and the customer, and photograph the finished job alongside any filming.

Yes, where the brief and location suit both. We plan separate capture time and agree the images and footage needed, so the combined production gives each part of the work enough attention.
