John Poole
Very professional and incredibly helpfull, he knew exactly what I was looking for and delivered in spades.
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Listen to the client - always! By allowing the client to take the lead, I can deliver what they want and in the end if they are happy - so am I.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Is there a specific look that you are looking for?
If you require some post processing, what do you need me to do - is there anything you do not wish me to change?
Are you willing to meet up before a shoot - it helps to break the ice and permits me to plan the shoot.
What do you love most about your job?
Flexibility. As a photographer I keep some strange hours. Up early for the sunrise shot, working through the day for clients and then out until night time for the sunset. The freedom I have have is brilliant and this flexibility only expands my knowledge and skill.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I spent a long time in the Army and had very few pictures of my time there. When I returned from Afghanistan I picked up a camera and fell in love with photography. After a few years of practice and some courses which professionalised the process, I decided to start taking on commissions. It has grown from there, albeit slowly, but it's a work in progress. My key motivation is to take great pictures for clients, rather than be bogged down with marketing etc.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am patient and very easy to get on with. I care about the finished product deeply, not only because I am putting my name and reputation to it, but mainly because I want my clients to remember the shoot as something which they enjoyed or has been beneficial to them and their business. Secondly, i use excellent equipment and i outsource all prints and framing to One Vision Imaging, one of the best labs in the country. I am always astonished at the quality of their service and this, of course, is passed onto the client. Absolute win!
