Great communication and got the job done efficiently. Will work with her again!

Take photos and videos of roof using a drone with camera

£100

Mari was phenomenal. She is a talented photographer, not just with the photography itself but also the editing and, most importantly, making me feel comfortable in front of the camera. I let her know my anxieties and she put them all to rest when we got started. She was communicative, punctual, and extraordinarily friendly. She has all her own professional equipment, including lighting. I will be hiring her for all my photography needs!

What do professional photography services include?

Whether you’ve got a special occasion coming up or just want to capture a moment in time, hiring a photographer means you can relax knowing it’s all taken care of. From lifestyle photography and portrait photography to food photography and commercial photography, there's nothing better than having experienced photographers in your area help with your photo shoots and give you quality images. The inclusions and what happens during your photo session will depend on the type of photography services you need:

Special occasion photography

Professional photography is a non-negotiable for special occasions like weddings, parties, and events these days. Your photographer will discuss the ins and outs of your event with you ahead of time to make sure they’re in the right place at the right time. They’ll set up their equipment before guests arrive and capture all the important moments, leaving you free to enjoy the day.

Portrait photography

Need to find a family photographer or baby photographer near you? Portraits can become treasured memories that show how people have changed and grown over time. They can even make wonderful family gifts. You can even find an experienced pet photographer to capture your pets’ portraits or include them in the family photo. Your portrait photographer will ensure everyone is posed and clearly visible, then take a variety of shots.

Fashion and product photography

A specialist fashion photographer or product photographer near you can help with the right lighting, camera, and know-how of taking pictures that represent your brand or products. They’ll help style, arrange, and edit your images to help you stand out from the crowd, grow your following, and sell more products. 

Drone photography

Aerial photography has revolutionised photography and video footage - these days you can get amazing group photos, property shots, and aerial views of just about anything. Whether you’re in real estate, construction, or tourism… or you’re planning your wedding, a pro drone photographer will use a high-quality drone camera to expertly capture the perfect aerial shot. 

Travel and vacation photography

Hiring a professional to photograph your vacation will let you have fun without worrying wether you've documented the moment or not. Some people opt to hire a local photographer to travel with them. However, since you'll be covering their expenses too, it's not very practical if you're on a budget. An alternative is to hire a local photographer when you land at your destination. As locals, they'll know the best places to take pictures. They can act as your guide as well.

Photo editing and retouching

Photo editing is where the magic happens, but it can be time-consuming if you’re not a pro. A photo editor can help with retouching photos from your photo shoot, photoshopping an ex from your family photos, or turning an average photo into a masterpiece with the right lighting adjustments. They’ll use programs like Photoshop and Lightroom to make the best photos from your photo shoot even better.

It is important that there is no light reflected off the canvas in the images. I am located a short walk from Angel Tube. There is pay as you go parking immediately outside. please respond by email with details of previous experience and examples of any relevant images and availability.
