As a professional photographer, I like to turn my lens to record exciting moments and I enjoy capturing the brilliance of people and objects.

After being recommended through another connection, I got in touch with Nate. Nate was friendly, welcoming & gave an insight into his own personal life, past shoots & things he has worked on. It was great to hear someone speak highly about their job & the people he has worked with. Nate's passion for photography was not only clear in his words but in his work, which I reviewed before our meet. Nate himself confirms he seeks the vivid, the unusual and the creative spark that can be expressed in those perfect moments. He lived up to this word at my event The Clyder Cup. My event is only in its second year and the images Nate captured have boosted my events exposure as a result. Nate's attention to detail, communication, commitment & passion from before he starts until he's finalised the end product are all massive traits he has and I highly recommend that if your business, event or promotion is looking for someone to capture those special, captivating moments that will be remembered forever, then Nate is your man for the job. Thank you again for everything you done for not only me, but for everyone at our event. More...

Q&As

The easy answer is mastering and understanding light. Being able to take a flattering image in various environments takes a technical understanding of lighting and angles. The more personal answer is connecting with your client, understanding their personality, style and needs, and having that session that compliment those traits!

Generally, something along the lines of what is your final intent for this project? A business headshot for example, may look different than one for a dating site. An e-commerce commercial shoot will be different from a lifestyle shoot. A family session will have a different feel than a corporate retreat. By understanding the end goals of the client, I can begin to construct and plan out their vision.

By far the energy! Particularly in events such as LA Fashion Week and other shows, I love seeing all the creative energy from everyone coming together. And the same goes for weddings, corporate and even family bookings. Every client is different and has their own creative vision, passion. I truly enjoy being able to explore and express those passions in a photograph!

My wife, as a fashion designer and model inspired me to pick up a camera. The energy, passion and creativity of everyone I met while taking photos inspired me to make it a full-time career. The beauty and vibrancy of the world needs to be shown more, and I hope to do my best with showing it!

As a professional Fashion and Event Photographer recently moved from Southern California, I possess a unique vision and creative style. While working for the official In-House teams for events such as LA Fashion Week, San Diego Fashion Week and more I have been proven to work well under pressure and produce stunning images for both commercial and family clients. As a Fashion Photographer my wedding packages themselves tend to be very colorful and vibrant!

Most Beginner Photography Workshops can be taught online/remotely. Consultations can also be done online/remotely.

All equipment is sanitized before every session. I and any employees working on a project always comply with local regulations, to include masking.

Services

Events are a fantastic way to promote your business, and they bring together customers and employees and offer you the opportunity to sell what your business is all about.

Whether you're a charity looking for new funders, a DJ looking to promote your club nights, a small business like a cafe, you can benefit from event photography.

If you require promotional photos that offer standout, professional visual coverage of key moments that can be used for advertising, Nate Cleary Photography is here to provide sharp images highlighting your company's successes.

*Why You Should Hire An Event Photographer*
-Although with modern mobile phones it can be tempting to do your own event photography, mobile phones are not capable of reaching across the event space to capture all of the important moments.

They also produce images that are one-size only and often appear grainy and dull when uploaded as marketing materials. Amateur photography can give potential clients and customers the wrong impression of your brand, so you want to ensure that every promotional image you use is high-quality.

Nate Cleary Photography can offer you expert photography captured with expert equipment. As I have extensive experience with a range of event and commercial photography, I understand the importance of sharp, well-lit images that you can use in your marketing materials and will work with you to get these images. Together, we can get various images that truly represent your business.

*Expert Brand Photography Services*
-Before we work together, we'll have a consultation to discuss everything you want to achieve with your event photography.

We'll go over your event, its objectives and its key audience. We can also conduct optional walkthroughs in your event space beforehand to mark or note key areas for event photography and review lighting systems and the flow of event spaces and activities.

We will take every precaution to ensure that our photography doesn't interfere with the event; for example, we use silent cameras and set up the lighting in advance to be complimentary. We also utilise specialised low-light lenses with a long reach, allowing speeches and presentations to be made without distraction.

