FAQs

What types of businesses do you work with?

I work with organisations of all sizes — from solo founders to larger companies. What matters is understanding your business, values, and goals, then reflecting that clearly in the photographs.

How much does photography in Norwich cost?

Projects typically start at £625 + VAT for a half‑day shoot with editing. This usually delivers up to 30 images in high‑ and low‑resolution, ready for print and digital. Every brief is quoted individually — get in touch for a tailored price.

How long does a set of photographs take to produce?

Timings depend on scope. For example, 100 portraits take longer than 10. As a guide, a half‑day usually yields up to 30 images, with final delivery within a week.

Can you shoot at our business location?

Yes — I work across Norfolk and can come to you with a fully equipped mobile studio. Whether you’re in Norwich or further afield, I’ll handle the setup on site and keep disruption to a minimum so we can get great results efficiently.

Do you work outside of Norwich city centre?

Yes — I cover Norwich and the whole of Norfolk, including Great Yarmouth, North Walsham, King’s Lynn, Attleborough, and Dereham, plus North Norfolk and surrounding towns and villages. I’m also happy to travel further afield.

What equipment do you use for your photography?

I shoot primarily on a Canon 5D Mark IV full‑frame camera with a mix of modern and vintage lenses. I bring Aputure LED lighting with softboxes and modifiers, plus frames and backgrounds as needed. For aerial work, I’m licensed by the CAA and fully insured.

When should I get in touch with you about my project?

Let’s arrange a conversation so I can understand your goals, audience, and any constraints. I’ll map the approach, confirm what’s needed on the day, and deliver a final set of photographs that meets the brief with confidence.
