Business Branding Photography

For businesses that want their photography to say something, not just fill the space.

Most business photography looks the same. That's because most photographers start with a camera, not an idea.

Every shoot I do starts with a brief. What does your business need to say? Who are you saying it to? What does the image need to do once it lands on your website, your LinkedIn, your pitch deck? The answers to those questions shape everything, the location, the lighting, the framing, the people in the frame.

I’ve been creating idea-led branding photography for businesses since 1997, from Bristol SMEs to international campaigns. The approach is the same either way: start with what the business needs to communicate, then build the shoot around that.

"Marcus is the best photographer in Bristol. I know that because we've used him multiple times, across multiple shoots, for several clients and for our own work."

Team Headshots

Consistent headshots for your whole team. I set up a studio at your offices, allow about ten minutes per person.

Everyone gets the same lighting and background, so new starters can be added later and still match.

Events & Conferences

Conferences, awards, training days, and staff events are covered without getting in the way of the day, including international conferences in Europe and the US.

Speakers, award winners, networking and branded details that show what the day was like.

Brand & Campaign shoots

Your people at work, in meetings and with clients, plus your premises and products, for your website, adverts and social media.

We agree a shot list before the day, so every image has a job to do.

Train your team

Need fresh content between shoots?

I run a hands-on, half-day workshop that teaches your team to take on-brand photos with just their phones.

  • Finding the best light and the best spots in your own building

  • Simple framing and settings that keep every image consistent

  • Photographing colleagues, products and events for social media and your website

  • Recording work as it happens, so you have before-and-after images for case studies

  • A short guide to keep afterwards, using examples from your own session

Run twice in London with TBD Marketing, for marketing teams from leading law firms.

“We’ve worked with Marcus over a few years, he’s very meticulous with his work and has that creative eye to get the right shots in. Prompt with his responses and professional with his approach. Highly recommended.”

Charlie Vicente, Co-founder, Ares Projects

HOW IT WORKS:

White number one on a purple background

Get in touch.
Book a call or send a message, and tell me what you need. If you have a brief and brand guidelines, I’ll work to them. If not, we’ll put a brief together.

White number 2 on a purple background

Work together on the day.
We agree on the shot list, timings, and what everyone should wear. I work tethered to a laptop, so you see every image as it’s taken, and we can shape the shots together. For bigger jobs with a lot to cover, I bring in assistants or a second photographer.

White number 3 centered on a solid purple background

Get your images.
I edit and colour-grade every image to suit your brand, and it's ready to use within 72 hours, usually sooner. If you want them ready to post straight away, I can add your logo and crop each image to size for your website and social channels as an extra.