Nate Cleary event photography services include full coverage of your event from setup to finish. You can expect clear, crisp shots in short order from your event, in formats both full-resolution and optimised for social media.

*Book A Red Carpet Photograph Session For Your Event *
-Make your event something truly special and hire a 'red carpet' backdrop for your guests. This is a great way to get people involved in having their photographs taken and offers an easy way to get excellent group shots for your promotions.

Using a backdrop also encourages sharing images, increasing your online reach. At Nate Cleary Photography, we can provide lighting and backdrops for any big or small event.

If you're based in Scotland and looking for event photography, get in touch with us today. We'd love to schedule a consultation to discuss how we can bring your vision to life!

Headshots are an important part of brand photography. A good headshot can influence how people perceive your business or brand and determine whether or not they seek to contact you.

It's important to have high-quality images to market your brand and show potential clients that you're a reliable company. Hire a professional headshot photographer today and ensure all of your business headshots are optimised to target your key demographics.

*Professional Headshot Photography Services*
-Corporate Headshot and Brand Photography consist of various styles based on the setting or need. Usually, headshots are needed for websites and social media profiles – but they're also a fantastic addition to brochures and other marketing tools. Headshots show potential clients and customers the people behind the company, which helps to personalise their connection with your brand.

While it may be tempting to try and take headshots yourself, most mobile phones don’t possess the technology needed to create high-quality portraits that highlight the subject's features.

Hiring us as your professional headshot photographer will ensure the process goes smoothly without disrupting your work day. We can provide expert lighting, camera work and backdrops to ensure you get the best images possible.

*Headshot Customization Options*
-The location and background of your headshot images are important for establishing the mood you want the photos to capture.

You may opt for a studio backdrop to provide contrast, gravitas and focus on the person. Or, you may prefer to be on-location at your office space, providing a glimpse of the workspace and employee camaraderie. We can do it outdoors or at a unique location where the background actively enhances the story of your company's brand.

During your consultation, we will discuss the options and decide what will work best for your vision.

*Lighting*
-We provide an array of lighting setups and styles for our headshot shoots. This includes lighting suitable for bold, high-key shots or more subtle, natural looks. No matter where you decide to shoot (be it the studio, or your offices) we can bring equipment to create your ideal lighting. It all depends on what you want your photos to say!

*Poses*
-As professional headshot photographers, we know it can feel a little awkward when you're not used to posing, so we're here to support you through the process with natural guidance on posing and looks.

We can help with your personal branding and will do everything to make your headshot session feel relaxed and friendly – we want it to be a positive experience.

*Background Replacement Options For Headshots*
-An exciting new option that we offer is background replacements. This is a popular choice for large companies that require headshots to be taken in-house but don't have a suitable backdrop.

Utilizing the latest post-production techniques, we can seamlessly replace dull backgrounds with a wide variety of digital backdrops, so your photos can look exactly how you want them.

If you're a business based in Scotland and want to get high-quality headshots for your team, please feel free to contact us to arrange a consultation.

For designers and retailers looking to elevate their brand, I am able to provide a full range of customized options to best support your vision. I can create anything from a full editorial spread for publication, single ads, to photography for stand-out social media campaigns for brands big and small. Additional services I offer thanks to my production team partnership include compiling and designing lookbooks, as well as complete creative director input to help realize unique concepts (available upon request only.) Contact me to discuss your needs.

As part of the LA Fashion Week, San Diego Fashion Week House Photography Teams and Lead Photographer for San Diego International Film Festival, I am highly qualified for runway coverage and available throughout Europe. I am also available for commissioned editorial work for print publications that enjoy my style and would like to have a custom shoot.

For those looking to enhance their photography skills/ knowledge for personal or professional reasons, I offer in person or remote photography workshops. These modules are designed for the kinesthetic learner and will enable you to achieve a higher understanding of your camera and photography. Specific modules include Intro to your Camera, Photoshoot Techniques, Intro to Lighting and Editing. By the end of each module you will better understand your camera, how to use it, and how to properly employ light and editing techniques to put the final polish on your images.


