What does a commercial photographer do? And other Simply C FAQs

As part of an ongoing project to build on the informative structure of her website, Cherry Beesley, Director at Simply C Photography has been busy compiling a number of FAQ pages to help clients better understand how to use, and get the most from, a commercial photographer.

“I am often asked the same questions by potential clients during our discover calls,” Cherry explained, “So it seemed like a great opportunity to compile a ‘go to’ list for interested clients to access”.

“If you want to make an impact and elevate your brand above your competition then high-quality commercial photography is Simply the way to go.”

Cherry’s new website pages will be going live soon, but in the meantime SuffolkWire have a sneak peek at the most common questions asked around commercial photography.

How does commercial photography work?

I can only speak for the Simply C way of capturing commercial images but my ethos is that commercial photography should be an honest and appealing insight into your business. To achieve this, I take the time to introduce myself to a client and get to know what their business is about and what they want to achieve. I then have this representation of them as the end goal to their shoot.

How much does a commercial photographer charge?

Because of the individuality of each job, there is no ‘one size fits all’ price for Simply C commercial photography.  Pricing is based on the length of time involved in creating the images and is very much tailored around the client, location and budget. I work very openly and sensitively with each and every client and pricing is a very bespoke and individual process.
