Question 1

What is the Photo Guide I get with my training?

Accepted Answer

As well as a digital copy, you will also get a physical book, printed, with everything we cover during your training. The photos that will help illustrate the information will be from your session. Additionally, you will have some really helpful sheets at the back that every photographer can benefit from knowing.

You will be able to look at your training and duplicate it, in situ, using the settings listed and recreate your training.

Question 2

How far do you travel?

Accepted Answer

I’m happy to travel wherever my client is based. Travel and expenses can be quoted for at the time of enquiry. I’m based in Wiltshire, in the heart of the Salisbury plains, but I’ve always been prepared to work UK as well as internationally to meet my clients’ needs.

Question 3

How many people can be involved in the training?

Accepted Answer

For Trades, I can teach up to six in each session, clients benefit from a reduced price if they need more than one session to teach everyone in their team.

For Business, Business+ and Enterprise, up to four people to ensure everyone has the time they need.

Question 4

I have lots of people in my team, can they all be trained?

Accepted Answer

Yes of course, I can do a morning and an afternoon session. The costs are reduced to reflect that two sessions are happening in one day.

Question 5

Do I need special equipment to do the training?

Accepted Answer

Whether you have a smart phone or a camera, there is always something to be learned. Most businesses it’s about finding the best place in their environment for taking the images they are after. Or it can be about getting reliable consistent images, so working out their “go to” settings and how best to approach a situation. It’s about getting the best out of what you’ve got.

Question 6

Would it work for my business?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I believe so.

I have worked with a huge variety of businesses and industries over the years, and they all needed images. Service providers will approach things differently to a product-based business, and yet again to a trade business. But one thing above all, people buy from people and the more of the brand personality that can be captured in an image, the more it identifies as that business.

Think about things like the customer journey, or how a process works, or key dates in the calendar that are important to your business.

Question 7

What kind of things will I learn?

Accepted Answer

What do you want to learn? It can be technical, how to capture a specific style of image. It can be artistic, how to style the image to impact the narrative. It can be documentary, behind the scenes images, and anything in between.

You work in your space all the time, but you probably don’t consider the best place the take a photo. Or you might be doing spur of the moment images that might not be cohesive when you look at them in a group over time, so consistency, as well as good quality would be important.

It might be about time management, how to capture three months’ worth of images in a short period of time.

It will always be down to the client’s needs, whether they are a complete beginner or someone who just needs inspiration because they have artist block, I’m here to help.

Question 8

What if I have a team member who thinks it's not for them - what do I say to them?

Accepted Answer

If you are a Trade business with a team, it is worth knowing that as well as giving you images for case studies, there is the added value of documenting the work should there ever be a query or issue that might arise with a job or project.

From an insurance point of view the images can be invaluable. And as a business owner it is good to make sure that the team are following good work processes.

Explain that it is a positive and not a negative, and at the end of the training they will be able to make taking images very quick and consistently, so it will just become part of their daily routine.

For other businesses, you don’t have to teach everyone, pick people who are actively interested in taking images for the business and can see the benefit.
