Free Product Photography & Branding during Covid-19

The Coronavirus lockdown is affecting EVERYONE! Whether family relationships, businesses or personal anxieties. No one is immune. In spite of this, there are many blessings and joys of being safe at home and the opportunity for creativity to flow but it’s hard holding all these emotions and sense of loss and at the same time look after our own families and health.

Sadly personal branding shoots have not been possible since lockdown so I got my creative juices flowing, firstly thinking how can I use my skills to help those in need and how can I pivot and evolve what I provide with photography at the same time. So I trialled a little idea - that local businesses could drop some products on my doorstep and I would create some images for them. Not only is it keeping my fingers clicking creatively behind the lens but I’m building relationships and supporting local small businesses. And I’ve decided to make this available for everyone during the Covid-19 epidemic…

The idea is simple, we all need to reflect and change and truly reflect on our business models and for some of us, particularly if we have a little more free time on our hands, we can turn our minds to thinking about our marketing, branding and business strategies so that we can emerge from this time stronger and with more clarity than ever. To help with this I’m offering two things that I think can support small businesses and entrepreneurs at this time:

Free product shoot

Yes you heard me right. You can drop off your produce/products at my front door in Lee, SE London or alternatively post your wares and I will shoot a collection of images (at least 50) in my home. We can have a chat to make sure I’m a good fit for you and then I’ll curate an online gallery for you to choose your favourite photos for your website and marketing. Professional images give you credibility and really help to communicate your brand story in a split second. You only pay for the images you want with no minimum order. Each image fully colour-corrected and edited costs £25. You can view my whole portfolio here.

2. Free branding support

I really wanted to share a version of the process that I go through with all my personal branding clients and it’s always been an indispensable tool for me in my own business too to get clarity and vision as well as prepare for photo shoots and branding collaborations. There are ten areas for you to consider and journal about and I’ll be sending this to everyone who subscribes to Exposure (which sees you access to other resources as well). If we have extra time on our hands at the moment this is the perfect opportunity to invest time in thinking about your branding. Something so key to help your business thrive (all the reasons why in the resource).

Subscribe to Exposure here

So there you have it! Would one of these help you right now? If so get in touch. Either subscribe to Exposure (above) or contact me to discuss the free photoshoot. I want to keep inspiring and enthusing entrepreneurs at this time and this is the best way I can do it right now. So jump on board and have your business in a strong, confident position, ready for when life returns to normal, or more accurately, another new normal….
