Commercial photography refers to photography in a professional and business context, where the purpose is to sell or promote a product, service, or brand. Commercial photographers create images for various applications, including advertising, product catalogues, annual reports, magazines, websites, and other marketing materials.
Commercial photography can encompass a variety of styles, from high-end fashion and product photography to documentary-style advertising photography. The goal of commercial photography is to visually communicate a message, whether it is to sell a product, convey a brand image, or tell a story.
Commercial photographers need to have a good understanding of lighting, composition, and post-production techniques and the ability to work with clients and art directors to achieve the desired outcome. They must also be able to work efficiently and effectively, often under tight deadlines, while maintaining a high level of quality in their work.

Actor Headshot Photography Katie Lowe

Biography Katie Lowe

Completing her diploma in Performing Arts, Katie went straight onto her first job..in Paris! From there she has spent the last 5 years all over Asia with different theatre and model work. Recently moved back to her home town, she’s signed with Lime Management and is extremely eager and exited at all the possibilities that await her in sunny old Manchester!

Testimonial – What Katie said about our Service

As a model, i’m not used to paying for photos and naturally I was scouring the internet in search of the cheapest deal I could get… And then I stumbled onto Neilson Reeves Photography. I didn’t even look at the prices I just knew I HAD to have headshots taken by Colin – they’re all such a real stand out from the rest! My morning with Colin was so great, I enjoyed every second. It was so laid back and I had such a laugh on the shoot. He really is a perfectionist, with even the smallest details and knows how to get the best out of the performer which shows in his work.

Advertising Photography Polypipe’s new product Polymax

The brief was to produce larger than life or hyperreal images of Max the plumber who just loves to use Polypipe’s new product Polymax pipe work. The images needed to be shot for easy extraction from the background in order to produce the following artwork. The image of max closing the van doors is a composite not easy to get a van into a studio 🙂

Large Format Advertising Photography Cambridge Hospital Outdoor Media Campaign

Any photographer will tell it’s the great to see your images in print but its even better to see them on massive billboards, even if it is not in your home town. In July this year spent the day shooting at the brand new Cambridge Hospital part of the Nuffield Health Group, shooting the advertising campaign to launch the new hospital. Working with some professional models and real medical staff we produced the following images and artwork used as billboard adverts, bus stop posters and direct mail.

Testimonial : This is what Marc said about our Actor Photography Service

Having worked with many photographers in the past i can without doubt say Colin is the best. Instead of just shooting away as soon as I got to his studio, he took time to get to know me as a person and a performer so we could both get the most out of the shoot. When we began the shoot Colins skills really showed. His attention to detail is to the finest millimetre and the way he can manipulate light is second to none. There was plenty of time in the shoot to make sure i was relaxed and could get the photos i wanted without ever feeling rushed. I can’t recommend Neilson Reeves enough.
