Who photographs products and makers in Wirksworth?

North Bear Media does. Norton Hunt, about six miles away in Belper, photographs Wirksworth makers and independent shops, often products shot where they’re made or sold. Photos come with Found & Filmed at £995 a month through a quarterly filming day, or a one-off product shoot is scoped as a project. The £295 Marketing MOT is the usual first step.

Wirksworth’s got a lot of makers, and they sell on how things look.

It’s an old market town up in the Dales, with a strong creative crowd and more independent shops opening.

If you make things, people are buying the product and the person behind it. A photo of the piece on your own bench, or in the shop where it’s sold, does more than a paragraph describing it. That’s the photo I’ll get.

Product shots can be clean and simple on a plain background, or in context, whatever the website or the online shop needs. I’ll come to your workshop or studio with the lights, and if a job needs a proper studio I’ll sort one.

It’s not far, so we meet up in Wirksworth before anything’s planned and you show me what you make.

A product shoot when there’s a new range, or a filming day every quarter.

If you need the new range photographing for the online shop, that’s a one-off shoot. I’ll scope it with you and price it as a project.

Found & Filmed is a filming day at your place every quarter, where I take the stills and some video of the making. Then I edit them, and the posting and the replies are looked after for you, so you can get on with making. It’s £995 a month, rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice either way, so if it’s not working you stop.

It covers getting found on Google and in AI search, a big part of it for a small maker, because people ask ChatGPT where to buy things locally now. Nobody can guarantee what ChatGPT says, but I’ll give you the best chance of being the name it suggests.

Not sure what you need? The MOT’s £295 and it tells you exactly what I’d fix first. Then you choose which way to go.

Common questions about photography in Wirksworth.

How much does business photography cost in Wirksworth?

A one-off shoot in Wirksworth is priced as a project, because a run of product shots and half a day with a maker at work are different jobs. If you bring out new things through the year, Found & Filmed is £995 a month with a filming day on site each quarter. No hire, no training, and I bring the kit. The Marketing MOT is £295 if you’d rather start there.

How long does a photoshoot take?

One to three hours. Headshots are done within the hour, and a session covering products and the workshop takes half a day.

Where do you shoot?

At your premises in Wirksworth or a location that suits the business, and I’ll arrange studio space if it’s needed. Product shots work best where the products are made or sold.

How quickly do I get the photos?

That’s set by how many pieces there are to edit, so a whole new range takes longer than a handful. You’ll have a date before the shoot.

Can I use the photos for anything?

Yes. Full commercial usage rights are included, so they can go on your online shop and anywhere else you sell, in print as well.

If somebody asked ChatGPT where to buy something like yours in Wirksworth, would it say you?

The MOT checks that, and Google as well, for £295, with the three things I’d fix first at the end. Or book a call if you’d rather talk about a shoot.