Sessions includes not only on-hands training but helpful materials specific to your camera to assist you in your future photography endeavors. This service is a great feature not only for individual prospective photographers but also companies looking to develop their own in-house photography workflows.

Commercial photography is an instrumental part of crafting your brand's identity. Iit helps to showcase what your brand is about and connect you with key clientele. The key to commercial photography is storytelling – you must ask yourself what your brand represents and how you want to tell this to the world.

Many brands will attempt to do their photography in-house. However, if you don't have much experience with brand photography, it can be difficult to convey the meaning you want to, in the quality it needs, to be effective across platforms. In our digital world, having a range of captivating, high-quality images to sell your brand can be vital to your success.

Don't limit yourself to sub-par photos; hire a professional commercial photographer who understands what it takes to tell a brand's story with photography.

When you choose Nate Cleary as your commercial photographer, you choose someone who understands how to connect all of the key photographic elements to create something impactful for your websites and advertising.

*My Experience With Commercial Photography*
-Over the years, I have built up an extensive portfolio of commercial photography for a variety of different clients across numerous industries.

Having cut my teeth in the Commercial and Fashion Industries in Los Angeles, I am well-equipped and experienced in the Commercial, Product, and Fashion Photography fields. I'm now based in Glasgow and work with clients across Scotland to create beautiful, effective imagery for their brands.

I know how to create scroll-stopping imagery that highlights your brand's most desirable aspects to increase traffic and conversions.

*Tell Your Brand's Story With A Commercial Photographer*
-During our initial consultation appointment, we'll discuss what your intentions with your marketing are and who the clientele that you want to reach is. This will allow us to use a targeted story-building approach to use your photography to reach these key demographics.

We can use visual techniques such as mood boarding to establish what colour and tones you'd like to represent your brand and what type of 'personality' you'd like the photos to show. We can also do this to compare your brand to similar or competing brands, so we can create an individual style that helps your business to stand out from the crowd.

*Targeting Key Demographics With Brand Photography*
-Once I know exactly what story you want your photography to tell, I will work with you to build this image. A key component is finding models and locations that appeal to your key demographics.

I have access to various expert models who can easily help convey your brand's tone and appeal to your target audience. We can work together to find the perfect fit for your photography.

We can also work to establish the perfect lighting and location settings for your shoots. I have a studio, on-location and natural lighting options available, giving the flexibility to create properly lit environments for high-key, low-key or natural looks that support your brand's image.

*Commercial Photography Optimised For All Campaigns*
-There are lots of ways you might want to display the final products of your commercial photoshoots, for example:

*Billboards
*Small print
*Digital
*Social Media
*Posters
-Each of these can involve further editing and processing techniques to ensure that your photos maintain the quality and ratio you need to remain effective.

I will discuss your website, social media, print needs and capacities with you before we take your images. You can expect multiple versions of each image to support those formats after the shoot is done. This can also include specific cropping to allow for banners or other signage to be applied to blank spaces on the image.

If you're ready to take your branding to the next level, I'd love to hear from you.

Upon getting in touch, we can schedule an initial consultation to discuss what you'd like from your commercial branding and what I can do to bring it to life.

Professional property photography services are incredibly important for getting images that help your properties to stand out from the crowds. There are thousands of property photos online, so it’s important to showcase the very best features of your space to get the viewers attention.

*HDR Professional Property Photography*
-‘HDR’ Photography is a type of advanced photo technique which means each image is actually a combination of multiple images at different exposures, providing ‘high dynamic range’ (HDR) results. Human eyes have a very high dynamic range, which allows us to pick up on shadows and highlights in our surroundings. HDR photography works similarly, capturing an image that really shows off the highlights of a space as they are in real life.

Many cameras will struggle to capture images that accurately show off a space, as their dynamic range is not high enough, and that’s why it’s a great idea to go with a professional property photographer to really showcase your space as it is and show off all of its best features.

Using a combination of expert lighting techniques and camera technology, Nate Cleary Photography can provide you with HDR images that highlight all of the key points of your building or space. After post-production, you will receive images in multiple formats based on your website and needs at no extra charge.

