Ikon Photography: Our photographic services

How should you choose a photographer and can they provide what I need?

Please take the time to read how we can help take the stress out of choosing a photographer, take "5" and have a coffee, tea or glass of wine and read on...

Here at Ikon photography, we want to get to know you, your business and work with you over time to develop a long term relationship. Taking the time to understand your needs is important to us; this enables us to deliver the results you expect, on time and within budget.

From your initial enquiry, you will deal directly with the photographer and team that will create your images. We encourage involvement in the photographic shoot as you know your business and we value your input. Photography is about effectively communicating a message in a visual form. Our experienced professional photographers will advise you on the best solution to fulfil your requirements.

We have a relaxed easy-going approach, combined with the reassurance that we will meet your requirements and make your vision a reality.

Our award winning professional photography portfolio is made up of commissioned advertising photography which is regularly published (All images shown on our website are from commissioned projects, unlike some sites which contain speculative test shots, not fulfilling a commercial brief). Our commercial, advertising and industrial photographers know this and will ensure the images meet the brief and will deliver the required results.

Choosing a photographer just on the basis of price often leads to disappointment. Corners get cut to maintain margins, lack of experience leads to an under estimation of what is required to fulfil the brief adequately, in essence quoting to "buy the business". The resulting photography may fail to do your business justice as choosing the lowest price can be false economy. If you were having an operation, would you pick the cheapest surgeon?

In the current economic climate, we understand that it is vital to ensure that clients are utilizing their marketing budget effectively. It is vital to continue to promote your business, product or service through the use of high quality advertising photography.

As Commercial photographers, we work together with marketing managers, creative directors, designers and advertising agencies directly. Many of our clients have been with us for years and continue to trust our professional photographers to provide their photographic services.
