Garage Studios

At Garage Studios we pride ourselves on fresh new ways to shoot great images, and with the Christmas season, we are getting into full swing, having just shot a corporate greeting image for a local Graphic design company, as well as a cover shoot for the Christmas issue of Source.

Now of course you might be thinking that the last thing you want to plan right now is anything Christmas based, but don’t worry we can do the planning for you, with a dedicated shoot producer and photographer, and can take all the pain out of the organising.

Adam, who is our resident corporate photographer and absolute master of both the comedy shot and ‘dressing up’ photo, last shoot involved everything from sourcing just the right colour tinsel to handpicking ‘festive’ jumpers for the entire team he had to shoot.

We can shoot anything from fun, light hearted images, to a simple shot of the team that you may want to send to all your clients, or a great image of the bosses inviting all the team to the office party, or even a perfect image for your company website over the festive season.

We can also come up with concepts that take you out of the limelight if your camera shy, but ensuring each time that we are creating a new unique image that clients, or friends and family will remember. We have a number of photographers here that will work on the idea with you and you just need to pick the style or content of the image- there are a few more individual images below. We have a lot of experience with dealing with budgets, art directors, company branding and even those in the team that would rather face a firing squad than dress up for a company shot. Plus we deal with it all with ease, leave the planning to us, we’ll make sure you can enjoy an afternoon beer, have some fun, and get a great but professional image ready to mail out in time for the office party…..

All of our files are delivered both print and web ready so you can drop your chosen shot in a mailout or get it printed and send it out to contacts. Give the staff a afternoon out of the office and bring them down to the Studio and see what we can do for you.

Here are just a few of the examples from previous years (without the company branding, text etc…)

One of our ex students Mike aka The sunshine pirate is having an exhibition of some of his photography at Northern Lights, 6 Little East Street, Brighton. BN1 1HT. The show runs from Tuesday 1st Dec- 14th. Opening night/ drinks start at 7ish. If you’re about go check it out.

Due to a last minute cancellation, we have one place left on our Fashion Editorial course that is set to go ahead this weekend, 28/29th Nov in Brighton. The course is run by Kevin, and his assistant Natasha, who has shot a lot of fashion and founded GangUp Magazine- which is dedicated to beautiful editorials. We will be providing an experienced and enthusiastic model, who has been published in editorials and covers. We also provide our favourite stylists Stevi and Emma of Ophelia Fancy, who have styled numerous shoots, parties and TV styling, and of course there will be a professional MakeUp artist throughout the day.

The course will look at the idea of creating a story through your images, working with a team, directing a model and producing a great edit. We will discuss the submission process and how to get the best out of your creative team, as well as looking specifically at lighting. For further details click this …..
