PR Photography

Did you invite a paper or a magazine to attend your event and take pictures but they didn't turn up?

Did you send pictures into the local paper but they didn't get used?

If your pictures are used, do they tend to be small and pushed to the back of the paper?

Do you wonder why your competitors' photographs get used?

Do you want professional ‘people shots' taking at your event that happen quickly and without disrupting proceedings?

Are you seeking a portfolio of high quality photographs to show off your product to prospective customers?

High quality photography can give you the edge over competitors when it comes to showing off your organisation or products.

PR is greatly enhanced if your press release is accompanied by professional photography.

The trick with PR photography is to take news-style photos, which are different in style from straightforward product or portrait photographs.

Good composition is essential. For example, the press likes the picture to tell the story.

Picture desks need photographs of a certain size and requirements vary between newspapers and glossy magazines.

Good photographers have good people skills: they make people comfortable before the lens, so that you get strong, natural photographs that really stand out when published.

The Outwrite Public Relations team has many years' experience in commissioning creative photography.

We work with a small team of freelance press photographers to set up high-quality news photographs that editors love.

There is nothing ordinary about our pictures: we've marched our subjects onto hilltops, made them balance on castle ramparts and trek into a muddy estuary to get the right setting.

Correct use of appropriate props adds to good press shots, and over the years we've harnessed everything from JCBs to life-size dragon costumes, not to mention the stripy seaside deckchair that our subject posed in, outdoors, in a light drizzle, on a cold February afternoon whilst wearing shorts and sandals.

Indeed, cheque presentation pictures are just not allowed at Outwrite - we find something more interesting that will make an impact on editors and readers when published.

In addition to PR photography, our commercial photography services include product photography, event photography and people portraits for brochures, annual reports and websites.
