Local Philly Brands: How to guide sales by working with a commercial photographer

::Successfully Translate Everyday Tasks into Authentic Visuals for Business::

I get it, you do this every day. Sometimes you have a lot on your plate, and there isn’t always time to find beauty in the things around you, but that’s where I come in. A relevant environmental image with product placement is the way to go in 2024. I've always had a knack for finding interesting moments in the mundane, a skill honed during my photography studies. For most local businesses, giving clients a human aspect to connect with can make all the difference. Let’s show them how things are done, who the people behind the scenes are, and showcase your products or services in all their glory.

More than just white backdrop product photography—although we can do that too—this is a story of where your business is today, how it got there, who has benefited from the presence of a local business, and where you’re products are used. Because that’s what shopping local in Philly is all about.

::Your Business Exists within Your Community::

Maybe that’s obvious but it’s a great rule to live by; you’re not doing business in a vacuum. There's a whole culture in Philadelphia that has helped shape your business mindset. Maybe the concept of your business came from your neighborhood lacking something, or from a problem needing to be solved. Professional photography thrives in environments with a story about community, a geography that helped shape it, and a problem that before you came along, didn’t have a perfect solution. Custom brand photography can share this idea with existing and new audiences alike. We will collect the parts of the story so that you can share it across platforms. It’s a necessary first step for expanding outside of your bubble and into a larger market.

::Social Media Content that Stops Scrollers in Their Tracks::

Let’s face it, a feed filled with poorly lit and off-color phone photos can seem grim and often times can’t attract new followers. As you know in the competitive world of social media'; capturing attention is crucial. Custom brand photography offers a significant edge over quick iPhone snapshots, providing unique, high-quality visuals. Pro images stand out and can be used in any format in any pixel size whether it’s print or online. While iPhone photos can be convenient, they often lack the professional touch that elevates a brand's outward impression. Custom photography ensures every shot embodies your brand's personality, creating a polished aesthetic that resonates with your audience.

Professional photographers bring expertise in lighting, color accuracy, strategic composition, and post-production, resulting in visually stunning and consistent images. These tailored photos showcase authentic moments and people, fostering deeper engagement with viewers. Let’s transform your social media presence, make it memorable and impactful, encouraging scrollers to pause, explore, and engage.

::Final Thoughts::

For businesses in spots like Philadelphia and surrounding mid-atlantic towns, custom brand photography is particularly valuable, capturing the unique spirit and vibrant community of the area. This localized connection resonates strongly with both residents and visitors, setting your brand apart and driving digital marketing goals.
