When is the last time you looked at a photo of yourself or your business that you really, truly loved?
When you look at the imagery on your website what do you want your potential customers to feel?
Do you shudder when you see the stock imagery you plastered on your site just to get your website up and running?
Read More About Simon James...
Are you a time poor marketing manager just begging to be fed some gorgeous, authentic content to share on your social feeds?
The truth is that photography and imagery is so often an afterthought for businesses and their people.
However, photography is such a powerful tool for businesses, their owners and their staff to create genuine, human connection – even without being in the same room.
I created Simon James Photography some 30 years ago with this very goal in mind.
The power of imagery has never been more apparent than in the current climate, where so often we cannot be in the same room as the people we work with, the people who use or might use our services or the people we love.
As a photographer, my biggest skillset is helping my many satisfied customers (go check out my 50+ five-star Google Reviews) come to love the process of being photographed and in delivering a final product that inspires an emotional response. This brings me so much joy!
My biggest asset is my emotional intelligence. My ability to connect with people in a way that turns being photographed from an anxiety-inducing and unnatural event into an experience that my clients truly relish.
For many, working with a photographer is often an unnatural event. And typically, it feels that way because it is not something you do very often.
However, I believe that my role as a photographer is to strip back that unauthentic layer of awkwardness and bring to life the real person in front of the camera.
My goal when photographing my clients, their teams and their businesses is to capture the authenticity that is going to make their images stand out.
The sort of images that will take pride of place on their website, their social media or even their walls.
I specialise in corporate photography, portraiture and family photography, delivering these images products to businesses, individuals and families alike.
If you are;
- a marketing, advertising, or creative agency owner,
- a nationwide business owner
- an events manager
and you need a photographer you can rely on, who cares for your clients whilst delivering outstanding images that make them shine and leave you looking like a hero, then we need to catch up for a coffee.
