Have you photographed in Reading or Berkshire before?
Not on a published photography job yet. Our Berkshire work so far is video: a promotional film for the Wasing Estate's pumpkin patch and woodland trail near Aldermaston, West Berkshire, about 12 miles south-west of Reading. The photographs on this page were taken in London, Stowmarket and Ipswich, and each one is labelled.
Can you photograph a whole team at our office or business park?
Yes. We set up a consistent background and lighting in a meeting room or by a window, spend a few minutes with each person and check the frames together. Anyone away that day can be photographed later with the same settings so the set still matches.
Do you photograph conferences and seminars?
Yes. We work from your running order and agree which speakers, sponsors and sessions must be covered, then photograph the stage, the audience, the exhibition and the networking, whether the event is in a hotel, on a university campus or at your own offices. At My Home Life England's 20th anniversary in London we photographed the programme while our team also filmed it.
Can you cover our staff party, away day or awards evening?
Yes. For Platinum Cleaning's summer party in Ipswich we covered two hours and delivered 300 edited photographs and a short film. We agree the must-have moments first, such as speeches, awards or the team photograph, and capture the rest naturally.
Can you photograph inside offices, labs and secure sites?
Yes. We complete any induction, follow your PPE and security rules and agree in advance what must stay out of shot, such as screens, prototypes or customer information. We plan the shot list so people can keep working.
Do you photograph products and brand images?
Yes. For Jellyshotz we have produced more than 200 product photographs across 30 flavours, used on their online shop and in their marketing. For a Berkshire brand we plan the products and sets in advance so one session covers the whole list.
How much does a photographer in Reading or Berkshire cost?
Photography starts at £249 for the first hour per photographer and £99 for each additional hour, with standard event processing included and detailed retouching at £49 per hour where agreed. Berkshire is more than 25 driving miles from our base, so we charge estimated return driving time at £49 per hour instead of mileage. No VAT is currently added.
How soon will we receive the photographs?
We agree a delivery date before the shoot. A small selection for social media or internal news can be prioritised, and the full edited set follows, named and sized for web and print.
Can you film at the same time as photographing?
Yes. Photographs and video at the same time normally needs a photographer and a videographer, each at the standard operator rate. For films, see our Reading & Berkshire video production page.
Which areas of Berkshire do you cover?
Reading, Caversham, Earley, Woodley, Theale, Wokingham, Bracknell, Crowthorne, Sandhurst, Ascot, Newbury, Thatcham, Hungerford, Maidenhead, Windsor, Slough and the villages in between. For Henley and Oxfordshire, see our Oxford photographer page; for Surrey, Hampshire or London, see those photographer pages.
