Say Cheese.

How do you quickly grab a customer’s attention in a busy digital environment? In an online world where nobody really reads anymore and there are millions of distractions competing for your potential customers’ attention – how do you stand out as a business? Commercial photography of course. 

What Is Commercial Photography?

Commercial photography adds servious value to your online business. By utilising the visual medium to capture your products, services and your brand and ultimately making it more memorable.  

As we’re all aware, first impressions are seriously important. For an online business there’s a lot riding on the customers first impression of your brand. You only have a second or two to grab their attention, how can that be achieved? Imagine you’re in your customers shoes, you’ve been searching through websites trying to figure out which brand you want to use. What will grab their attention?

How Great Commercial Photography Can Boost Your Brand

A picture speaks a thousand words, well not according to our copywriters but in general the power of photography really can’t be disputed. Even more so when it comes to business. With attention spans dwindling, it’s now more important than ever to capture your audience’s attention – a business website with an abundance of rich high-quality images is certainly one way of doing it. 

Great commercial photography is what every business needs to boost their brand. Don’t believe us? Here’s an example:

Think of Burger King’s Whopper burger, what are you envisioning? Is it the product image or the reality? We’re envisioning the most beautiful burger we’ve ever seen, crisp lettuce seductively draped over a big juicy patty, with ketchup drizzling down its sides, a mere slither of pickle poking out and a perfectly plump bun with a scattering of seeds crowned upon its head. We aren’t thinking of the reality of the product, we’re set on that carefully curated image. The burger is seldom as seen on billboards or tv ads, yet we repeatedly go back with that picture at the forefront of our mind. High-quality commercial photography is utilised by companies like Burger King to keep customers coming back time and time again. 

Commercial photography is the portrayal of a product or service in all of its glory, with all the elements that will appeal to the consumer on show. Regardless of whether it’s a burger, clothing line or 17th century hotel – commercial photography works for every business. 

For any business the digital landscape is a noisy one, you’re competing with many similar businesses – sometimes in quite a small locality. Communicating visually with your clients is a clever way of setting yourself apart from the competition. You can showcase your products or services and take potential customers on a journey, a brand journey. High-quality images are one of the best ways to illustrate what your brand is all about. 

Brand Perception – Why It’s Important

You know why your brand is special and we imagine you’ve spent a long time differentiating yourself from your rivals. Your brand perception should reflect this and commercial photography can make it happen. 

The tone of your brand should echo throughout all of your business assets – your website, the photography, the font, and every other element your audience will encounter. These elements set the tone for what the customer can expect from your business. We can assure you that sloppy imagery doesn’t set that tone and will reflect badly on the perception of your business. When your brand becomes recognisable and is instantly linked to exceptional quality – it’s time to celebrate! Your brand has made it, it’s now established. 

How We Build Brand Value

The quality of the imagery you use speaks volumes about your brand. After all, you wouldn’t shoot product or service images on a phone. When your customer views your products or services they expect to see high-quality shots clearly communicating what your business offers. You won’t find grainy shots at Geek Unique, only the best will do. Our professionally lit and dynamic shots captured using the best cameras will communicate the value of your brand to your audience. They will convey to your customer not just your brand but the level of value you offer. 

Stay Away From Stock Photography

When you opt for stock photography you’re sacrificing your authenticity as a brand. Let’s not forget that stock photography has been around for a long time and most of us can spot a stock image a mile off. There are millions of stock images available online, if you can access them – imagine how many other businesses are doing the same thing. The advantage of using commercial photography services is that it’s completely unique, it features your brand, your business, your products and your staff. It provides your customers with a much more realistic version of what they can expect. People buy people – authenticity sells.
