Photography for websites

Gerard Farnham — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:35:15 +0000

A common problem when running your website or social media campaign page is getting really good images. We can do fast, cost effective phot0shoots covering key activities and subjects that will portray your business effectively and stylishly to use for decorative images on your site, facebook, or blog pages. Shoots take an average of a couple of hours, are done “on the fly” so with available light and facilities and produce easy to use high quality images that can get you “liked” in the right places. Here is an album from a recent shoot at Bloomingdirect.com a local growers who wanted to show some of their plants quietly growing in the Jersey Sun.

They specifically wanted to project an impression of care and professionalism which would demonstrate the quality of their operation and therefore the products. This was achieved with 2 hours of photography and 2 hours post production. The photographs have been used very successfully on their facebook page and blog.

Jersey Charity Sponsorship

As a local businessman and a keen but fairly innocent environmentalist I want to actually do something to give back to the island. So, this year I would like to offer a local organisation – one that benefits Jersey environmentally or ecologically, a free website, and if required, online marketing support. If you would like to be considered please get in touch via the contact page here on the site.

I use iStockphoto most of the time simply because they have a great selection of image, I usually find what I want, they aren’t expensive and because it is a pretty bullet-proof system. Being reliable counts for a lot.
