You’ve probably worked out by now that we specialise in photographing men and women. We’re happy to consider photographing anything, or anyone.

We have a beautiful studio, in a sexy converted warehouse, in trendy Spitalfields. It’s a fantastic environment, laid back, not stuffy, the perfect setting for beautiful photographs. It’s also high tech, with wireless lighting controlled by radio triggers, and some extremely state of the art kit.

We work exclusively in Digital format, filming on Canon EOS 1Ds Mk II, the Daddy of all cameras, currently the most powerful SLR camera in the world. We shoot everything in RAW format, providing the best possible resolution for your shots.

If you’d like us to produce photographs for you, here’s how it works:

We will meet with you to discuss what you’re looking for, the type of shot, the mood and message you’re trying to achieve. Based on this discussion, we’ll build up a detailed brief of what needs to happen during your shoot. At this point, we’ll give you a quote for our work. Normally, these meetings take place in our studio, to give you chance to check out where we’ll be working.

If you’re using models, we will normally do a casting and ask you to come along to choose your models with us. We’ll run some test-shots of the models to help assess them.

We can also help recommend stylists and make-up artists and have a wide range of professionals that we work with regularly.

On the day of your shoot, we’ll set up the studio and ensure that everything is ready for you to get off to a great start. If you’re working with us all day, we can also provide catering and refreshments. Our photographers will do their magic. You can direct them, or leave it up to their expertise to capture the perfect shot.

During the shoot, you’ll be able to check out the photos we’ve taken on-screen and make sure you’re happy with them.

After the shoot, we’ll arrange for you to come back to the studio to go through the shots in detail. You can review them on-screen and choose the ones you like best.

We can retouch or edit these images to get them exactly right for you. Our imaging specialists are wizards on Photoshop and with their input you can make a good shot absolutely perfect.

We’ll give you a DVD with your images on it, normally in TIFF format.

So, how much does it cost?

Despite being scarily professional, we’re also not going to break the bank.

As standard, we charge £100 per hour for photography, and £45 per hour for retouching and editing. These prices are fully inclusive of studio and equipment hire. So, if you wanted us to do a 4 hour shoot, and retouch/edit the images for another 4 hours, you would pay us just £580. All prices exclude VAT, which is added at 17.5%
