Inspired Photography by Adam
A shoot usually ends with a handover: a folder of images, and a website that has to make the best of them. Mine ends with images that already know where they're going.
I'm a web designer who shoots, which is rarer than it should be. When I photograph your business, I'm already thinking about the hero image, the crop at mobile widths, the space your headline will need. The photograph and the page it lives on are designed by the same pair of eyes.
One supplier, no gaps
When Tom Appleton needed a website, we didn't start with a design. We started with a shoot. An afternoon at a café table, talking, while I photographed him doing what he actually does: listening, thinking, explaining. Those photographs shaped the site, not the other way round.
The quiet advantage
Hiring one person for both means no brief lost in translation between a designer and a photographer who have never met. No stock images pretending to be your business. No mystery over who owns what, because you own the lot. And because every image is sized and compressed for the build from day one, the site stays fast, which Google notices and your visitors feel.
You can hire me to shoot with no website attached. Plenty of people do. But when the two come together, that's when it earns its keep.
What I shoot for businesses
Four things, mostly. All aimed at how your business actually looks to the people you want to reach.
- Brand and headshot days. You and your team, photographed like humans rather than LinkedIn cutouts.
- Events and conferences. Coverage that catches the room, not just the podium.
- Product and food. Things made carefully deserve to be photographed carefully.
- Architecture and premises. Your building, your workshop, your shopfront, at their best.
