Photography for businesses from Typeface

Yes. Typeface focuses on smaller businesses, typically with fewer than 50 people. Original photography gives prospective clients a clearer impression of your team, your working environment and the business they will be dealing with. A carefully planned shoot can provide useful imagery across your website, social media and printed materials.

Typeface's photography service is intended to make original imagery accessible to businesses that might otherwise rule it out on cost. Planning around your priorities helps keep the scope focused. A shoot might concentrate on team portraits and a selection of working images, giving you a useful starting collection within an agreed budget.

Typeface photographs people and businesses at work, including headshots, team portraits, candid office photography and staff in everyday situations. Events and corporate gatherings are also covered. The emphasis is on showing the people, activities and details that give your business its character.

Yes. Candid and situational photography allows people to be photographed within familiar surroundings, often while working or talking with colleagues. For headshots and more directed images, simple guidance helps people understand what to do. The aim is to create photographs that feel comfortable and representative of your team.

Yes. These can be planned together, allowing time for individual portraits alongside team interactions, working scenes and details of your premises. Agreeing a short shot list and staff availability beforehand helps make effective use of the visit and limit interruptions to the working day.

Yes. Coverage can include presentations, networking, team gatherings and other business events. A brief covering the schedule, key people and intended use of the images helps establish what needs to be captured. Alongside the main activities, candid photographs can record the conversations and atmosphere around the event.

Photography contributes to how a brand is recognised and understood. Lighting, colour, composition and subject matter all influence the impression an image creates. Planning these alongside your existing identity helps the photographs sit comfortably with your typography, colour palette and tone of communication.

Showing your own people and working environment also gives the identity something specific to communicate: the character of your business and the experience of working with you.

Yes. Typeface works across all three, allowing the corporate and visual identity to be developed as a complete project. The branding establishes the visual language, the website applies it to the online experience, and the photography introduces the people and places behind the business.

Planning the work together also means photographs can be composed for particular page layouts, with suitable crops and space for text. The resulting material provides a consistent basis for your website, presentations, social media and print.

Yes. You retain a licence to use the delivered photographs for the purposes agreed for your project. The intended uses, such as your website, social media, presentations and printed marketing, are discussed when the work is scoped. The licence terms are confirmed as part of the agreement, so you know how the images can be used.

Start with where you need to use the photographs and what you want them to communicate. Share your website, any brand guidelines and a list of the people, spaces or activities to include. Let staff know what is planned and identify anything confidential that should stay out of shot. A little preparation helps the session fit around your business.
