PR & Editorial

Pictures the trade press will actually run.

Announcements, launches, appointments, site visits, awards and features — shot to the brief the publication has set, and turned round to the deadline it has given you.

An editor rejects most PR photography because it is a line of people holding an oversized cheque. What gets used is a picture that tells the story on its own: somebody doing the thing, in the place where it happens, with enough room around them for a caption.

Where a release is going out the same day, a small selected set can be with you within hours and the full gallery afterwards, so the story does not miss its slot.
