Lighting in Commercial Photography

The single most important thing in photography in my opinion is lighting. Whether indoor or out the whole look of an image can be transformed with the correct lighting. The image shown here was photographed in The Image Factory studio for local pottery manufacturer William Edwards. The ceramics though destined for Cobblers Cove in Barbados had to be photographed in Burslem, oh well maybe next

Website images

Most of the images we capture end up on at least one website. This image for a client that makes additives to colour plastics was such a job. They originally wanted a simple white cut-out but we suggested they had it with a reflection just to add that little 'something extra'. The photograph was taken here in The Image Factory studio, Stoke-on-Trent and only took

Catalogue Photography

Catalogue photography usually starts with a chat about ideas and a few test shots to see if those ideas are achievable or can be improved upon. The test shots here are a few done today for Glenway Trophies from Leicester. They are are due here at the studio in August for about the 16th year in a row! These images are really helpful to us

Studio Pottery Photography

This pottery photography was done very recently for a Stoke-on-Trent ceramics manufacturer. The Image Factory studio received a phone call in the morning and were asked if we could possibly collect the ware and then photograph and supply the image the same day! Andrew was out on a location shoot at the time but was able to collect the items on his way back to

Brochure Photography

Brochure photography is a major part of what we do here at The Image Factory, Stoke on Trent. This image was taken for Dunoon mugs of Stone, Staffordshire recently and was used as their 2016 brochure back cover.

Pack Shot for Michelin Lifestyle

Pack shots are something we do a lot here at The Image Factory in Stoke-on-Trent. In essence these are very straight forward images to capture, the description is this - noun: (in advertising) a close-up picture of the advertised product in its packaging. In reality it can be quite different, you'll know this is you have tried to capture an image of you product yourself.

Precision Engineering

When a local precision engineering company in Stoke on Trent was recently bought by KMF Limited we were asked to go in and capture some interesting images. The shots needed were of the factory, the staff and machinery and had to show all elements of the processes used. Some of the products they make were brought back to the studio to photograph. Here we have

Capturing Texture

A few months ago Craven Dunnill came to our studio and asked us to photograph a series of small ceramic tiled sets for their website and for use in brochures etc. Here is one of the images taken that day. We have tried to create a realistic enviroment (coffee shop) and light it in such a way to show the tiles and their wonderful textures.

Making a Splash in Photography

Photographing a white ceramic beaker on a white background sounds like it's not going to be the most exciting photography commission ever I agree. However, this is what we were asked to do by Promotional Ceramics of Fenton & with a little creative thinking at our studio we think we have given this ceramics image the wow factor. In combination with creating a splash we

20 Years Photographing Trophy Catalogue

There can't be many companies as loyal as Glenway Trophies from Leicester. The silver trophy and awards company have traveled down the A50 & used The Image Factory in Stoke on Trent for the past TWENTY YEARS to photograph their catalogues. In that time they've transformed from one of the smaller UK trophy and gifts companies to the largest and best in the country. The
