Photography and Virtual Events

Gone are the days when the photography industry consisted of just photography studios. Photography, as a practice, has its own fundamentals that one should master. Did you know that knowledge of how to manipulate light, frame things, and make your subjects appear amazing on camera are all principles that guide a photographer whether they’re shooting a single frame, or streaming a three-hour event? We didn’t think so. It’s worth mentioning along with the practices of photography!

That said, we all know that creatives and businesses need more beyond just photography. Streamable videos, event live-streaming, and even professional recording studios are becoming all the more essential, as are the reliable technical frameworks that support activities in a truly professional manner. We have focused our efforts on the all-encompassing visual content creation for businesses.

Photographic Works and Studio Space

Although studio photography can be done anywhere, we have often proved the need to have professional level studio facilities in any photography event. Proper lighting, a controlled environment, and the equipment to be able to get quality images is essential.

The space might be different this Tuesday morning as the studio space that has product photography might be hosting a video conference this Tuesday afternoon.

We discuss the attributes of a photography studio, what studio equipment is essential and what is overpriced, and how to assess whether a studio space will work for your studio project.\ This is relevant whether you are a photographer seeking to rent a studio or a company determining whether you require professional studio facilities for your content.

Live Streaming and Virtual Events

Live streaming, hybrid events and virtual conferences have shifted from temporary workarounds to goalposts in how businesses interact. The most successful companies are not just aiming a webcam at an office worker: they are designed professional studio environments with automated camera switchers, proper audio, strong internet connections, and all the tech people to run the equipment.

We provide content that addresses the essential components of virtual events and how to avoid the common pitfalls to help save you money and help you determine when it makes sense to opt for professional event facilities.

Content Creation and Video Production

All businesses require corporate video content. Training videos, product demonstrations, marketing content, company and more, all of these need to look somewhat polished and professional – without Hollywood levels of funding. Viewers can tell the difference, even if they can’t point to specific elements that scream professional production versus amateur work. We explain what separates professional video production from all others, the elements that make content good versus mediocre, and how to tell if you can manage the work yourself versus when you need proper studio facilities and production to make it good. While our perspective is from the Milton Keynes area, where pro studio facilities have analytics and grown significantly over the past few years, the principles and advice hold true wherever you are. Having professional facilities nearby makes the professional video shoot a lot more seamless, the outcome doesn’t really change based on location.

Milton Keynes has a business community that has very quickly embraced the use of purpose-built studios designed at dedicated facilities for photography, video, and live events. This reflects the rest of the UK. Businesses are realizing a lot visual content is a big part of how they’re perceived, therefore, the work needs to be good. We don’t fluff our content it speaks for itself without the use of predictive corporate speak about ‘excellence’ and ‘exceeding expectations’ which has no value to being informed about a decision. Instead, we focus on practical information such as what works, common problems, and realistic solutions.

You’ll find truthful evaluations regarding the financial benefits of professional facilities and when you may be better off doing something on your own. We simplify technical information without assuming you have expertise and we are honest about the costs and difficulties of the different methods for creating visual content.

Providing the information needed to help you make decisions for your project is our focus, whether you are a photographer wanting to understand how studios are changing to meet new demands, a business owner trying to figure out your video content strategy, or someone organising your first virtual event.

Practical guidance based on real-life instead of best practices will help if you need to make decisions regarding visual content, studio hiring, or event planning.
