BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHY
More than ever, the style, look, and feel of a brand are influencing customers' decisions. The market is full of half-hearted websites and social media pages but the most successful businesses today owe at least some of their success to their presentation. The primary aim of branding is to provide a clear visual identity for marketing your business. Depending on individual needs the content of your gallery may include product photos, headshots, team photos, individual and group lifestyle portraits, custom stock images, and interior photos. All of the content will be fit for social media, the web, and printing.
When I look at your product/service I always look at the big picture, your whole brand, and the people behind it. Every brand has a message and I am here to tell it for you.
PRODUCT & SERVICE
Transporting a message
Your product or service is something you have put your whole heart into developing, now you just have to let the world know what an amazing thing you have created. I believe that with the right techniques and ideas you can make every product or service look desirable. My best outcomes were the ones when my client gave me just a short briefing of what they were looking for but gave me free hands in the creative production.
As someone from the outside and seeing your product or experiencing your service for the first time, I bring a fresh look for things and know exactly how to put it into the right scene.
HARRIS GIN
August 2020
Luskentyre Beach, Isle of Lewis, Scotland
I bought this bottle of Harris Gin as a souvenir from my two-week solo trip to Skye and Lewis. When I was setting up my tent by the beach the bottle fell into the sand and I had an instant creative kick to try and put the bottle into the perfect scene. During the smooth evening light and calm waves and with a lot of patience and trying, I managed to create the exact shots that I previously had in mind. I was so pleased with the shots that I sent them to the Gin Marketing team but sadly never got a reply. That didn't stop my desire to create more product photos and here I am, writing the "Product Photography" section on my website...
FAIRMONT HOTEL
June, July, August & December 2021
St Andrews, The Kingdom of Fife, Scotland
Working with the Fairmont Hotel was a pleasure and I loved the combination of product, service, team, and interior shots. In all 4 jobs, I was experiencing the highest quality and professionalism amongst the whole team and they fully trusted my abilities when it came to putting their visions into practice. From flying in a helicopter to meeting Santa, their service is outstanding and it was my main aim to manifest it in their photography concept. Having a look behind the scenes gave me a good insight into how passionate everyone works in their environment and their products and services reflected it all.
UTILITY ARCHIVE
December 2020 & January 2021
Lake District, England & St Abbs, Scotland
Just before I traveled to the Lake District to attend an Outdoor Product Photography Workshop I got approached by the founder of Utility Archive. He offered me an unpaid collaboration where he would provide me with a backpack of my choice and I would deliver appropriate product photos for him. This deal was a double winner for me as I not only received an amazing backpack for free but also got to test my product photography skills. The whole weekend in the Lakes was a complete washout, it rained non-stop but that helped present the product in the best way. The backpack was super waterproof and I made sure to picture the repelling surface in the best way.
CROMLIX HOTEL
September 2023
Dunblane, Stirlingshire, Scotland
A new service at the stunning Cromlix House Hotel made me go back. This time it was all about their new Kids Package that was about to launch. Working with kids is always so much fun but combining it with a service photo shoot was new to me and to my surprise it was much easier than first expected. The amount of fun and creativity when working with kids made me come up with great ideas of how to present best what the new offer includes. On this day, the sun was shining so we had to improvise to get the rainy shots under the big umbrella.
BUSINESS HEADSHOTS
Quality Makes Success
How many times have you chosen a product or business based on its online presentation and reviews? I bet you have lost count but it is probably more often than you would like to admit. I am here to help capture you and your team in a professional, personal way without squashing out the individuality of you and your employees. Personalities give workplaces character and being able to showcase that through photos will help you connect to your clients.
CROMLIX HOTEL
April 2023
Dunblane, Stirlingshire, Scotland
When the Cromlix House Hotel Marketing Team approached me with a request for business headshots, I had hundreds of ideas in my head. The hotel has received a lot of positive feedback following a recent refurbishment, so our vision was to present the team whilst showing as many of the beautiful new features as possible. Every team member was photographed in a different room of the hotel which made my job exciting and super creative. Later that year, Cromlix asked me to return several times for more shoots!
ROSS CUNNINGHAM
2020 & 2021
The Kingdom of Fife, Scotland
In 2021, Ross Cunningham ran as the SNP's candidate for mid-Scotland and Fife at an upcoming election. Ross needed portraits that pictured him in his potential constituency. Together we created a list of suitable locations that matched his campaign requirements and captured some local landmarks. Ross is a very outdoorsy person in his private life so it was easy to roam a bit further than the car park for perfect shots. His presentation throughout the campaign was very professional thanks to his ability to communicate his goals through text and image.
ALBA CHIROPRACTIC
November 2021
Dundee, Scotland
This chiropractic clinic in Dundee got in touch with a request for business headshots. They also needed photos that captured their services to refresh their marketing. Alba fully trusted me to compose the headshots and let me tour the clinic to see which areas best reflected the feel of the clinic itself. The main message to get across to clients was Alba's professionalism and expertise. Their Facebook page and website were updated with a new look and with the help of their new images, they were able to connect even more with their patients.
Words from Cromlix Hotel
Verena is an absolute joy to work with. She has a wonderful manner about her which puts even the most camera shy at ease!
She works in a very natural way which allows her to capture beautifully authentic images that are reflective of the true essence of Cromlix and our team.
