Commercial photography in schools

As you know, your prospectus and website is the first port of call for prospective parents when deciding on which schools/colleges to consider for their children. So I'm sure you will agree that it's essential for your school prospectus photography to include compelling images which lay the foundations of showcasing what’s special and unique about you.

Your bank of school marketing photography needs to show pupils in a vibrant and engaging learning environment which can then be used across the whole marketing mix.

My background is in marketing, so for me, it’s not just about getting the perfect light for a specific shot (although that does help!) - it's working out what each photograph will show about your school. For example, if the school is known for its academic prowess - does it show engaged, hard working pupils? Or if the school is especially proud of its pastoral care, are there plenty of photos showing the children interacting with teachers and fellow pupils?

For the past 14 years, I have photographed a huge variety of schools throughout London and the South East including Westminster School, Kings College Wimbledon, Wellington College and Ludgrove School. I have also photographed lots of colleges including East Surrey College, Central Bedfordshire College and Milton Keynes College.

Earlier in the year, I was very excited to be featured in a blog about school photography by the education marketing agency, Ambleglow. It features 8 Top Tips For Getting The Most Out Of Your School Photography and also a FREE photography briefing template - so it's super useful!
