Ideal for trade business owners whose team don’t regularly take photos of the work they are doing, (or maybe only do it at the end of a project), so they have before, during and after images for case studies. This training will give them the necessary know-how to make sure their photos make your work looks consistent and the best it possibly can.
Learn how to take photos consistently on a phone – or company camera, if applicable. Create a standard operating procedure (SOP) for the team so they take 3 sets of images at the start of each day, as well as upload them. Learn how to take images in difficult lighting situations. Create a library of visual assets for the business, for online, marketing and case studies. Give added security for business insurance documentary image. And ensure good work practice.

THE OUTCOME
Liza and the team at Priory Heating have been taking regular daily images and it shows in their social media feed. The SOP is there as a reminder, but very quickly it has become second nature for photos to be taken showing key points during their workday.
As well as having a photographic record of the work they are doing, which helps to highlight any difficulties that may have occurred, they also are documenting their processes so if there are any queries from their customers, they are able to show the work as it has been ongoing. It gives good peace of mind for Priory Heating and their customers.
