Recently we were commissioned to photograph a traditional London Taxi Cab for a website we are designing. 

We had a great day out in The New Forest capturing the cab driving in the forest, and at a local church and hotel. The cab will be available to hire for wedding days...keep an eye on our blog for more details soon!

We use Canon 5D MkII full frame cameras and shoot everything in RAW format. Once digitally processed the client receives a DVD of images in full resolution for printing, and low resolution for use on the web.

Focal Strategy have professional photographers in house who can run 1:1 pro photography courses for people starting to work, or already working in the industry.  

Recently we worked with a client 1:1 who needed advice on the right pro equipment to purchase, and also needed training on how to take photographs in very low light using a range of techniques including off camera flash. Digital processing and the storing and archiving of RAW files was also covered. 

We were really pleased to receive feedback on our course a few days later:

"Just wanted to say thank you again for the photography course on Wednesday, it was such a fun day and all the info was invaluable....Today I'm going to put into practice some of the things we talked about! ...You've suddenly made me feel like I might be able to do all of this...."

Focal Strategy are dead pleased to launch a new website for Shawfix Autos of Whinfield Road, Dibden Purlieu...Packed full of useful material, the site is designed to be friendly and informative for Shawfix customers.

At the beginning of the project we photographed the brand new MOT bay and Shawfix team at work. Special attention was paid to the colour of cars in shot, and any clothing worn, so that everything toned in with the company colours on the website. This kind of attention to detail ensures the photographs continue to be useful for offline marketing campaigns such as articles in the Focus Magazine which is delivered quarterly in the local area (look out for Shawfix on the front cover.)

Things we love about the website includes the subtle sliding blue gradient, highlighting the navbar of services on the left, and the way the page slides down to reveal the contact form. We also like the friendly, yet stylish speech bubbles, and the cool team photo!  Why not take a look now? 

Focal Strategy have the expertise to undertake product shots such as these we photographed for Miners Cosmetics. Click on the image to view larger.

Recently we had fun photographing the guys at Buchanans Jewellers in Lymington for the new website we are building for them.
