Pandora | PR Photography

PR Photography

Pandora has to be one of the best known Jewellery brands in the UK and to keep a strong profile they have a regular requirement for strong PR Photography.

We were asked to provide coverage of some new store openings as well as store refurbishment and re-launches. These events were opportunities for people to reacquaint themselves with the store and brand, as well as enter prize draws and gain introductory discounts. We were tasked to covering these events as unobtrusively as possible so as to ensure natural interaction with store staff. Both Pandora and the Franchisee needed natural shots but also required a large stock of images for their records: store shots inside prior to store opening and team photos outside the store. This particular selection is from the Southend-on-Sea store re-opening after extensive refitting and extension into another retail unit.

The store manager, Farah, had asked for the images to be turned around as quick as possible to get the most mileage from the imagery in local press and on the Pandora website. Images were delivered the next working day.

If you have a key PR event that you’d like to have covered in order to gain more brand exposure then please do get in touch with your questions.

Protection & Management Series Event | Exhibition Photographer

Exhibition Photography – Excel, London

I was commissioned to cover the very first London based event specialising in a wide range of security, facilities and safety measures. It is the biggest show of its kind in Europe. Attracting 1600 exhibitors, 45,000 visitors and completely taking over the whole of Excel. Therefore it is quite a staggering show, I therefore brought in two additional photographers to ensure blanket coverage over the three day duration of the event. With a detailed brief for each day we gave comprehensive coverage to this popular event. Providing on the fly editing for frequent uploads to social media, in order to keep momentum and public interest in the event. As well as producing a full edit of all images shot at the end of each day, this enables the event organisers to move quickly with post-show marketing activity to all their media partners as well as the wider media.

We received some fantastic feedback on the service we provided and have been booked again to cover the next show later this year.

Of course, not all events are on this scale, but the same service is needed in order to fully leverage the time, management and expense that has gone into organising your event. Getting your message out there through the use of compelling show imagery tells a more powerful story than words alone. The service we offer is UK wide so please feel free to get in touch and talk through your plans, we’d be happy to help.

NHS STOPtober campaign 1

NHS STOPtober Campaign Photography

I was delighted to be asked to cover an initiative for the NHS recently called STOPtober. This is a key campaign the NHS run to help smokers STOP – simple right?

Well, many people find it hard to stop smoking so the NHS has a range of services and support to help. It’s a fantastic idea as smoking related diseases are a massive burden on the NHS, so any opportunity to reduce that burden and live a healthier life is an opportunity worth taking. It all starts with a 28 day challenge with full ongoing support. A bite size way to tackle an addiction.

The brief

The NHS spend millions fighting the effects of smoking each year and so wanted to put a more friendly and personable spin to the message this year. So, as well photographing the team and store management of the local ASDA store to show just how much support is being given, they also wanted imagery of those affected. And so we were invited to sit in on a one-to-one session held in a private room in the store. During this session a man who had been a heavy smoker for many years was received coaching, information and updates on what is available and also sharing his experiences of giving up gradually. As, ultimately, you’re more likely to give up with support and when moving away from cigarettes gradually, instead of just going cold turkey. During these sessions their readings are taken to see how much their breathing has improved and how the nicotine in their system has been reducing. The images taken are set to be used in local collateral to drive home the message of the personal support that is given.
