Website photography

Your website is your showcase, your high gloss brochure, professional photography will do your work justice and have your client’s imagination running away with them, my home, my project could look like that!

Why choose me, The Trade Photographer

Booking regular photoshoots to showcase your work is your first step towards a brand that your clients will recognise as a business of high quality and professional standards.

Once you have finished a job your brain is instantly onto the next project; you may have snapped a few shots on your phone, is that good enough?  Simply put, no it’s not.  If you want to stand out from the crowd, make sure your projects are professionally photographed.  I will photograph the project completed or in stages using the best tools for the job a professional full frame, digital single-lens reflex camera.  The perspective will be correct, colours and daylight balanced.

I am an experienced photographer and have worked with many different trades, builders, plumbers, decorators, scaffolders, yes, they had reservations and thought their phone images were ok, did I change their minds…yes, I did.  I have photographed these trades at work, showing high standards of professionalism and health and safety on site.   Whilst on site I can take headshots and team shots so your potential clients can meet the team.

For 15 years I have photographed people, places events and products, my skill is being versatile and communicating with people making them feel at ease, and using my knowledge of photography to show your business, the people and the finished projects to a high standard you will be proud of.

Scott Osborne, Osborne Developments

After using several photographers for the final photos of my building projects, I was lucky enough to be put in contact with Harriet. I asked her to do a photo shoot of a previous project I had already completed with another photographer, and the difference in her professionalism and quality of photography was clear from the start. I have complete confidence that I have found the right photographer and have been asked by several other local builders for her contact details, as they want to use her services.  This speaks for itself.
