PR Photography Yarmouth for Morgan Sindall

PR Photography Assignment

With a new base being developed for Proserv along the Norfolk coast, in a key enterprise zone, it seemed only fitting to mark the occasion with a ceremonial sign fixing. Proserv is a key player in global energy services and their presence in the region is a major time and resource investment for both them and the local council. Morgan Sindall are the construction partner on this development and asked Maxim Photo to cover this event with images destined to be circulated among local printed/online media as well as National trade publications.

Known as Artemis House, this building will house 200 employees and make a significant contribution to the local economy. And although Proserv are to be a leaseholder of this building they have have invested around £2 million for the fit out, further re-enforcing their commitment to this venture.

Although a tad muddy and very rainy during this shoot, spirits were upbeat as teams from Proserv and Morgan Sindall showed local council members as well as the LEP around the premises.

Ultimately we were happy with the variety and number of shots given the time constraints.

Image delivery

Clients that request assignments such as these place a heavy emphasis on the immediacy of image availability. The main images were edited at the site office so as they could be circulated as quickly as possible to ensure blanket local media coverage that same day, with the rest of the images being delivered the following day for wider publication.

Waitrose Weekend Editorial shoot

My first assignment for Waitrose’s Weekend Magazine.

I was called, very last minute, to cover a feature for their section called “My Weekend”. This is a section where they interview people from all walks of life to talk about what they do that’s different at their weekend. With one day’s notice, my brief was to get to the Lifeboat Station at Caister, Norfolk, just a couple miles north of Great Yarmouth, and get an environmental portrait but without it being too posed. This is usually a straight forward task, and at a Lifeboat Station there would be plenty of backdrops available. Having checked in at the office I met Paul, he was a friendly guy, but he had a job to do and I, understandably, had to fit in with his routine of setting up the Lifeboat for the upcoming drill that morning. Paul was very accommodating but I had to pick my moment.

Editorial Photography Norfolk

In between his duties, and during constant rain, he called me over and said we had a few minutes as he had to launch the boat, although Waitrose would only use one shot I had to give them a wide choice to select from. I climbed up on the boat and, with rain now pelting down, we quickly moved through a number of shots, while balancing on a wet Lifeboat. Five minutes later, that’s it…we were done. I hopped down from the boat and set off back home to upload the proof shots to the client. A fresh and invigorating, if slightly wet, way to start your Sunday morning for sure.