*HDR Property Photography For Low Light Areas*
-Another incredible feature of HDR photography is its ability to work in environments with minimal light. Interior images will be cleanly lit, while window spaces showing the outside will be equally evenly composed. This allows for full depth and detail of images to be displayed both in bright and dark areas of a room. With our HDR photography services, you won’t have to worry about over exposed images or dark spots.

*Property Photography For Social Media*
-We understand that due to the extremely high level of detail in HDR property photography, these files will be considerably larger than others, and social media sites and sites may struggle to share them without compressing the quality. To ensure you can share your new images everywhere, we provide multiple images keyed into your advertising needs.

*HDR Exterior Property Photography *
-Just as our HDR photography is fantastic at capturing multi-dimensional images of interior spaces, it’s also perfect for exterior shots. No matter the weather, we will be able to capture high-quality images that show your clients all the best features of your property.

Nate Cleary’s professional property photography service is based in Glasgow, and operates around surrounding areas in Scotland.

If you’re looking to get a range of high quality HDR images of your property, get in touch with us today for a consultation.

We’ll discuss what you want your images to showcase and how we can help you optimise your marketing and selling potential through photography.

Our e-commerce photography services can help you get clear, crisp images for your products for online stores, advertisements and more. When it comes to showing off your products, you need images that convey all of their best features, and that's where Nate Cleary's photography comes in.

With years of experience in commercial, fashion and product photography, we can offer your business high-quality product photography with access to expert equipment such as invisible ghost mannequins and studio set-ups. Don't settle for anything less than perfect; get eye-catching photos of your products today!

*What Is Ghost Mannequin Photography? *
-Using a ghost mannequin instead of a regular mannequin helps you show off the shape of your product without distraction from a mannequin's body. The invisible structure wears the clothes but doesn't show up in photographs, meaning you get to show off your product without anything unnecessary in the background – drawing the customer's eye to the product's best features.

Ghost mannequin photography helps your brand to showcase products in a way that gives a real sense of depth to the clothing (as opposed to folded or laid out on a table) and allows you to see the inner details of the designs.

Considered the main standard industry imagery for top brands in London, ghost mannequin photography is a unique feature Nate Cleary Photography can offer in Glasgow and Scotland. It is a low-cost solution for getting expert product photography with a quick turnaround.

Ghost mannequin photography allows for rapid shooting, with shoots taking as little as one day to photograph an entire collection. As a ghost mannequin photographer in Glasgow, we can quickly shoot, edit and deliver your perfectly rendered images in as little as 48 hours at an exceptionally affordable rate.

This unparalleled service also includes ensuring that your images fit your vision for what you need them for, whether it’s e-commerce, advertising campaigns (such as billboards, posters etc.), social media or more.

*In-House Ghost Mannequin Product Photography*
-We offer a range of fantastic in-house shooting options for smaller items at your business's location. Regarding shooting on location, we can bring our collection of see-through stands to help create ghost mannequin-style photographs of smaller items, such as jewellery, sunglasses or other small products.

Shooting in-house doesn't mean you'll miss out on any of the professional aspects of the experience, as we'll bring it all to you. We will bring full lighting set-ups and offer options of using your unique backgrounds and ambience or providing our own.

This allows you to have professional product images taken without dealing with shipping or damaging products and with no temporary loss of inventory as you wait for the products to be returned.

*Professional Product Photography Lighting*
-When it comes to e-commerce product photography, clients most often struggle with the lighting of their products. It's important to have lighting that accurately highlights and shows off your product's features and selling points, and hiring a professional product photographer is the best way to ensure you get these results.

E-commerce products come in all shapes and sizes, along with varying levels of reflectiveness based on their materials. Utilising our mobile product photography studio, we have an exemplary range of enhanced lighting and shooting techniques to compose and complement your products properly.

With special equipment such as ghost mannequins and wireless rotating stands, we can conduct quick e-commerce product shooting with minimal adjustments and no fingerprints interfering with the final images.

If you're a business or designer based in Scotland and want high-quality photos of your products, please contact us to arrange a consultation. We'll discuss your visions for your photos and what we can do to make them a reality.
