INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY and IMAGE MANIPULATION Are your pictures worth a thousand words? Good photography is a key element in most successful publicity campaigns. For small and medium enterprises however, picture costs can be disproportionately high. To illustrate a simple 4-page brochure, for example, can cost several hundred pounds. Some businesses are tempted to cut corners and take their own pictures. I would advise against this - poor photography can do more harm than good. The good news is: there's no need to compromise! If you are looking for affordable, professional photography to illustrate a brochure, catalogue, or website, you've come to the right place! I offer three affordable solutions. (1) Select images from our Picture Library. (2) Commission me to digitally enhance your own photographs (3) Hire a photographer for a studio or location session You can 'mix and match' from any of those solutions but, no matter which you decide upon, you'll know from the outset how much it will cost - thanks to my transparent pricing policy and no hidden extras! PICTURE LIBRARY Picture Libraries normally charge a base price for each image. On top of that they add a sliding-scale fee based on the number of people likely to see the finished item. For example: they will charge you more for a photograph used in 10,000 sales brochures than they would for the same image used in 1,000 flyers. I believe my system is fairer (and a good deal cheaper!) At keithjones.net you pay for a Selection Session, where I assist you in choosing appropriate pictures from my huge library of 'stock' images. The cost? - a highly affordable £18 per half hour (which includes the one-time use of all pictures selected). DIGITAL ENHANCEMENT Perhaps you already have pictures that, with a little 'tweaking', would serve your purpose? In that case I can optimise your prints, slides or digital images by adjusting colour balance, brightness, contrast and removing unnatural colour casts. I can also eliminate untidy or 'busy' backgrounds, blemishes or other unwanted elements from your pictures. I can make your product 'jump from the page' by putting the background 'out of focus'. I can combine elements from several different photographs into one and restore faded or damaged pictures so that they look like new. "Re-purposing" images this way can save you £££s. If the pictures are for Web, DVD or CD ROM I will optimise them for rapid loading - with no perceptible loss of quality. Unlike 'stock' images, digitally enhanced pictures belong to you - so you can use them over and over again without incurring additional expense. The cost? - £19 per half hour including archive CD ROM containing the enhanced images. NEW - Video Transfer - sales and promotional videos transferred from VHS to DVD PHOTOGRAPHY (studio or location) A two-hour studio or location session costs £70 and includes one set of 24 glossy 6 x 4 ins prints on Kodak or Fujifilm photographic paper. Enlargements, retouching and other post-production work, available at extra cost. Travel expenses charged at cost. All sessions archived to CD ROM or DVD so you can use them again at no additional cost.
